About the Company

Figwork is building an AI headhunter for the modern hiring market.

We help companies find qualified candidates through richer talent data, candidate conversations, assessments, and AI-powered matching instead of relying only on resumes and job boards. We work with both sides of the market: candidates looking for the right opportunities, and companies looking for people who are qualified, interested, and ready to talk.

We are starting with a large early-career talent network of U.S. college students and recent graduates, and we are building the infrastructure to turn that network into a high-quality, data-driven hiring marketplace.

We are hiring a full-stack Software Engineer to help build the core product and technical foundation of Figwork. You will work across frontend, backend, data systems, and AI-powered workflows to ship the systems that power candidate onboarding, company workflows, matching, ranking, and recruiter tools.

What You Will Own

• End-to-end ownership of core product systems across frontend, backend, data, and AI workflows
• Building full-stack features for candidate onboarding, company dashboards, recruiter tools, and marketplace operations
• Integrating AI and LLM-based matching components into production product flows
• Designing interfaces between models and application logic, including confidence scores, fallbacks, human review, and edge cases
• Building systems that turn candidate conversations, assessments, profiles, and employer requirements into usable hiring signals
• Designing marketplace logic for cold start, candidate ranking, recruiter feedback, task routing, quality control, and retry flows
• Improving reliability, latency, observability, and data quality across the product
• Making early architectural decisions that shape the long-term technical foundation of Figwork

Who We Are Looking For

• 3-5 years of professional software engineering experience with a strong track record of shipping products
• Strong full-stack experience across frontend, backend, databases, APIs, and cloud infrastructure
• Experience with modern web technologies such as React, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, and cloud platforms
• Experience building user-facing products where reliability, speed, and product judgment matter
• Comfort working in a fast-moving startup environment where requirements change quickly and ownership is broad
• Understanding of how AI or LLM-based systems behave in production, including latency, variance, evaluation, and failure modes
• Experience with recommendation systems, marketplace products, recruiting technology, or data-heavy workflows is a strong plus
• Strong product sense and willingness to work close to users, not just code from a spec

Why Join Figwork

• Build the technical foundation of an early-stage AI marketplace from the ground up
• Work on a real two-sided marketplace with candidates, companies, matching, ranking, and feedback loops
• Collaborate with academic AI researchers while staying focused on production systems
• Own major product and architecture decisions early
• Join a small team where your work directly shapes the company

Compensation and Benefits

Pay: $120,000.00 - $300,000.00 per year, based on experience
