We're a fast-moving startup looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer to build the products our business runs on. You'll design, build, and ship applications end to end (frontend, backend, data, and deploy), keeping them fast, reliable, and genuinely useful as we grow.

If you like shipping full-stack products end to end, building with AI tooling as a core part of how you work, and turning rough ideas into things that just work, we'd love to talk.

What You'll Do

• Build features end to end: React/TypeScript on the front, Node/Express on the back, PostgreSQL underneath
• Ship to GCP (Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, and the rest of the stack) and keep an eye on what it costs
• Build and integrate AI features: Anthropic SDK, prompt engineering, multi-agent systems, RAG
• Craft frontends and UI that are clean, thoughtful, and genuinely nice to use: interfaces with taste, not just working components
• Use Claude Code daily to move fast without shipping AI Slop
• Partner with the team on application architecture, deployment workflows, and production reliability
• Push back on over-engineering. Keep things simple and shippable

What We're Looking For

• Strong hands-on experience building and shipping full-stack web apps
• Solid React + TypeScript and Node/Express
• Real PostgreSQL: schema design, queries, the parts that matter
• Hands-on GCP experience (Cloud Run, Cloud SQL); other clouds fine if you'll pick up GCP fast
• Experience building applications that scale. You think about performance and reliability as usage grows, not after it breaks
• Mobile development is a plus but not required. Nice if you can extend products to mobile when it matters
• Fluent with Claude Code. You use it as a primary development tool, understand agent workflows, and can set it up for a team, not just autocomplete
• A real eye for design. You care about how things look and feel, and can turn a rough idea into a clean, interesting interface
• Good judgment about when AI output is right and when it's confidently wrong
• Clear communication; you can explain technical tradeoffs to people who don't live in the codebase
• Based in the Chicago area. We prefer working in-office (we've got a collaborative environment and the work moves faster in person) but we're flexible on remote days when you need them

Nice to Have

• Production experience integrating LLM APIs (Anthropic SDK especially)
• Multi-agent or tool-use system design
• Familiarity with GCP infrastructure, CI/CD, and cost optimization
• Background in a startup or small team where you wore multiple hats
• Experience mentoring or leading small teams

Pay: $75,000.00 - $100,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• Dental insurance
• Flexible spending account
• Health insurance
• Health savings account
• Vision insurance

Work Location: In person
