Role
Who you are
- Frontend:
- Deep experience building complex, interactive UIs using React, Vue, or Angular
- Strong grasp of state management patterns and reactive paradigms (e.g. refs, signals, RxJS, or similar)
- Proficiency in TypeScript and JavaScript, with clean, maintainable component architecture
- Familiarity with frontend performance profiling, accessibility, and design system integration
- Comfortable working with designers and PMs to turn wireframes and mockups into polished interfaces
- Backend:
- Proficiency in Python and TypeScript, with experience across modern backend frameworks (e.g. FastAPI, Next.js, Express)
- Skilled in API design, including versioning, pagination, and error modeling
- Solid understanding of authentication and authorization protocols (OAuth, JWT, etc.)
- Experience with relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB) databases, including schema design, indexing strategies, and performance tuning
- Familiarity with AWS and infrastructure concepts like CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and cloud deployments
- Invested in setting up logging, monitoring, and alerting from day one
- Builds with testability in mind - unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end test frameworks
- You know how to ship fast without creating tech debt landmines
- You balance product intuition with a strong technical foundation
- You default to clarity and modularity, especially when designing for unknowns
- You’ve worked at early-stage startups or launched new systems from scratch
- You value peer collaboration and open sharing of technical learnings
- You care just as much about why you're building something as how you build it
What the job involves
- We're looking for an Exceptional Full Stack Engineer for our Core Platform Engineering team
- As a Sr. Engineer, you’ll be a technical anchor across the stack - shaping everything from scalable backend services to responsive, intuitive frontends
- You’ll lead by example, building systems that are reliable, maintainable, and thoughtfully engineered for scale - avoiding premature complexity while leaving room for growth
- Your work will directly support both internal teams and customer-facing products
- Lead End-to-End Builds. Own projects across the full development lifecycle - from greenfield prototypes to scaling out mature systems. You’ll take loosely defined problems and return well-architected, production-ready solutions
- Design for Clarity and Change. Build backend services and user interfaces that are modular, testable, and ready to evolve. You prioritize simplicity, knowing where abstraction helps - and where it just adds noise
- Drive Pragmatic Scalability. Design for growth without overengineering. You’ll apply best practices in schema design, API modeling, and state management with a clear sense of tradeoffs and long-term maintainability
- Collaborate Closely. Partner with product, design, and other stakeholders to understand real-world needs and shape the right technical solutions. You'll operate autonomously but never in isolation
- Continuously Level Up. Bring curiosity and humility. We’re a senior team that shares learnings freely and pushes each other to do our best work
Application process
- Required Technical Exercise - submissions without this component will not be considered:
- Please spend no more than 20 minutes completing a quick coding exercise by following the instructions
Our take
Staffing is one of the most expensive contributors to business operation expenses, leading OpEx teams to minimize workforce sizes to cut costs. However, this often results in unfilled roles leading to larger workloads for employees, a sacrifice that can lead to lower-quality work and expensive errors.
Thoughtful develops bespoke back office automation bots, allowing businesses to hire bots that are specifically designed to automate their tasks and workflows. After onboarding, the company monitors and provides reports on the performance of each bot, allowing clients to see the value of each bot and whether adjustments are needed.
Whilst back office automation tools are nothing new, these generally work as integrations within other platforms, whereas Thoughtul’s bots are uniquely designed to emulate a position that would otherwise be staffed by a human. The company claims that its bots can help OpEx teams minimize staffing costs and optimize workflows whilst preventing any risk associated with cost cutting.

Company values
- Experiment always - Don’t let the fear of failure hold you back from doing incredible, original work. We don’t expect perfection on the first swing, just the willingness to keep going until we get it right. It takes grit, a lot of experimentation, and failing fast to optimize learnings
- Do less, deliver more - We focus on doing the right things, not all things. Focus on work that creates an outsized impact for our customers and team. We practice ruthless prioritization and intentionally make trade-offs that best serve our customers and mission
- We are givers - We put our customers and our team ahead of our personal ambitions. We intentionally give without condition in the spirit of advancing our mission. We won’t succeed with a “gimme” culture, but we will win as a team of endless baton-passers who support each other until the race is won
- Be ALL in - We make outsized bets to earn outsized returns for our customers, fellow colleagues, investors and stakeholders. If something critical is broken, we work relentlessly to not only fix it but solve the core issue using first-principles thinking. We obsess everyday to advance the mission and plan on building a durable, resilient 100+ year old company
- Expect to WIN - Winning is the outcome of compounding wins every moment, day, month and year. We are disciplined executors that strive to achieve mastery in everything we do. We win with grace and help elevate everyone around us. We are market makers and leaders
