Job summary

Arketa is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to build AI-powered products for fitness studios, speeding up the team and modernizing core architecture. You will develop customer-facing AI features, improve CI, observability, and tooling, while mentoring peers and shaping engineering patterns across a small, autonomous team.

You will work across the stack (TypeScript, Node, NestJS, React, Postgres) on a fast-paced product engineering track with significant ownership and impact for small business

Qualifications

• 8+ years of software engineering experience in most cases, though we care more about evidence than years
• Full-stack contributor. Deep expertise somewhere is great, but everyone here contributes across the stack. If you only want to work in one layer, this isn't the role
• A JavaScript and TypeScript background. You can come from an adjacent ecosystem, but you should be fluent and happy in JS/TS
• AI-native. You actively use AI tooling in your daily work and you build agentic workflows, evals, and automation into how your team operates. Not just coding assistants
• Scope of impact beyond a single team. You've influenced how engineering works at an org of roughly 20+ engineers, not just shipped well within your own squad
• A track record of leading successful migrations
• Experience designing systems for reliability: observability, alerting, incident response
• A history of influencing beyond your own work, including setting technical direction, establishing patterns others adopt, and raising the bar through code review, pairing, and mentorship
• Strong product judgment: you can take an ambiguous customer problem, scope it pragmatically, and ship in small increments
• Comfort operating with high autonomy and low process, creating the right amount of structure rather than waiting for it

Responsibilities

• Build AI products that let studio operators automate their operations so they can focus on the parts of their business they're most passionate about
• Build agentic loops that improve the product, our codebase, our internal systems, and our ability to deliver for customers
