Job Title: Full-Stack Engineer (AI & Automation)
Type: Contractor / Freelancer (Remote), Opportunity to go full-time
Hourly Rate: $45-55/PH, DOE
Team Size: Small, 5-person startup team (within a larger organization)
About the Role
We’re looking for a mid-level full-stack engineer to help us build and scale our candidate-to-job matching platform. You’ll work across our stack — from the website front end to backend APIs, from AI-powered matching logic to automating personalized email campaigns.
You’ll be the junior of two engineers (working alongside a senior full-stack engineer) and collaborate closely with a part-time product lead. This is a fast-paced startup environment, so you’ll need to be comfortable moving quickly, iterating rapidly, and contributing across multiple areas of the product.
As part of the interview process, you will be asked to complete a skills-assessment.
What You’ll Do
- Build and maintain features for the website front end (20%)
- Develop backend APIs and services (30%)
- Contribute to our AI-driven matching system (30%), including integrating and tuning models via OpenAI APIs, and contributing to decision making around extending our AI tooling.
- Support email automation (15%), including segmentation, personalization, and SendGrid integration
- Integrate and optimize connections to external data sources (webhooks, APIs, internal databases)
- Collaborate with the product lead and senior engineer to ship features quickly and reliably
- Troubleshoot, test, and improve system performance
Tech Stack
- Frontend: HTML, Javascript, Bootstrap, Linux
- Backend: Python, AWS, Postgres, Linux
- Data & AI: Snowflake, OpenAI APIs, custom AI matching workflows
- Email: SendGrid
What We’re Looking For
Must-Haves:
- Proven full-stack development experience (front and back end)
- Hands-on experience with AI-powered solutions, especially for matching or recommendation systems
- Strong skills in Python, Postgres, Linux and AWS
- Experience integrating AI APIs (OpenAI or similar) into production systems
- Background working in small, fast-moving teams
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience with email automation (SendGrid or similar)
- Familiarity with job market or recruitment data
- Exposure to Snowflake or other data warehouses
- Experience with CFML - Adobe / Lucee Cold Fusion
Who You Are
- You thrive in a startup environment — comfortable with rapid iteration and wearing multiple hats
- You’re execution-focused — more of a builder and problem solver than an architect
- You’re comfortable being the junior engineer on a small technical team but confident taking ownership of your work
- You enjoy working remotely and can manage your own schedule effectively
