The Lead Full Stack Engineer will develop and integrate application features, collaborate with teams on problem-solving, and enhance data visualization capabilities.
We're hiring a Lead Full Stack Engineer to work with the Recast application engineering team for our marketing mix modeling platform.
What you might do in your first 6 months:
- Build, test, troubleshoot, and integrate front-end elements into our application using Ruby on Rails, modern javascript frameworks and vanilla js, and styling with CSS and frameworks like Tailwind
- Help us develop new features and functionality to allow our customers to better serve the information they need when they need it.
- Add self-serve reporting and data visualization features so that our clients can dig in and build their own reports
- Lots of interacting with your colleagues to overcome challenging and new problems to solve. We work very collaboratively and need colleagues who aren’t afraid to jump in and help in whatever way they can!
Things you have experience in:
- Full-Stack web-development experience with Ruby on Rails or other similar web frameworks (Django / Flask / MVC)
- Front-End experience with JS frameworks and libraries such as React, Vue, Svelte, etc.
- Styling for the web using either plain CSS or libraries like SASS, LESS, Tailwind, etc.
- You have decent design-sense and can take an app from idea to MVP quickly and independently
- Working with javascript plotting libraries like D3, cube.js, or plotly
- Experience working with other engineers on your team to teach them using different techniques - pairing, mobbing, reviews, etc.
- Working directly with a product team to ensure that the vision and the technical execution needs match up.
- Estimating both how difficult technical projects will be, and also how long they may take given different inputs.
- Working at a fast-paced SaaS startup
Things that should excite you that might scare off other folks:
- Working directly with data scientists to productionize their code
- Taking ideas that might start out vague to some, and helping to turn them into concrete implementations collaboratively with colleagues both inside and outside Engineering
- Working with lots of complex data structures and pushing-the-limits visualizations
- Teaching others on your team and learning just as much from them - we are all student-teachers
- Building tools that interface with JAX & other ML-like libraries
*Please note salary ranges are estimated for US-based employees. Candidates from other geographies may have the salary range adjusted based on their local markets.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
