Job Description
Role: Founding Product Engineer (Full-stack)
Location: In-person, SF
Stack: Next.js, TypeScript, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, AWS (ECS, Fargate), LLM APIs
What You’ll Work On
Frontend Platform:
- 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.
