Software Engineer

Now Hiring: Software Builder – San Francisco (In-Person | Full-Time)

Full-Time | Mid–Senior Level | Immediate On-Site Start Required

Location: San Francisco, CA (On-Site Only)

Work Model: In person, 3–5 days per week (preferably 5)

Employment Type: Full-Time

About the Opportunity

Talent Depot is hiring on behalf of a fast-growing AI platform startup, seeking exceptional engineers ready to build from the ground up. You’ll work across the stack in a high-impact, low-ego team environment, contributing to product development, infrastructure, and customer solutions in real time.

If you're energized by rapid iteration, shipping clean production code, and working closely with users, this is your chance to join a highly selective, product-minded engineering team.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain full-stack features using TypeScript, Node.js, React, SQL, and AWS
  

• Ship iteratively while upholding strong code quality standards
  

• Collaborate directly with users to improve the product experience
  

• Work closely with the team on-site in San Francisco (3–5 days/week)
  

• Contribute across engineering, product, and infrastructure as needed
  

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

These are strong indicators of a good fit—not strict requirements:

• 2+ years of experience writing production-level code
  

• Prior experience at a small but high-performing tech company (under 100 employees)
  

• Strong communication, decision-making, and adaptability in fast-paced environments
  

• Comfort with ambiguity, early-stage product development, and self-direction
  

• Bonus: startup experience, side projects, open source contributions, hackathon wins
  

Preferred Background (Internal Priorities)

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from a Top 20 CS program (e.g., UC Berkeley, Stanford, CMU, MIT)
  

Work Experience:

• Experience at highly respected engineering/product companies (e.g., Ramp, Cruise, Brex, Rippling, Snorkel)
  

• Early-stage startup experience as a founding engineer or early hire
  

Technical Expertise:

• Deep experience with Node.js and TypeScript
  

• Strong skills with RESTful APIs, JavaScript, and SQL
  

• Familiarity with AWS environments
  

Additional Requirements:

• Must be authorized to work and start on-site immediately (OPT, TN, or H1B transfer eligible)
  

• Willingness to relocate to San Francisco if not already local
  

• Comfortable interacting with clients and occasional travel (1–2x/year)
  

Benefits

Why This Role Stands Out

• Be part of a breakout AI platform from its early stages
  

• Work with a tight-knit, high-caliber engineering team
  

• Help shape product direction, architecture, and culture
  

• Competitive compensation, real impact, and long-term opportunity
