Senior Full Stack Engineer

Remote
 
 
 
 

Techstars is building an operating system that centralizes how we run accelerator programs, support founders, engage the network, and drive investment decisions. As a Senior Full Stack Engineer you'll own features end to end — from the data behind them to the React UI in front of them, from design to go-live. That includes the AI-native parts of the product: search that spans the network, retrieval over founder and portfolio data, and assistive workflows that put the right context in front of the right person.

You'll also lead the wind-down of our legacy founder tools, consolidating what matters into OS and retiring the rest cleanly.

This is a small, high-trust team. We move fast, ship real things, and expect everyone to be able to hold a thread all the way through.

What you will do

  • Own features on Techstars OS end to end — design, build, test, and ship, from data ingestion and API layers through to the web app
  • Build AI-native features into the product: semantic and federated search across the network, retrieval over portfolio and founder data, and assistive workflows that surface the right context at the right moment
  • Lead the migration and shutdown of legacy founder tools — including Techstars Universe and our application management system — consolidating functionality into OS or retiring it cleanly
  • Work across our Enterprise Data Platform and OS to build the pipelines that feed real-time features, search, and AI use cases
  • Raise the floor on reliability and velocity: tests, code review, and CI/CD practices that hold up as the team grows — including how we fold AI coding tools into that loop
  • Act as a technical resource for the team — unblock others, weigh in on architecture, and keep context moving across time zones

What you bring

  • Strong TypeScript and Python, and the judgment to know when to reach for each
  • Solid React experience — you can build clean, functional UIs without a dedicated frontend team carrying you
  • Proficiency with relational databases: data modeling, migrations, and query performance under real load. We use PostgreSQL
  • Experience building data pipelines end to end — ingestion, transformation, and delivery to downstream consumers. We use event streaming, but experience with any comparable system transfers
  • Experience shipping LLM-backed features to production: retrieval, embeddings, and the evaluation loop that keeps quality honest. You understand the hard part is uncertainty, evidence, and recovery — not the API call
  • Comfortable operating containerized services in a major cloud with infrastructure defined as code. We run on GCP and AWS
  • A track record of owning features from zero to production, and of retiring old systems without breaking things downstream
  • Strong written communication and a high tolerance for autonomy — remote-first means writing well and staying aligned without being chased

Nice to have

  • Event-driven architectures and Kafka-based data platforms
  • Evaluation and observability for LLM features — you've had to answer "is this actually working?" with data
  • MCP or other tool surfaces that let agents act on production systems safely
  • Identity and auth systems (Keycloak or similar)
  • Search infrastructure (OpenSearch or similar)
  • Next.js and Material UI
  • Financial or investment data — venture capital, startup portfolio management
  • Prior work at an accelerator, investment firm, or high-growth startup

Compensation & Benefits
Salary Range: $120,000 - $150,000
Benefits: Techstars offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan, and paid time off.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

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. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

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.
