About the role
We're looking for a software engineer who understands the user's problem, architects a solution, and ships it. Your work lives in production, not in a design doc. At this stage, every IC engineer at Range can operate as a 10x IC. There is very little stopping you from building. You'll use AI workflows to move faster alongside the team and customers, bringing the best solutions to life.
Responsibilities
- Define how engineering operates here by figuring out what's actually possible when a great engineer leans all the way into AI.
- Use AI workflows to move faster alongside the team and customers, bringing the best solutions to life.
- Ship fast, learn, iterate.
Requirements
- Deep expertise across multiple languages (TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, etc) and paradigms, with strong opinions loosely held on technology choices.
- Extensive experience architecting and evolving production systems on AWS or similar cloud platforms, with a focus on reliability, cost efficiency, and operational excellence.
- Proven ability to work across the entire stack and make strategic decisions about where to invest engineering effort.
- Track record of leading cross-team technical initiatives that materially impact the business.
- Ability to set technical vision and strategy beyond a single team — influencing roadmaps, platform direction, and organizational engineering practices.
- Ability to navigate organizational complexity, build consensus across engineering and business leadership, and drive alignment on high-stakes technical decisions.
- Ability to architect, debug, and ship using AI development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) — not just prompting, but knowing when the output is wrong, why, and how to fix it.
Qualifications
- Strong mentorship track record — you've meaningfully grown the careers of other engineers.
Skills
- Full-stack by instinct. Frontend, backend, infrastructure. You go wherever the problem is.
- React, TypeScript, Node, AWS are your tools, not your identity. You pick up whatever's needed.
- Care about outcomes. Every endpoint, every interaction, every system is built around how your customers will actually experience the product.
Benefits
- Health & Wellness: 100% employer-covered medical insurance for employees (75% for dependents), plus dental and vision coverage.
- 401(k): Retirement savings program to support your future.
- Paid Time Off: time to reset and recharge + most federal holidays.
- Parental Leave: Comprehensive leave policy for growing families.
- Meals: Select meals covered throughout the week.
- Fitness: Monthly movement stipend.
- Equity & Career Growth: Early exercise eligibility and a strong focus on professional development.
- Annual Compensation Reviews: Salary and equity refreshes based on performance.
- Boomerang Program: After two years at Range, you can take time away to start your own company. We’ll hold your spot for 6 months - and pause your equity vesting, which resumes if you return.
