What the job involves
- We are seeking a talented Full-stack engineer to join our dynamic and growing team at Writer
- As a key member of our engineering team, you will play a crucial role in building the future of AI-assisted software development.
- Your primary focus will be on developing a cutting-edge low-code/no-code platform that leverages generative AI to create frontends, workflows, and backends from natural language prompts
- By designing and building core components, defining and enforcing best practices, and integrating advanced AI features, you will directly impact the efficiency and effectiveness of our platform, enabling users to create sophisticated applications with minimal coding effort
- Additionally, your contributions to collaboration features such as commenting, notifications, and real-time updates will enhance the social and interactive aspects of our platform, fostering a more connected and productive user community
- Design and build core components: Develop and maintain the core components of our low-code UI builder and no-code workflow builder using Python and Vue
- Define and enforce standards: Establish and enforce backend engineering standards, including typing, linting, testing, and code organization
- Integrate AI tooling: Integrate and maintain AI-powered agent tooling to support prompt-based UI and backend generation
- Backend services and APIs: Develop robust backend services and RESTful APIs using Python (FastAPI)
- Frontend development: Create intuitive and user-friendly frontend interfaces using JavaScript/TypeScript (React or similar frameworks)
- Scalable infrastructure: Integrate AI services with scalable cloud infrastructure (e.g., GCP, AWS, Azure) and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, etc.)
- Collaborate on dev tooling: Work closely with the infrastructure and dev tooling teams to enhance our internal developer experience and CI/CD pipelines
- Monitor and optimize: Ensure the monitoring, observability, and performance of deployed AI features using tools like Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, or DataDog
- Best practices advocacy: Promote software engineering best practices and actively participate in architectural decisions
- Collaboration features: Collaborate with the design and product teams to deliver social collaboration features such as commenting, notifications, and real-time updates
- Holistic solutions: Contribute to both backend and frontend codebases, delivering comprehensive and integrated solutions
- Third-party integrations: Integrate third-party APIs, AI providers, and logging/observability tools as required

Our take
AI-assisted writing tools have taken off over recent years. With the likes of high-exposure company Grammarly accelerating adoption of such tools, a flurry of startups have appeared to offer their own takes. Writer’s angle is to leverage AI as a means of standardizing and scaling both content and communications for business teams. The tool offers autofilling and inline suggestions that keep content aligned with pre-determined company language and style guides.
This branded fine-tuning function distinguishes it from full copy-generation competitors, as well as from Grammarly itself, which is a more generalist copyediting tool. It subsequently caters to major enterprise clients looking to maintain standards across multiple and sprawling teams, and the company has managed to net major clients like Deloitte, Twitter, UiPath, and Accenture.
While AI-related buzz remains solidly around generative AIs like ChatGPT and Bard, Writer's narrow target market - in which it has already found success - supplies plenty of scope to grow, as AI copyediting tools look set to rapidly become content industry standard. With continued new launches and updates to its offerings as well as an impressive $100 million Series B awarded in 2023, the company is well-placed to seek further success into the future.
