Job description

About Luminai

Nearly every organization in the world relies on complex manual work to carry out critical internal processes. These are processes that keep the world going — enrolling patients in a hospital, underwriting loans inside a bank, or processing new transactions for an airline. Yet most companies don’t have enough resources to properly automate these tasks and are stuck in manual, decades old way of doing things.

At Luminai, we develop technology to automate long-form organization wide workflows of any complexity easily and safely using AI. Luminai serves some of the world’s most critical organizations in sectors like Healthcare, Finance, and Telecommunication to delegate mission-critical workflows that previously required hands-on human involvement, over to autonomous AI systems. Our approach combines frontier AI development, with a purpose built workflow execution engine to achieve this goal.

We've raised significant amounts of capital (including some un-announced) from many of the best Silicon Valley VCs: General Catalyst, YCombinator, and investors including Kevin Weil (Chief Product Officer at OpenAI), Arash Ferdowsi (co-founder of Dropbox), Katie Stanton (former VP Global Media, Twitter) and CEOs of companies including Flexport, Notion, Front, Ramp and Twitch.

About the Role

As a Software Engineer working on Product, you will design, build, improve user facing applications and systems that deliver an exceptional experience. As one of the early joiners to the team, you’ll be a pivotal member in the team with scaling our products for the future, designing, and building new features, and helping take us to the next level.

We are hybrid out of our awesome HQ in San Mateo - 3 days per week.

What you might work on

• Lead large application development projects, including planning, designing and implementing across the stack.
• Collaborate and contribute on the core product direction that leverages system improvements and deliver ever higher customer value
• Maintain and enhance overall Luminai tooling, working on both frontend and backend components
• Champion best practices in software development, including code reviews, testing, and maintainability, to ensure high-quality and resilient software.
• Contribute to the design and implementation of robust API, authentication, and middleware solutions, enhancing the scalability and security of our platform.

Things we're looking for

• Proven track record of shipping high-quality code in challenging projects
• Previous experience building products from 0-1, then scaling to larger audiences
• Significant experience working with JavaScript/TypeScript, React and Python
• You sweat the important details and are passionate about maintainable, scalable frontend concepts
• Experience across the entire stack, from backend to frontend (and if you have a preference, we’d love to consider it!)

Benefits & Perks:

• Comprehensive health care benefits (medical, dental, vision)
• Flexible time off + 9 paid company holidays
• Financial planning support (401K, HSA, FSA)
• 12 weeks primary-caregiver parental leave; 6 weeks secondary-caregiver parental leave
• Stipends for mental and physical wellness
