On-siteEngineering$150k–$200k/yrFull-time

The Role

We're looking for product minded Full Stack Engineers with high potential who want to take their craft to the next level. We’re a small talented senior team who can do more with less, and are looking for folks who want to build key portions of our product offering alongside us. You’ll have the opportunity to actively influence product direction, and contribute meaningfully to all aspects of our engineering culture while learning from highly experienced engineer mentors.

You’ll work within our Core Engineering team to develop and expand our product suite, from our Enterprise grade Automat Studio, to our state of the art Agentic Workflow Builder and beyond. You’ll build interfaces which leverage cutting-edge computer use models to automate and accelerate real world Enterprise workflows across finance, banking, healthcare, e-commerce, and more.

You’ll collaborate with our Forward Deployed Team to understand how customers interact with Automat’s platform today, and use those learnings to bolster our Agentic Workflow Builder and Developer Toolkit. You’ll develop beautiful and intuitive UX interfaces which abstract away complex business automation processes and create a seamless experience for non-technical users and engineers alike.

You’ll develop robust, enterprise grade back-end infrastructure and services to power our Fortune 500 customers' workflows at scale. You’ll influence our engineering practices, shape product direction, and contribute to building a world class company culture.

What Drives You

  • Curiosity and momentum — you love learning quickly, trying new tools, and improving your craft week over week.
  • You're excited about the AI age and want to be at its forefront.
  • Building with others — you thrive on fast feedback loops, pairing, and collaborating with designers/PMs/engineers to ship real user value.
  • Excitement about AI-assisted development — you use AI tools to move faster, but you verify outputs, write tests, and check edge cases.
  • Making complex things feel simple — you care deeply about polish, clarity, and turning messy workflows into delightful user experiences.

What’s In Your Toolbox

  • Fullstack fundamentals — you’ve shipped production features across frontend + backend, and you understand APIs, databases, auth, and deployment.
  • Strong product/engineering judgment — you know when to ship a scrappy v0, and when to slow down to fix a bug properly or refactor a hotspot.
  • Modern web stack experience — comfortable with tools like Next.js, and eager to learn/ship with platforms like Supabase and Vercel.
  • AI as a multiplier — you can leverage tools like Cursor/Windsurf/Claude to scaffold, debug, and iterate, while relying on good engineering habits (reviews, tests, logs, monitoring) to keep quality high.

Clear Communication

  • You ask good questions, share progress early, and handle feedback well.

Comfort with Ambiguity (with Support)

  • You can take a loosely defined problem, propose a plan, and iterate toward a solution.

Hands-on Experience with AI Coding Tools (Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, etc.)

  • You have a habit of validating results.

Strong UX Instincts

  • You care about speed, clarity, and making things intuitive.

High Initiative

  • You don’t wait to be told what to do; you find the next useful step and take it.

Ownership Mindset

  • You leave code cleaner than you found it and follow issues through to completion.

Startup Curiosity

  • You're excited by fast-paced environments, learning by doing, and shipping frequently.
