Compensation: $201,000 Base Salary + Equity 
 
About the Role:
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience to join our early-stage team and build the AI-native system of record for CPG procurement.
 
We need a product-minded builder who takes strong ownership, thrives in ambiguity, and is excited to use AI to solve complex customer problems. You will own large swaths of the product end-to-end, from talking through a problem with the PM to shipping it to production.
 
Responsibilities:
Own features from concept through production, including scoping, building, shipping, and iterating based on learnings.
Make architectural decisions with the team that will support the next 18 months of growth.
Work directly with the PM/designer and founder to shape product direction and priorities.
Raise the bar for engineering quality through testing, observability, and code reviews while maintaining development velocity.
Talk to customers regularly to understand the problem space firsthand.
 
Required Qualifications:
5–8 years of full-stack engineering experience with a backend focus.
Experience working at VC-backed, early-stage startups (Seed to Series C).
Experience owning and shipping production code with measurable user impact.
Broad, cross-functional engineering experience with exposure to architecture and product decisions.
Daily use of AI coding tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or Claude.
 
Preferred Qualifications:
Early or founding engineer experience.
Experience at FAANG or other Big Tech companies in addition to startup experience.
