About the company
Our client is a fast-growing software company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Work as a generalist engineer across the full stack, delivering features from backend services through to the user interface.

What you'll do
- Ship features end to end, from backend and infrastructure services to the frontend user experience.
- Stay in regular contact with users, learn what they need and fold those insights into rapid product updates.
- Build and refine AI-powered components using large language models.
- Offer input that influences the direction of the product.
- Take ownership of problems across the whole stack with minimal supervision.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- 1 to 4 years of engineering experience.
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript and React.
- Backend experience, not solely frontend work.
- Experience at an early-stage startup, ideally through a period of growth; big tech candidates considered if they show clear startup intent and a drive to build from zero to one.
- Demonstrated interest in AI and large language models through work or personal projects.
- A computer science degree or equivalent technical background with solid fundamentals.
- High agency and the ability to ramp up within a month with little hand-holding.
- Willingness to work in person five days a week; relocation is fine.
- Existing work authorization is required; transfers are accepted.

- Background as an early engineer or founder at a startup.
- Infrastructure, DevOps or SRE experience.
- Experience with browser automation, developer tools or QA.
- Degree from a top computer science program.
