Job Summary

We’re looking for a Senior Fullstack Engineer with a backend focus to join our growing team and help power the systems behind our AI-driven learning platform. This role will work closely with product, frontend, and AI teams to build and maintain scalable APIs, services, and data pipelines that support real-time simulations, insights, and reporting.

You’ll play a critical role in designing and delivering backend infrastructure that enables seamless user experiences and performance across the platform. While the role leans heavily backend, familiarity and comfort with modern frontend frameworks is important for collaborating across the stack.

  • Design, build, and maintain performant, scalable APIs and backend services using modern frameworks and tools.
  • Work with Postgres and other data stores to model, manage, and optimize application data.
  • Implement integrations with modern platforms and third-party services (e.g. Paragon, Tray.io, etc.)
  • Implement authentication, authorization, and integrations with third-party services (e.g., WorkOS, etc.)

Data Engineering & Infrastructure:

  • Build and maintain data pipelines that power user analytics, insights, and reporting.
  • Work with the product and AI teams to define, structure, and store data used in simulations and feedback loops.
  • Contribute to infrastructure automation and deployment workflows (CI/CD, monitoring, observability).

Collaboration & Product Development:

  • Collaborate closely with other engineers and product team to ensure smooth end-to-end functionality.
  • Participate in technical planning, architecture discussions, and code reviews.
  • Help define and enforce backend engineering best practices and documentation standards.

Testing & Quality Assurance:

  • Implement and maintain unit and integration tests to ensure consistent quality and reliability of code.
  • Troubleshoot and debug issues, and proactively work on solutions to enhance user experience and performance.

Continuous Improvement & Innovation:

  • Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in frontend development.
  • Drive continuous improvement by suggesting new ideas, tools, and processes that will elevate the frontend experience and overall product quality.
  • Utilize AI tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and more to enhance code quality, build prototypes and accelerate development.

Qualifications

Experience:

  • 5+ years of experience as a backend or fullstack engineer, building production systems and APIs.
  • Experience working in modern TypeScript environments (Node.js, Express/NestJS).
  • Strong familiarity with relational databases (Postgres preferred), ORMs, and query optimization.
  • Comfort working with modern frontend frameworks (React/Next.js) as needed.

Technical Skills:

  • Proficiency in designing RESTful APIs
  • Experience building and deploying services in cloud environments (AWS)
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), and infrastructure-as-code tools
  • Data pipeline or analytics tooling experience is a plus.

Soft Skills:

  • Strong problem-solving skills and a detail-oriented approach to writing high-quality code.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
  • A proactive mindset with a passion for continuous learning and improvement.
  • A creative and experimental mindset with a proven history of using new technologies and techniques to enhance processes and improve quality.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with TypeScript across the stack.
  • Familiarity with AI-powered or simulation-based applications.
  • Exposure to tools like WorkOS, Paragon, and GitHub Actions.
  • Experience working in an early-stage SaaS startup or fast-paced product team.

Why Join Us?

  • Opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies and influence the technical direction of the company.
  • Collaborative and inclusive work environment.
  • Competitive salary, benefits, and career growth opportunities.

Compensation: $120,000-$150,000, based on experience and qualifications

We Face Fear Together

Our days are filled with doubt and fear. We are doing big, scary things on the cutting edge of technology – we should be scared! We value fear for being a great equalizer and know it puts us in the position to support one another. We also know change begins with the right action in the face of fear. Just like a diamond in the rough, we know there is opportunity on the other side. Fear is not a barrier. It is a motivator for action. We’re not afraid to fail — we’re afraid of not trying.

Luster is an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
