Descripción del empleo

Albert Bow are supporting an early-stage start-up in NYC that is looking to hire a Software Engineer to join its growing engineering team.

Our client is building an enterprise software platform that connects contracts, documents, invoices and financial data to automate processes that remain heavily manual across large organisations.

The product is already live, commercially proven and being used by major US customers.

They're now looking to grow their engineering team with someone who wants to work across the technology stack, build high-quality software and have a direct impact on the product.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on mid-level engineering role within a small, technically driven team.

You'll work closely with the founders and existing engineers, contributing to the development of the core platform and helping build out new features and functionality.

You'll have exposure across the full development lifecycle, working across backend services, frontend applications, APIs and integrations. There's plenty of opportunity to take ownership of projects, influence technical decisions and see your work directly impact customers.

The role will involve:

• Developing and maintaining applications using Node.js, TypeScript and React.
• Building and improving backend services, APIs and frontend functionality.
• Developing integrations with enterprise systems and third-party platforms.
• Working with databases and large volumes of structured and unstructured data.
• Building features around document processing, data extraction and information retrieval.
• Contributing to the development of AI-powered features within the platform.
• Improving application performance, reliability and scalability.
• Working with cloud infrastructure and deployment environments.
• Collaborating with the founders and wider team to turn product requirements into technical solutions.
• Taking ownership of features from initial development through to production.

You'll have the opportunity to work across different parts of the technology stack, rather than being restricted to one particular area of the product.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in software engineers with a solid engineering foundation who enjoy building products and working across the full development lifecycle.

You might currently be a Software Engineer, Full-Stack Engineer or Backend Engineer looking for an opportunity to take on more responsibility and work within an early-stage technology business.

We're looking for someone with:

• Experience building and maintaining production software (2+ years experience)
• Experience with Node.js and backend application development.
• Exposure to frontend development, ideally using React.
• A good understanding of APIs, databases and system design.
• Experience working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL.
• Familiarity with cloud environments such as AWS or GCP.
• An appreciation for writing clean, maintainable and reliable code.
• The ability to work independently, solve problems and take ownership of deliverables.

Experience with Elasticsearch, distributed systems and enterprise integrations would be beneficial.

Exposure to AI/LLM technologies, RAG or vector databases would be a nice addition, but isn't essential.

You don't need to tick every box. We're more interested in your engineering fundamentals, what you've built and your ability to contribute across the stack.

The Person

You'll enjoy working in a small engineering team where you can have a genuine influence on the product.

You're comfortable getting stuck into unfamiliar problems, learning new technologies and taking responsibility for the work you deliver.

You don't need to have worked at a start-up before, but you'll need to be comfortable with an environment where things move quickly, priorities can change and engineers are expected to contribute beyond narrowly defined responsibilities.

Above all, you're a hands-on engineer who enjoys building products, solving problems and working across different areas of the technology stack.

Why This Role?

The product is already live, the business has established major enterprise customers and the engineering team is at an exciting stage of growth.

You'll be joining early enough to have a meaningful influence on the product, work closely with the founders and gain exposure to the technical challenges involved in scaling a commercially proven software platform.

It's an opportunity to develop your engineering experience, work across a modern technology stack and take genuine ownership within a growing business.
