Job description

A high-growth AI-native startup is hiring a Full Stack Engineer in San Francisco to build broad, deep features across the entire product stack.

This is a role for engineers who like range: comfortable in Python one hour and polishing a React component the next. You’ll own features end to end, from data model to interface, and ship at the pace an early-stage startup actually needs.

Role: Full Stack Engineer

Location: San Francisco, 5 days per week in office

What you’ll be doing:

• Build and ship full-stack features across Python, TypeScript, React and Next.js
• Own problems end to end: data model, API, UI, deployment and instrumentation
• Make pragmatic trade-offs between speed and craft based on what the moment needs
• Partner with product, design and the founders on scope and priorities
• Use AI tooling (Claude, Cursor and similar) throughout your workflow to compress the cycle
• Keep an eye on reliability, performance and user experience as the product scales

What you’ll need:

• Strong production experience across Python, TypeScript, React and Next.js
• Genuine full-stack range: comfortable in both backend and frontend without preferring one and tolerating the other
• Track record shipping features end to end in a startup or high-growth environment
• Fluent in modern AI engineering tools and able to use them to materially raise output
• High autonomy and the pragmatism to make the right call with incomplete information
• Happy in a 5-days in-office, high-intensity environment

Nice to have:

• Early-stage startup experience
• Exposure to AI/LLM product features or agentic workflows
• Comfort with cloud infrastructure and modern deployment tooling

This role would suit a full-stack engineer who wants real ownership of features end to end and a stack they genuinely enjoy working across.
