About the Company
An AI-powered business software platform that enables companies to build custom CRMs, ERPs, HR systems, inventory tools, and other business applications simply by chatting with AI. The company has experienced rapid revenue growth, serves hundreds of thousands of users, and is backed by leading venture capital firms.
About the Role
The company is seeking a Senior / Staff Software Engineer to own and ship entire product areas end to end. The role combines full-stack development, strong frontend and product design skills, and backend ownership. Engineers work autonomously on core product modules and help scale a rapidly growing AI platform.
Responsibilities
Build and own end-to-end products across AI agents, app builders, mobile apps, and SaaS modules such as authentication, CMS, file management, email, and commerce.
Take ownership of entire product areas, from high-level requirements to architecture, APIs, data modelling, launch, and iteration.
Work directly with founders and incorporate feedback from a large user base, including non-technical business owners.
Design simple UX/UI for business applications such as CRMs, ERPs, HR, and warehouse management systems.
Develop core SaaS capabilities, including billing, entitlements, analytics, A/B testing, feature flags, i18n, and notifications.
Use advanced AI coding tools to accelerate delivery and maximise productivity in a small, fast-moving engineering team.
Requirements
2–10 years of experience in full-stack, product, or frontend-leaning engineering.
Strong frontend skills, product sense, and backend development capabilities.
Proven ownership of complete product modules, not just isolated features or bug fixes.
At least one year at a fast-growing startup with fewer than 150 employees, ideally pre-Series C, or at a high-bar product or developer-tools company.
Clear evidence of building and shipping fast: Can point to 3–5 things they built and shipped themselves (portfolio projects, GitHub, OSS, live products)
Daily experience using AI coding tools such as Cursor or Claude Code.
Strong communication skills and ability to work independently.
Benefits
$175K–$300K salary plus competitive equity.
Significant ownership of entire product areas.
Small, high-performing team with autonomy and rapid execution.
Unlimited AI token budget, flexible PTO, full health coverage, and daily office meals.

Workplace, Culture & Diversity
Corporate culture is essential to allow the organization to differentiate itself. In terms of image on the one hand, it has strengths both internally and externally to consumers. It is indeed a source of cohesion and motivation of employees and it limits conflicts. With customers, it conveys a positive image and can develop a feeling of closeness to the company or even become a criterion of choice.
