Role Introduction

This is a rare opportunity with a well funded startup building AI software for the manufacturing of physical products within life-sciences. You’ll join a lean, deeply technical team shipping end to end product features in TypeScript (React, Node, GraphQL)

If you’re feeling under‑utilised or craving difficult problems and real ownership, this environment will challenge you. You will ship often, own outcomes, and grow quickly.

About Us

We’re a well‑funded, product‑led startup building pragmatic, production‑ready AI for the domain of chemicals manufacturing (food and beverage, pharmaceutical and construction).

We prioritise impact over ceremony: weekly standup, minimal meetings, high ownership. Engineers take features from problem to production, including quality and reliability. Recent larger customer wins mean we’re scaling the core product and reliability of back‑end workflows.

About You

We’re looking for a product‑minded Full‑Stack Engineer with back‑end depth and strong JavaScript/TypeScript fundamentals.

• You thrive in lean startup environments and are comfortable with ambiguity
• You communicate clearly and collaborate well with engineering and product, and sometimes customers
• You’re proactive, resourceful, and bias to action. You can unblock yourself and know when to ask for help
• You care about customers and work backwards from their needs, but your core energy is building

Our challenges require sound engineering judgement, algorithmic thinking, and a shipping mindset.

Skills and Experience

• Strong TypeScript fundamentals: TypeScript, Node.js, React
• Data layer: Postgres
• Nice to have: NestJS, Next.js, .NET, Python, experience with LLMs or ML
• Platform: AWS familiarity and DevOps (CI/CD; exposure to containers/orchestration like Rancher/Kubernetes) is helpful
• Evidence of end‑to‑end delivery: startups, side projects, or shipping meaningful features to prod
• Prior startup experience is a plus. Clear, direct communication is essential

What you’ll do (first 3–6 months)

• Own and ship customer‑impacting product slices regularly
• Improve reliability and speed of core back‑end workflows
• Contribute pragmatic product input without getting stuck in planning

Compensation

• Typical range: AUD $140k–$160k base for mid, or early-senior, high‑aptitude profiles, with flexibility for clear impact and fit

Benefits and Culture

• Hybrid/remote‑friendly within Australia. Australian working rights required. Fully flexible including the ability to work from overseas, post probation. (Applicants from AU only please)
• High‑agency environment designed for continuous learning and rapid impact
• Build meaningful AI features with a tight feedback loop to customers
• Join a company on a strong growth trajectory with clear product milestones ahead
