Description

THE ROLE

As a foundational member of our engineering team, you'll do all backend work to help ship new features for our web app.  

We have a frequent cadence of shipping new features and a close connection to our market.  With 800k monthly active users spending hundreds of thousands of hours on the platform, each contribution and feature you ship will have a meaningful impact for the users.

Since we're a startup, you'll have to be willing to get your hands dirty with (and learn) lots of technologies across the backend stack: API design, data engineering, algorithms, startup engineering, analytics, monitoring, web crawling, etc. as well as the frontend stack (it's fine to not have any frontend experience starting out).

 

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

  • 3+ years of experience with backend engineering

  • Clean simple code, even when solving complex problems

  • Good systems design

  • Ability to learn new tech quickly

  • Enjoyable to work with

TECHNOLOGY STACK

  • Python, PostgreSQL, FastAPI, Redis, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Tailwind, AWS, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Pinecone, OpenAI

 EXAMPLE PROJECTS

  • Use an LLM to identify references to other sections in the text of the law

  • Improve and migrate our data model for the content we host

  • Retrieve semi-structured data from various online sources and automate the structuring of the data

  • Improve the evaluation framework for our search engine
