About the role

We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to help build the AI-driven products at the core of our platform. You'll work directly with our proprietary dataset — real-time, anonymized cross-brand transaction data — to build the services, agents, and tools that power Conversion Intelligence.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and document backend services and APIs that power our AI-driven products
  • Develop end-to-end features across AI agent interfaces, orchestration layers, and developer-facing tools
  • Query, model, and manage relational databases — own the data layer, not just consume it
  • Build and scale the systems that turn cross-brand transaction data into product
  • Ship responsive, clean UIs in TypeScript and React where the product needs them
  • Own projects from architecture to deployment in an agile, high-velocity environment
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to ship high-impact features quickly
  • Stay current on modern AI development practices and tooling

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of professional software development experience
  • Strong backend proficiency in TypeScript, with solid working knowledge of SQL and relational database design
  • Demonstrated experience building or integrating AI-powered applications — agents, orchestration, or LLM-backed systems
  • Proven track record in startup environments — you've shipped fast and worn multiple hats
  • Comfortable owning projects independently in high-velocity environments
  • Working proficiency in React and the ability to build production UIs when the work calls for it
  • Daily use of AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, etc.) — this is a requirement, not a nice-to-have
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field

Nice to Have

  • Proficiency in Python
  • Experience with AI agent frameworks, orchestration tools, or embeddings
  • Background in data engineering (ETL, dbt, Airflow, etc.)
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Experience writing production-grade CSS/SCSS

Benefits & Perks

  • Competitive base salary and meaningful equity
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • HSA and FSA options
  • 401(k)
  • 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Summer Fridays from July 4th through Labor Day
  • Mental health and wellness support through Talkspace, Health Advocate, and One Medical
  • Commuter benefits
  • $1,000 annual learning & development stipend
  • Quarterly team events, both in and out of the office
