Software engineer, fullstack

📐 About this role

We are seeking a talented Full-stack engineer to join our dynamic and growing team at Writer. As a key member of our engineering team, you will play a crucial role in building the future of AI-assisted software development. Your primary focus will be on developing a cutting-edge low-code/no-code platform that leverages generative AI to create frontends, workflows, and backends from natural language prompts. By designing and building core components, defining and enforcing best practices, and integrating advanced AI features, you will directly impact the efficiency and effectiveness of our platform, enabling users to create sophisticated applications with minimal coding effort. Additionally, your contributions to collaboration features such as commenting, notifications, and real-time updates will enhance the social and interactive aspects of our platform, fostering a more connected and productive user community.

🦸🏻‍♀️ Your Responsibilities

• Design and build core components: Develop and maintain the core components of our low-code UI builder and no-code workflow builder using Python and Vue.
• Define and enforce standards: Establish and enforce backend engineering standards, including typing, linting, testing, and code organization.
• Integrate AI tooling: Integrate and maintain AI-powered agent tooling to support prompt-based UI and backend generation.
• Backend services and APIs: Develop robust backend services and RESTful APIs using Python (FastAPI).
• Frontend development: Create intuitive and user-friendly frontend interfaces using JavaScript/TypeScript (React or similar frameworks).
• Scalable infrastructure: Integrate AI services with scalable cloud infrastructure (e.g., GCP, AWS, Azure) and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, etc.).
• Collaborate on dev tooling: Work closely with the infrastructure and dev tooling teams to enhance our internal developer experience and CI/CD pipelines.
• Monitor and optimize: Ensure the monitoring, observability, and performance of deployed AI features using tools like Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, or DataDog.
• Best practices advocacy: Promote software engineering best practices and actively participate in architectural decisions.
• Collaboration features: Collaborate with the design and product teams to deliver social collaboration features such as commenting, notifications, and real-time updates.
• Holistic solutions: Contribute to both backend and frontend codebases, delivering comprehensive and integrated solutions.
• Third-party integrations: Integrate third-party APIs, AI providers, and logging/observability tools as required.

⭐️ Is This You?

• 5+ years of experience in full-stack software engineering.
• Expert-level knowledge of Python, particularly in building production systems (mypy, typing, tests, etc.).
• Experience with Vue.js and TypeScript, or a willingness to quickly learn Vue if coming from React.
• Strong understanding of web performance, frontend testing, and browser architecture.
• Experience integrating REST APIs and OAuth, with a preference for AI service integration.
• Familiarity with CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code (basic YAML is a plus), and developer tooling.
• Proven ability to help teams adopt technical best practices.

✨ Preferred Skills and Experience

• Strong enforcement of Python best practices.
• Deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure and services.
• Experience with ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face Transformers).
• Familiarity with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS).
• Experience with RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), LLMOps, or LangChain/LlamaIndex.
• Proficiency with Infra-as-Code tools like Terraform.
• Understanding of data pipelines, Kafka, or Airflow.
