Founding Full Stack Engineer Location:

In-person, SF Stack:

Next.js, TypeScript, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, AWS (ECS, Fargate), LLM APIs

What You’ll Work On

Architect and ship core product surfaces with Next.js + Typescript

Design and implement high quality user experiences for complex state / data patterns

Deliver fast and clear data visualizations for millions of data points from various sources

Backend Infrastructure

Building features in Python (FastAPI) with PostgreSQL as our primary database.

Managing AWS infrastructure — primarily ECS/Fargate, Lambda, S3, and related services.

Designing APIs for the frontend (TypeScript) and partner integrations.

Working on AI (LLM-powered) features end-to-end

The ROLE You are not just an employee – you are a builder of the company.

You’ll be at the core of shaping Relixir’s product, technology, and trajectory – from hands‑on full‑stack development, to collaborating on the big decisions that define our future.

Strategic Impact – Work directly with the founders to influence technical and product direction, deciding how we scale our platform and what bets we make in AI search automation.

End‑to‑End Ownership – Take ideas from rough concepts to production‑ready systems – UI/UX, frontend components, APIs, LLM usage, and everything in between. You’ll own critical features and ensure they’re fast, reliable, and a joy to use.

Customer‑Driven Development – Talk to customers, dig into their needs, and turn feedback into technical solutions that directly impact their growth.

About You

Deeply Curious – You actively seek to understand complex systems, customer problems, and the latest technical possibilities. Curiosity drives your best work.

Relentlessly Driven – You thrive in early‑stage chaos. You move quickly, test bold ideas, and turn uncertainty into working solutions.

True Owner – You don’t just “complete tickets.” You take full responsibility for delivering outcomes — finding a path forward even with incomplete information.

Collaborative & Humble – You share ideas openly, listen actively, and care more about the best solution than being right. You’re confident in your skills but always learning.
