Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack / Product Engineering)

Location: San Francisco, NYC, Austin, or Remote (North America)
Company Stage: Early-Stage (AI-Native / ERP & Commerce Infrastructure)
Office Type: Hybrid / Remote-Friendly
Salary: Competitive Base + Equity

This early-stage company is reinventing the ERP stack for modern ecommerce businesses by building an AI-native operating system embedded directly into commerce platforms. Their product unifies inventory, operations, and financial workflows into a single system of record, replacing fragmented spreadsheets and disconnected tools. The platform is evolving toward agent-driven workflows that assist operators and accountants in real time, combining APIs, data infrastructure, and intelligent automation into one cohesive system.

What You Will Do

• Build and evolve core systems of record, including inventory ledgers, operational workflows, and financial subledgers
• Design and develop APIs and platform interfaces used by internal systems, partners, and agent workflows
• Embed AI-driven functionality into product workflows to improve operational efficiency and decision-making
• Work directly with customers to understand real-world workflows and translate them into scalable systems
• Prototype quickly and iterate toward production-grade systems
• Own product initiatives end-to-end across backend, data, APIs, and frontend surfaces
• Ensure systems are reliable, observable, and scalable under real-world operational demands
• Drive technical decisions and contribute to overall product direction

Ideal Background

• 6+ years of experience building and shipping production software
• Strong experience owning systems from early design through production
• Full-stack capabilities with strength across backend systems, APIs, and data modeling
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript (preferred)
• Experience working in fast-paced, high-ownership environments
• Strong product mindset — focused on delivering real user value, not just technical correctness
• Comfort working across ambiguous problem spaces and evolving requirements
• Ability to engage directly with customers and translate workflows into technical systems

Preferred

• Experience with APIs, platform design, or developer-facing systems
• Background in ERP, fintech, supply chain, or data-heavy operational systems
• Experience building transactional systems or ledger-based architectures
• Exposure to AI-assisted features, agent workflows, or MCP layers
• Familiarity with modern stack tools such as Next.js, NestJS, Prisma, GCP, Python, Terraform, or GraphQL
• Experience using AI tools (e.g., coding assistants) as part of development workflow

Compensation and Benefits

• Competitive base salary + meaningful equity
• Flexible PTO and strong healthcare benefits
• High-autonomy, builder-focused culture with direct impact on product direction
• Opportunity to work closely with customers and operators in real-time
• Hybrid / remote-first collaboration with optional in-person hubs (SF, NYC, Austin)
• Fast-moving team with strong emphasis on shipping, ownership, and real-world impact

This role is ideal for a product-minded engineer who wants to own systems end-to-end, work closely with customers, and build AI-native infrastructure that powers real business operations.

Salary Range: $190,000-$230,000 base.
