- **Salary:** $170,000 - $180,000

## About the Role

* Senior engineer, comfortable working independently without heavy oversight
 * Genuinely full-stack, equally comfortable across backend and frontend, not a narrow specialist
 * Daily, hands-on user of AI tools in your workflow. Not AI-skeptical, and not purely AI-crutch without underlying fundamentals
 * Strong communicator. We weight this as highly as technical stack match
 * Comfortable with ambiguity. You'd rather be handed a problem than a ticket

Nice to have

 * Experience with offline-first or real-time sync architectures
 * Applied ML/AI product experience
 * Background in customer-facing or forward-deployed engineering

## Description

This isn't a ticket-taking job. You'll join a 6-person engineering team running short, 3-week cycles where you're handed real business problems, not specs, and expected to shape your own solution, often by talking directly to customers and stakeholders. We're looking for a senior engineer who wants to own outcomes, not just execute tasks.

What you'll be working on

 * A product moving from estimation software into on-site, offline-first tools for tradies in the field
 * AI-driven features: smart defaults, metadata extraction, and an MCP server integration
 * A modern TypeScript stack end to end (Node.js, MongoDB, React), with growing real-time/websocket and offline-sync work
