Role

Who you are

2+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership of production systems, not just contributions to a team that owned them
You use AI to architect, debug, write, and review code, and you've shipped AI-powered features or systems, not just used AI-assisted editors
Move fast and make decisions: you don't wait for a fully scoped ticket to start thinking, you'd rather ship something real and iterate than spend weeks perfecting a plan
Strong analytical instincts for efficiency, scalability, and system reliability, you think about what breaks at scale before it breaks in production
Entrepreneurial ownership mindset, you treat the problems you're assigned as yours to solve, not tasks to complete
Collaborative by default, you make the engineers around you better, not just the code you personally write

What the job involves

GlossGenius is building an agentic workforce: AI systems that act on behalf of appointment-based business owners, not just assist them. The engineers who join now will be the ones who architect it
We're hiring across two paths: product engineers who work at the intersection of AI capabilities and customer problems, shipping the features that put agentic tools directly in front of the businesses we serve; and platform engineers who build the scalable, reliable infrastructure that makes those AI products possible in the first place
Whichever path you're on, the expectation is the same: you build with AI as the default layer underneath how you work, not a tool you reach for occasionally
Architect and ship AI-powered features that change how service businesses operate: not wrappers around existing tools, but net-new capabilities that weren't possible before
Build and maintain large-scale systems that process billions in payments and serve 120,000+ businesses, with reliability and performance as non-negotiables
Use AI to architect, debug, write, and review code, and hold a higher bar for your own output because of it
Own your work end to end: from technical design through production, with full accountability for what you ship and how it performs
Build the platform infrastructure that lets product teams move faster: scalable, extensible systems that remove friction rather than create it
Challenge how we build: when you see a faster path or a better architecture, you're expected to make the case and drive it

Our take

Business management platforms exist for a wide range of industries, including retail, hospitality, and healthcare. But the beauty industry lacks specialized software and still runs on generic CRMs and basic spreadsheets. Recognizing a gap in the market, GlossGenius has stepped in to provided a specialized business management platform for beauty salons, spas and studios.

With little competition in this niche, GlossGenius has swiftly captured a large market share - it serves over 1000,000 businesses and has raised more than $70 million. With this backing, the company is accelerating platform development, and it is well on the way to fulfilling its long-term aim of developing into the Toast of the beauty industry.
