About the Role
This is a full-stack product engineering role at the heart of how a premier startup accelerator operates — spanning the admissions pipeline, events platform, and internal tooling. Engineers here own the full product experience end-to-end, from problem definition and UI design to deployment, with no traditional PMs or designers in the loop.
What You'll Do
Design, build, and ship full-stack applications powering admissions pipelines, events platforms, and internal tools.
Develop and extend an events platform (large-scale demo days, meetups, recruiting events, office hours, and investor events), including registration, coordination, and media handling.
Integrate with external systems such as Google Calendar, Slack, and email to coordinate internal teams and external stakeholders.
Build AI and semantic search systems using embeddings and natural language queries across large datasets.
Automate admissions workflows including scheduling, notifications, status tracking, email triage, and deadline management.
Develop LLM-powered internal copilots for email classification, workflow automation, and natural language interfaces.
Create dashboards and analytics to track pipeline health and operational metrics.
Work directly with partners and operations teams to understand workflows and continuously improve systems.
What We're Looking For
Proven track record of shipping full-stack products end-to-end — owning problem definition, UI/UX design, and deployment, not just implementing specs.
Active experience building with AI/LLMs, with shipped projects or production AI features to demonstrate.
Proficiency with a modern full-stack: Rails, React, PostgreSQL, and Python.
Experience designing and shipping AI/semantic search features (embeddings, NLP) across large datasets.
Experience integrating with external APIs and systems (e.g., Google Calendar, Slack, email, data pipelines).
Strong product sense with the ability to own UI/UX and the overall product experience.
Background in startups or early-stage environments (seed through Series B); large-company experience is a plus when paired with founding or startup experience.
Experience building internal tools, workflow systems, or business software (CRMs, admissions tools, etc.) is a strong plus.
Strong CS fundamentals, demonstrated through a rigorous degree or exceptional shipped work.
Former founder or early technical leader background is a bonus.
