Software Engineer

Software Engineer – Stealth AI Start-Up – Remote (US / Canada)

I’m supporting a well-funded, fast-growing AI start-up that’s reinventing how developers build software. The team began by modernising a core developer workflow and has since expanded it into a next-generation platform for agentic development, enabling engineers to collaborate with intelligent systems that can understand context, generate code, and help debug and deploy production software.

Backed by investors and angels behind companies like Airbnb, Stripe, Salesforce, and OpenAI, this is one of the most exciting teams operating in the AI tooling space today – building foundational technology at the intersection of AI, productivity, and high-performance engineering.

What You’ll Do

• Build features across the full stack: design, development, testing, and deployment
• Improve performance, reliability, and the end-to-end developer experience
• Partner closely with engineering, product, growth, and marketing teams
• Prototype new ideas and iterate quickly based on real user feedback
• Mentor teammates and help shape a strong, high-quality engineering culture

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, ideally with exposure to developer tools, distributed systems, or high-performance applications
• A strong academic foundation – typically demonstrated through excellent performance in a rigorous CS or engineering program
• Great fit for someone coming from Big Tech who wants more ownership, autonomy, and direct product impact
• Experience with compiled or systems-level languages (e.g., Rust, Go, C++, or similar) is a plus, but not required
• Additional bonus experience with:
• Linux / shell development
• Backend systems
• GPU, graphics, or performance-oriented programming

You’re a Great Fit If You…

• Love building tools that improve developer workflows and productivity
• Have strong engineering fundamentals and a user-focused mindset
• Communicate clearly and collaborate well across teams
• Care deeply about usability, performance, and creating polished developer experiences
