Job Title

Senior Full-Stack Engineer [Full Time; 100% remote; US-only]

Job Description

The Role

You'd be joining a lean, high-leverage engineering team tackling the complexity of legal software — not by pushing longer hours, but by getting genuinely good at working alongside AI. This isn't a "we occasionally use ChatGPT" team. The group is actively figuring out how to hand repetitive engineering work to AI so people can spend their time on the problems that actually need human judgment.

If you like tight feedback loops and think of AI as a real engineering collaborator rather than a novelty, this is that kind of team.

Compensation, Benefits & Culture

Founded by two repeat entrepreneurs who set out to build a company without the usual startup burnout culture — their previous venture picked up multiple workplace-quality awards.

The team protects:

• A sustainable pace
• Long stretches of uninterrupted deep work
• A light meeting calendar

Comp: USD $135,000 - $185,000 DOE, equity grant appropriate to the role, standard ~40-hour week.

Benefits:

• Fully remote — work from anywhere
• Medical, dental, and vision for you and your family
• Annual stipends toward learning/development and personal wellness
• Retirement plan with an employer contribution regardless of what you personally contribute
• Flexible PTO (vacation, sick time, holidays)
• Paid parental leave for either parent

What You'll Do

• Help push the engineering org toward an AI-native way of building software
• Keep improving internal dev workflows — using AI to ship faster, automate regression coverage, and hold the line on code quality
• Design, build, ship, and support full-stack systems end to end
• Work cross-functionally to deliver complete solutions spanning AI, modern web tooling, data stores, and backend platforms
• Write code that's scalable, reusable, and easy for the next person to maintain
• Make sure what you ship works well across browser and mobile
• Build automated test coverage into new work as you go, not after
• Take part in the on-call rotation
• Partner with architects and peers on system design, dependency choices, and long-term maintainability
• Split time between new feature work and keeping existing systems healthy
• Communicate clearly with non-engineering stakeholders
• Mentor more junior engineers and help set technical direction

Restrictions

• Telecommuting is OK
• No Agencies Please

Requirements

What We're Looking For

7+ years of professional, commercial software development — shipping, deploying, maintaining, and debugging real production systems — plus:

• A track record of actually improving how a team ships software using modern AI tooling (not just personal productivity hacks)
• Hands‑on experience with AI coding agents (e.g., tools like Claude Code, Codex, or similar) as part of your regular workflow
• Experience pointing AI tooling at large-scale refactors, modularization, and code analysis
• Solid Python / Django experience
• Solid React experience
• GraphQL experience (Apollo Client and/or Relay)
• Comfort writing real unit test coverage

Nice to Have

• AWS, Docker, Terraform
• MongoDB, PostgreSQL
• Git
• Experience with third-party integrations — things like O365, DocuSign, generic REST APIs, Salesforce, SAML 2.0, or Zapier
• Exposure to monitoring/alerting tooling

Who Does Well Here

• Sharp analytical and problem-solving instincts
• Real curiosity about LLMs and AI-assisted engineering — not just tolerance for it
• Comfortable with shifting priorities and some ambiguity
• Cares about the end-user experience, not just the code
• Self-directed, high agency, high accountability
• Takes pride in the craft and welcomes feedback
• Communicates and documents clearly
• Genuinely curious, always picking up new tools
• Operates with integrity and sound judgment

About the Company

Most B2B software hangs on by selling harder. This company we represent hangs on because customers refuse to leave.

They're a profitable SaaS business that helps legal and compliance teams actually run their contracts — growing fast enough that the product keeps outrunning the size of the team, without the usual raise-burn-scramble cycle. An institutional round a few years ago built the foundation; since then they've stayed capital-efficient and in the black.

In their category, they're the product buyers pick when they care about ease of use and whether they'll still be happy a year later. Retention is effectively maxed out. That same discipline shows up inside the company: a small team that protects a real work/life boundary and still ships software people stick with.
