Job Summary
 
We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer who thrives at the intersection of craft and scale. You'll design and deliver large-scale, multi-tenant cloud services — with a relentless focus on availability, fault-tolerance, and elegant architecture. You'll set the bar for engineering quality and help elevate those around you.

Responsibilities

    • Core Engineering & Ownership: Build and own scalable SaaS applications end-to-end — frontend, backend, and data layers. Write production-grade code that is reliable, readable, efficient, and testable. Raise the bar through thoughtful code reviews and comprehensive documentation.

    • System Architecture: Design future-ready architectures and proactively close gaps before they become problems.

    • Performance & Reliability: Drive system availability and performance — investigate, analyze, and resolve reliability issues across the stack. Recognize opportunities and advocate for better performance and efficiency of software, systems, and processes across teams.

    • Shift Left Testing & Quality: You champion a rigorous 'shift-left' quality culture, embedding comprehensive testing—unit, integration, and contract—early and continuously in the development lifecycle, not as an afterthought.

    • AI Integration: Leverage and advocate for AI-assisted tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude) to accelerate development while maintaining rigorous engineering judgment and accountability for code correctness.

    • Leadership: Drive team-wide best practices, conduct quality code reviews, and mentor engineers to elevate overall engineering quality.

    • Collaboration (Product & Design): Partner with Product and Design to translate requirements into intuitive UI, making informed technical trade-offs in the face of ambiguity.

    • Collaboration (Engineering Standards): Champion engineering best practices across teams and collaborate on solving complex, high-impact problems.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience.

  • 5+ years building reliable, performant applications and microservices in production environments. Proven full stack fluency - you're comfortable across frontend, backend, and the database layer. 

  • A polyglot mindset — you evolve with the tech. Familiarity with Ruby on Rails, TypeScript, Node.js, or React.js is a strong plus.

  • Proven full-stack experience across frontend (React.js), backend, and database layers.

  • Technical depth in at least one engineering domain: distributed systems, multi-tenant SaaS, application databases, networking, security, serverless, event streaming, or similar.

  • A genuine drive to build beautiful, intuitive products with the customer always in focus. Innate curiosity — you love learning and have a desire to teach and lift others. Strong communication skills and openness to collaborative idea-sharing across teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Core Stack Experience: Familiarity with Ruby (including Ruby on Rails), TypeScript, Node.js, or React.js is a strong plus.

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
