Full Stack Engineer

Location: AMER - Remote

Department: Product Engineering

The Position

Were assembling a small founding team to build something genuinely hard: high-throughput services that inspect live traffic, terminate and analyze TLS in the data path, and hold near-zero latency while doing it. This is real systems engineering — streaming, distributed, latency-obsessed — not another CRUD app behind a form. 

You wont be starting cold. You inherit real infrastructure and real users, which means what you build reaches production in weeks, not years. The work is high-leverage from day one, and theres nowhere to hide — in the best way. 

AI-native. Non-negotiable. You leverage AI to operate as a 10x engineer — demonstrable AI proficiency is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have. 

What Youll Own

You take a capability from a rough idea all the way to production, and then you keep it alive and healthy there — meeting its latency and reliability targets, instrumented well enough to prove it, and hardened to survive real load and real failure. You own the outcome, not the ticket. Youll lead a functional area end to end: set its technical direction, make the calls that matter, and pull other engineers along with you. 

Who You Are 

• You see what needs to exist and you go build it — you spot the gap, scope it yourself, and start, instead of waiting for someone to hand you a task or a spec. 
• You lead by taking the hardest, least-defined part of the problem and making it work, and others follow because your judgment and output earn it — not because of a title. 
• You own the entire arc — design, build, ship, operate — and you treat what happens in production as your responsibility, making sure the system behaves exactly within the parameters its supposed to, not just that it passed in staging. 
• When you hit the edge of what you know — a protocol youve never touched, a failure mode youve never seen — curiosity and sheer grit carry you across it faster than most people expect. 
• Good enough makes you uncomfortable; you hold a high bar for yourself and ship work youre genuinely proud to put your name on. 

What You Bring

• Proven, demonstrable proficiency using AI as a force multiplier — you already operate as a 10x engineer, orchestrating AI tools and agents to design, build, and ship far beyond what you could alone, while keeping the judgment to know what correct actually looks like. 
• 5–7+ years building and operating production services and front ends, with real experience owning something end to end and carrying the weight of it once its in front of real users. 
• Hands-on experience with TLS / MITM inspection and the security-sensitive edge cases that come with sitting in the middle of live traffic. 
• A real track record of taming latency in streaming and distributed systems — youve chased down p99 tail latency and know that fast on my machine means nothing until its fast in production, under load, with observability to back it up. 
• Strong command of a modern backend language (Go, Rust, or TypeScript/Node) and React/TypeScript on the front end, with a deep working grasp of HTTP, TLS, gRPC/REST, and async/streaming I/O.
