Full Stack Engineer

• Build features end to end: React/TypeScript on the front, Node/Express on the back, PostgreSQL underneath
• Ship to GCP (Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, and the rest of the stack) and keep an eye on what it costs
• Build and integrate AI features: Anthropic SDK, prompt engineering, multi-agent systems, RAG
• Craft frontends and UI that are clean, thoughtful, and genuinely nice to use: interfaces with taste, not just working components
• Use Claude Code daily to move fast without shipping AI Slop
• Partner with the team on application architecture, deployment workflows, and production reliability
• Push back on over-engineering. Keep things simple and shippable

Do you have a Bachelor’s degree?, * Strong hands-on experience building and shipping full-stack web apps

• Solid React + TypeScript and Node/Express
• Real PostgreSQL: schema design, queries, the parts that matter
• Hands-on GCP experience (Cloud Run, Cloud SQL); other clouds fine if you’ll pick up GCP fast
• Experience building applications that scale. You think about performance and reliability as usage grows, not after it breaks
• Mobile development is a plus but not required. Nice if you can extend products to mobile when it matters
• Fluent with Claude Code. You use it as a primary development tool, understand agent workflows, and can set it up for a team, not just autocomplete
• A real eye for design. You care about how things look and feel, and can turn a rough idea into a clean, interesting interface
• Good judgment about when AI output is right and when it’s confidently wrong
• Clear communication; you can explain technical tradeoffs to people who don’t live in the codebase
• Based in the Chicago area. We prefer working in-office (we’ve got a collaborative environment and the work moves faster in person) but we’re flexible on remote days when you need them

Nice to Have

• Production experience integrating LLM APIs (Anthropic SDK especially)
• Multi-agent or tool-use system design
• Familiarity with GCP infrastructure, CI/CD, and cost optimization
• Background in a startup or small team where you wore multiple hats
• Experience mentoring or leading small teams
