Desirable
- Experience with AI frameworks like LangChain, Pydantic, or LlamaIndex

- Knowledge of microservices and event-driven architectures
- Prior experience in B2B SaaS platforms
What the job involves
- Optix is looking for a Full Stack Engineer to help us evolve from a rules-based automation platform into a leading conversational, agentic workspace management system
- You'll build AI-powered features that help coworking and flex space operators save hours daily while driving revenue growth
- Working closely with our Technical Lead and product team, you'll focus on full-stack feature delivery—building the data pipelines, integration patterns, and user experiences that bring AI capabilities to life in our platform
- This is a rare opportunity to grow your AI engineering expertise in a profitable, proven SaaS company
- You'll work alongside experienced AI leadership who will help you become expert-level in AI development while you leverage your strong full-stack fundamentals to ship meaningful features
- Build AI-powered features including intelligent sales widgets, automated message generation, and predictive workflow optimization
- Develop data pipelines and integration patterns that connect AI capabilities with our existing automations platform
- Implement full-stack features that deliver AI value to users through intuitive interfaces
- Collaborate with our Tech Lead to implement evaluation and monitoring for AI feature quality
- Identify opportunities to improve user experience and operational efficiency through AI
- Contribute to establishing best practices for AI feature development across the team
- Build upon our core platform to drive the success and adoption of AI-powered features
- Grow your expertise in production AI engineering through hands-on work and mentorship
Our take
Making the most out of your flexible workspace isn't easy. Optix helps ease this problem by connecting users with the community, resources, and services that workplaces have to offer.
As a spin-off of the successful coworking space company ShareDesk, Optix has had an advantage over its competitors since the beginning. The company has attracted businesses like 1880, The Cloud Room, and Thrive, and has impressively increased its revenue year on year.
The increase in remote and flexible workers has paid off for Optix, and the company is well-positioned to scale dramatically over the coming years. It will need to innovate its app and attract more coworking brands if it is to consolidate its progress.
