Senior Full-Stack Engineer, Frontend Focus (Wandy)

About the role

Wand is building a high-performing global team that takes full ownership of what they build. We lead by example, move fast, make data-aware decisions, and continuously push for more, always with a focus on delivering real value to customers. You would be joining a world-class team that combines deep research expertise and real-world product execution, with experience spanning Deepmind, Google, Amazon, Miro, Elise AI, IBM, and Accern.

Wandy is a brand new, greenfield product inside Wand. The team is small, with a high technical bar, and a fully AI-driven SDLC. Every engineer on the team is full-stack, but the team has zero dedicated front-end depth right now, and that's the single biggest gap we need to close.

Responsibilities

• Own the front-end architecture end to end for a greenfield product: assess what's been built so far, decide what to keep and what to rethink, then build it.
• Design and build the UI for a customer-facing product, bringing real product and UX sense, not just technical execution.
• Build and maintain the front-end (we lean TypeScript, but we care far more about your track record than an exact stack match).
• Contribute to the backend as needed: understand databases, data structures, and overall system design well enough to build and reason about APIs (Node.js or Go, technology agnostic).
• Take true end-to-end ownership: propose the approach, defend it, then build it, without waiting for someone else to set the direction.
• Build inside a fully AI-driven workflow, using tools like Claude Code as a core part of how you ship, not an occasional assist.
• Operate comfortably in a small, fast-moving, ambiguous environment where priorities shift and you're often defining the "how," not just executing a pre-set plan.

Requirements

• Strong front-end fundamentals: you know the basics cold and can make real architectural calls, not just implement someone else's design.
• Real product and UX sense: good taste, ideally built for real end users on a genuine customer-facing product, not only internal or B2B tools.
• Comfortable across the stack: solid grasp of backend fundamentals (databases, data structures, general system design), even with front-end as your focus.
• Technology agnostic: you've worked across multiple stacks before and can pick up whatever this team needs. We care about your track record more than your specific stack.
• Genuine ownership: a history of starting things from zero, not just delivering on initiatives someone else already scoped.
• Startup experience, ideally somewhere genuinely chaotic: comfortable with shifting priorities and ambiguous ownership.
• Heavy, real fluency with AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code): you build with AI as a core part of your workflow, not an occasional assist.

Preferred Experience

• Experience at a startup where you had to build something from scratch with little existing structure to lean on.
• Backend build experience (e.g. Node.js or similar), even if it's not your primary focus.
• Comfortable on a small, high-caliber team with little process, ready to make architectural calls without a lot of hand-holding.
