Role Overview
TITLES is looking for a Full Stack Engineer (backend-focused) to help architect, build, and maintain dynamic web-based creative tooling experiences. The role involves owning and evolving a new, extensible codebase, building core platform services, designing scalable APIs, shaping data infrastructure, and contributing across the stack when needed.
You will work in a fast-paced startup environment, collaborating closely with product, design, and data teams to deliver features end-to-end. The role emphasizes experimentation, especially with AI-assisted coding tools, agents, and automation, to significantly increase engineering velocity. This position is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, values ownership, and enjoys iterating quickly on complex problems.
