Who is Recruiting from Scratch:

Recruiting from Scratch is a talent firm that focuses on placing the best candidate for our clients. Our team is 100% remote and we work with teams across the North America, South America, and Europe to help them hire.

Our client is dedicated to speeding up the pace of innovation at manufacturing companies, by automating the identification of regulations for any product. They are seed round.

Their Mission

They are building an AI/LLM platform to accelerate product development at manufacturing companies. They do that by creating NLP pipelines that identify all regulations that are relevant to any product in development, such as an electric battery or the latest level-4 autonomous driving system. As engineers, reading complex legal and regulatory documents are often the last things we want to do. What we’re building means that teams will never have to pore over 1000-page PDFs via Google Translate ever again, and can instead focus entirely on building the best systems that the world needs today.

In short, what you build with us will directly lead to companies launching physical products months faster than before.

Our Culture

Our mission starts with us. To build a transformation product, we need to feel supported, intellectually challenged, and above all surrounded by kind, team-oriented colleagues.

• Our mental and physical health comes first. We encourage our team to take time off when needed, and trust that we will too.
• We value ownership, creativity, camaraderie, vulnerability, and transparency. We celebrate wins and face challenges head-on.
• Diversity, equity, and inclusion is at our core. We’re committed to hiring and retaining talent from underrepresented folks in tech and outside of tech.

Overview of Role

We are seeking an experienced Founding Fullstack Engineer to drive the development of our platforms.

The ideal candidate has strong experience building and launching full-stack products in a startup environment. You are ready to work with new technologies and learn whatever is needed to solve the challenges we will face. You will have complete, end-to-end ownership of the enterprise-facing launch of the product and will code the product yourself, while working with a team of engineers. If you aspire to be an entrepreneur or an engineering leader, this role is for you.

We are based out of NYC, in-person, with flexibility for remote work at times. If you are not currently in NYC, we would ask you to plan to move to the city in the next few months.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate closely with founding team members to translate product strategy into iterative, scalable product versions that can be rapidly deployed for user testing
• Lead the team in selecting the appropriate technology stack, framework, and tools to enable experimentation and tracking
• Own the architecture and development of the working product and beyond
• Strategize and articulate tradeoffs between speed and scalability

Qualifications

• Bachelors or Masters in Computer Science, Engineering, or other related field
• 4 years of professional development experience
• A highly product-oriented approach and eagerness to solve technical problems while prioritizing both user experience and platform scalability
• Comfortable working in a dynamic environment with evolving objectives and fast iteration with users
• Strong, well-rounded technical skillset with experience managing the end-to-end development of a new product in a fast-growth organization—from database design to query optimization to component management
• Expertise in programming languages (e.g., Python, TypeScript, JavaScript) as well as experience with Docker and AWS
• Excellent communication skills and low ego
• US work authorization is required; we do not currently support visa transfers

Nice to haves

• Experience with AWS Amplify, GraphQL, OpenSearch
• Experience and/or interest in security (e.g., OWASP, NIST, SSO configuration)
• Interest in Generative AI/LLMs—will work closely with our Machine Learning engineers to deliver AI-powered user workflows

Compensation

• $120,000-$150,000
• Competitive equity
• Healthcare coverage
