About the Role
We’re looking for a Founding Full-Stack Engineer to join an early-stage, YC-backed startup building an AI-powered no-code platform. As Engineer #1, you’ll work directly with the founders to design and ship core product features that enable non-technical users to build applications seamlessly.
This is a high-impact role where you’ll own features end-to-end, shape technical decisions, and help define engineering culture from the ground up.
What You’ll Do

- Develop core platform capabilities (storage, payments, authentication, etc.)
- Work closely with users to understand pain points and improve UX
- Enhance AI systems, including prompt engineering and evaluation workflows
- Improve system reliability and handle real-world edge cases
- Design and scale backend infrastructure to support production workloads
- Rapidly prototype, iterate, and refine based on feedback
- Collaborate directly with founders on product and technical direction
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years of full-stack engineering experience
- Strong proficiency in React, TypeScript, and Node.js
- Experience shipping production-ready features end-to-end
- Strong ownership mindset and ability to work independently
- Product-focused thinking with attention to UX and detail
- Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
Nice to Have
- Experience with AWS / backend infrastructure / scalability
- Background in AI/ML systems, LLMs, or prompt engineering
- Experience building developer tools, editors, or platform-level features
- Startup or early-stage experience
Why Join Us
- Be Engineer #1 and shape the product from day one
- Work directly with experienced founders
- Build cutting-edge AI-powered developer tools
- High ownership and rapid career growth into leadership
- Opportunity to define engineering culture and standards
