This is a full-time, in-person role based in San Francisco (Presidio) - we work from the office 5 days a week.
You must be based in the Bay Area or willing to relocate before starting.
We require US work authorisation, but are open to O-1 visa sponsorship for truly exceptional candidates.
Full Stack Engineer
What You’ll Do
You’ll write and ship full-stack features end to end — from frontend UI, to backend logic, to the database and infra.
We’re still a small team, and the product is early — you won’t just be building features; you’ll help shape the trajectory of the company and the future of AI development.
Here are a few examples of the kinds of things you might work on:
Build a real-time, multiplayer IDE for AI development — think Google Docs meets VSCode, powered by Y.js and TipTap.
Extend our executor: a custom runtime that turns natural language into live, traceable agent workflows with pause/resume and retries.
Design the “GitHub for AI” — an interface for exploring, remixing, and sharing agents and flows with versioning and collaborative editing.
Talk to users, debug live issues, and ship fixes fast — often the same day.
Make product calls in the moment when things are ambiguous, and help shape the platform we’re building.
${your ideas}.
Stack
TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, Y.js, and TipTap.
Who you are
Minimum
You have 4+ years of engineering experience, with a strong track record of shipping real products.
You’re fluent in TypeScript and comfortable working across the stack — frontend, backend, and database.
You’ve built and owned complex full-stack systems end to end, not just small pieces.
You’re comfortable with ambiguity, unblock yourself, and make progress without waiting on perfect specs.
You enjoy working in a fast-paced, high-trust startup environment and like wearing multiple hats.
Bonus (but not required)
You’ve worked with our stack: React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Cloudflare Durable Objects.
You’ve built or integrated with LLM-based tools and have hands-on experience with AI workflows.
You’ve been a founder or early-stage engineer before, and care deeply about product.
The Process
We keep our process simple. Exceptional candidates go from first touch to offer within 2 weeks.
Application
Submit your resume and answer a few short questions. If it looks like a fit, we’ll invite you to send a 1-minute Loom video: tell us who you are and why you want to join Wordware.
15-minute intro call
Quick check to align on location, motivation, and logistics. If it’s a go, we move fast from here.
45-minute technical interview
You’ll build a small full-stack app. We’re looking for fluency, speed, and product sense.
System design interview
A deep dive into how you think and architect systems. We’ll walk through a real Wordware problem together.
Final conversation
Quick vibe check, answer your questions, and scope out the work trial.
Work trial
Paid trial to work on a real project in person with us — usually a few days to two weeks (flexible to do what works for you). See how we work and whether this feels like the right fit on both sides.
