Full-time
We’re hiring a Full Stack Software Engineer to help build and refine our web-based interfaces, turning AI signal processing systems into an intuitive, performant user experience. You’ll work across the stack—from front-end frameworks like React to backend services in Rust—delivering fast, scalable solutions that keep pace with our rapidly evolving product.
This is not just a heads-down coding gig. You’ll be part of architecture discussions, quick prototypes, and real customer deployments, all in a startup environment where speed and ownership matter. If you’re hungry to grow, comfortable wearing multiple hats, and excited to push features quickly, we’d love to chat.
What you’ll do:
- Build and optimize front-end applications in React for real-time data visualization and user interaction.
- Develop backend APIs and services, contributing to both Rust and Python codebases.
- Work with databases and data streaming systems, ensuring performance and reliability at scale.
- Contribute to ad hoc prototypes—like a quick UI or a full system add-on—and integrate them seamlessly into the overall product.
- Collaborate closely with product, design, and ML teams, translating insights and feedback into new features or improvements.
- Participate in architecture-level decisions, helping shape the evolution of our platform.
- Grow fast with real opportunities – We’ll keep expanding your scope and giving you bigger challenges to help you reach your goals. If you don’t know exactly what role you want to grow into, you’ll have the freedom to take on different responsibilities and find the right path.
Who we’re looking for (every role):
- Fast learners over specific backgrounds – We care more about how quickly you can pick up new skills than where you’ve worked before.
- Intellectual honesty – The right answer matters more than being right. You challenge assumptions, test ideas, and pivot when needed.
- Adaptability – We’re organized, but sometimes things change quickly. You find a way to make it work and balance short term deliverables with long term goals.
- Ownership of outcomes – You optimize your own time, focus on what matters to deliver quickly, and cut out inefficiencies.
- Not building in a vacuum – You stay connected to the rest of our teams and our customers to make sure all the pieces fit together.
Who we’re looking for (this role):
- Hands-on full stack experience—you’re comfortable hopping between frontend frameworks (React) and backend services (Rust, Python).
- Strong web development fundamentals—RESTful APIs, databases, and modern front-end tooling.
- Preferably startup experience, or at least a track record of working fast and delivering in a dynamic environment.
- Comfortable in Linux environments, with good understanding of build, deploy, and testing workflows.
- Excited to learn quickly and take on challenges beyond your immediate comfort zone.
- Great communication skills—you’ll discuss designs, explain technical trade-offs, and coordinate with multiple teams.
What We Offer:
- Above-market salary, equity, and benefits package. In accordance with NY regulations, the salary range for this position is $100,000-$300,000 to cover a broad range of candidate experience.
- Excellent health, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) match - 100% up to 4% of salary
- Unlimited PTO
- Daily office lunches in NYC
