About the role

Location: Fully Remote
Compensation: $25 to $30 USD/hour
Benefits: 15 days PTO. Christmas Day and New Year's Day paid off.
Fair warning: the pace is intense and the ambiguity is real. But you'll feel yourself growing every single week, even the rough ones, and you'll be doing it next to people who actually celebrate your wins and have your back.

We're the all-in-one agentic marketing platform. AI-native from day one. We're not joining a category, we're defining it.
We're looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to own features end-to-end, from database schema to shipped UI, across the products our customers rely on every day. If you want real ownership, move fast, and raise the bar every week, keep reading. If your best work happens when tickets are fully scoped before they reach you, this will be a tough adjustment.

What you'll own

Ship backend and frontend features end-to-end across Atlas Brain, OTTO, Content Genius, Site Explorer, Rank Tracker, and GBP Galactic

Design and maintain Django APIs and React/Next.js UIs that hold up under real production load

Instrument your own work, observability, error tracking, performance baselines, before anything hits production

Push back on specs that don't hold up and propose stronger approaches before a line of code is written

Diagnose production incidents end-to-end and own them through to resolution

Operate at high throughput alongside agentic tooling, using Claude Code and parallel Git worktrees as a primary development interface

You'll thrive here if...

You're equally comfortable in the database, the API layer, and the React component tree

You treat a product spec as a hypothesis to pressure-test, not an instruction to execute

You don't wait to be told what to do. You see the gap and you move.

Deadlines don't rattle you. Ambiguity doesn't either.

You're an AI power user, not someone who's "open to learning it someday."

You communicate clearly, especially when things are unclear.

You have opinions and you're not afraid to bring them.

You can laugh at a chaotic week on Friday and mean it.

What we're looking for

5+ years shipping production web applications across the full stack

Strong Python 3, Django REST Framework, and Celery

Strong React, Next.js, and TypeScript

PostgreSQL in production, no MySQL

Daily fluency with Claude Code, Cursor, or similar agentic development tools. Not "open to it." Actually using it.

Experience with Sentry and the Grafana Stack, Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir, for observability and monitoring

Docker Compose for local development, GitLab or equivalent for CI/CD

Available in EST or GMT+1

What working here actually looks like
High expectations. Real ownership. Things change fast and we don't apologize for it. You'll work with smart people who push you, a product that keeps getting better, and a team that's genuinely building something new.
You'll sit in a pod: one PM, one designer, two or three engineers. One senior engineer with Claude Code and parallel Git worktrees is expected to deliver what used to take a whole team. That's not a figure of speech.
We'll probably give you more to own than you expected. That's on purpose.
We use AI every day, across every function. That's just how we work.

What we stand for

We are obsessed with our customers, and making them obsessed with us

We figure it the f**k out

We go to war on our problems quickly

We are strategic. We work smart, not just hard.

We're fun AF
