Role
Who you are
- We're looking for someone with strong Python expertise, frontend experience (preferably Vue + TypeScript), and a passion for developer tools and infrastructure
- This role is ideal for someone who thrives in high-impact, cross-functional environments and is excited to help define best practices and technical vision for our internal and user-facing tools
- Minimum 5+ years of experience in full stack software engineering
- Expert-level knowledge of Python, especially in building production systems (Mypy, Pydantic, type hinting, Pytest, etc.)
- Experience with Vue.js and TypeScript, or a willingness to pick up Vue quickly if coming from React
- Strong grasp of web performance, frontend testing, and browser architecture
- Experience integrating REST APIs, OAuth, and ideally AI services
- Familiarity with CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code (basic YAML is a plus), and developer tooling
- You value collaboration, and you’ve helped teams adopt technical best practices in the past
- Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and thinking several steps ahead
- Bonus. If you’ve built devtools, no-code platforms, AI-powered interfaces, or contributed to open source, please share them!
- Note: We are open to both front end and backend leaning profiles for this role. 5 years experience is minimum experience, but we are open to seniority (senior, staff, senior staff, etc)
What the job involves
- Writer is seeking an experienced fullstack software engineer to join our growing team building the future of AI-assisted, collaborative software development
- In this role, you’ll work on a cutting-edge low-code platform that combines full-code, no-code and generative AI to create frontends, workflows, and backends
- Design and build core components of our low-code UI builder and no-code workflow builder using Python and Vue
- Define and enforce backend engineering standards including typing, linting, testing, and code organization
- Integrate and maintain AI-powered agent tooling to support prompt-based UI and backend generation
- Collaborate on infrastructure and dev tooling, helping to shape our internal developer experience and CI/CD pipelines
- Work with the design and product teams to deliver collaboration features such as commenting, notifications, and real-time updates
- Contribute to both backend and frontend codebases; blur the line between FE and BE to deliver holistic solutions
- Integrate third-party APIs, AI providers, and logging/observability tools as needed
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.
