We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join Oddball Labs and serve as one of the team's senior technical contributors. This role reports to the VP of Architecture and works across a wide range of projects, technologies, and problem spaces-often early in their lifecycle and still taking shape.
The ideal candidate is a strong generalist engineer who's comfortable moving between domains, learning new tools quickly, and helping turn loosely defined ideas into working software. You'll partner closely with architects, designers, and engineers, contribute hands-on code, and help shape technical direction across exploratory and production-bound efforts, including work that leverages AI/ML and Generative AI where it adds real value.

• Design, build, and iterate on software solutions ranging from prototypes to production systems
• Collaborate closely with architects, designers, product partners, and engineers to explore new ideas and technical approaches
• Work across a variety of technologies, languages, and frameworks depending on the problem space
• Help evaluate and apply emerging technologies, including AI/ML and GenAI, where they create real value
• Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code and help establish good engineering practices within Labs
• Support architectural decisions and provide technical guidance to less senior engineers when needed
• Contribute to technical discovery, experimentation, and rapid learning across the team

What you'll bring:

• Strong general software engineering experience with the ability to work across different tech stacks
• Comfort operating in ambiguous problem spaces with evolving requirements
• Experience designing and building modern applications, services, or platforms
• Familiarity with cloud-based systems and modern development workflows
• Experience developing or integrating generative AI applications
• Ability to quickly learn new technologies and apply them thoughtfully
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, especially in cross-functional environments
• A pragmatic mindset-knowing when to prototype quickly and when to engineer for scale
• Strong grounding in security, privacy, and accessibility principles, particularly when handling sensitive or regulated data
• Performs other related duties as assigned

Bonus if you have:

• Experience working in innovation, R&D, labs, or exploratory engineering teams
• Deeper experience in one or more areas (e.g., frontend, backend, data, ML, DevOps) alongside strong generalist skills
• Experience contributing to architectural discussions or technical strategy
