AI Full Stack Engineer

About the client

Our client is a CFO-grade vendor spend intelligence platform for 50-200 person companies. They help finance and operations leaders see their total vendor spend, manage contracts, track renewals, and capture savings — across software and services, not just SaaS. Our client is an Australian pre-seed startup with two second-time founders, a live product, paying customers in onboarding, and a SAFE round in market. We've built the product so far using AI-assisted development (Claude Code, Replit Agent).

Job Summary:

This is a real first-engineer role, not a "join an existing team" role. You will own the codebase, set the engineering bar, and lead delivery of the next 12 months of roadmap.

Responsibilities:

Foundations (first 30–60 days)

• Audit and reset our deploy workflow and CI/CD pipeline
• Stand up a proper staging environment
• Document the stack and architectural decisions
• Establish end-to-end testing as a discipline

Integrations (months 2–6)

• Build additional data ingestion connectors beyond Xero (accounting platforms, identity providers, HR/payroll systems)
• Design and build vendor utilisation integrations
• Build a notifications system covering onboarding, alerts, and insight delivery
• Design and build the master vendor catalogue at scale

AI agents (months 3–9)

• Extend LLM-based vendor identification and classification work
• Build evaluation infrastructure for agent reliability
• Productionise the agent task model (per-task pricing)

Productisation (months 6–12)

• Build Tier 2 functionality: utilisation analytics, consolidation recommendations, renewal automation
• Integrate Stripe billing and tier paywalling
• Help shape the hiring of engineer #2

Requirements:
Stack

• Next.js 14 (App Router), TypeScript, React 18
• PostgreSQL via node-postgres, hosted on AWS RDS
• Auth0 for multi-tenant authentication
• AWS ECS Fargate (Sydney region), CloudWatch, SSM, OIDC-based IAM
• GitHub Actions for CI/CD
• Tailwind CSS, Radix UI (design system inspired by Stripe, Linear, Notion)
• Anthropic API (Claude) for LLM features
• SendGrid for transactional email
• Claude Code and Replit Agent for AI-assisted development

Must-have experience

• 1–5 years shipping production web applications
• Production Next.js with App Router (not just Pages Router)
• Strong PostgreSQL experience: migrations, indexing, transactions, raw SQL when needed
• Production AWS experience: ECS or equivalent, RDS, IAM, secrets management
• REST API design, OAuth, webhooks, idempotent operations
• Multi-tenant SaaS architecture and related tenancy issues
• Strong written English (async work with founders in a different timezone)
• Comfortable with AI-assisted dev tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent)

Strongly preferred

• Has shipped LLM-integrated features in production (prompt design, evals, cost management)
• Stripe billing integration experience (subscriptions, metered billing, paywalls)
• Early-stage startup experience (previously 2nd or 3rd engineer in a startup)
• Has owned production on-call

How we currently work (open to changes / improvement)

• Slack is the main communication tool
• Async-first, written-first; decisions are documented, not just outcomes
• Two long-lived working branches (one per founder), PR to main, auto-deploy to AWS ECS in ~5 minutes
• Heavy use of AI dev tools; focus is on judgement, decomposition, and quality rather than typing speed
• Direct, analytical communication; pushback is expected both ways
• No standups, no Jira; work is driven by briefs and PRDs in markdown

Benefits:
• Flexibility in work hours and location, with a focus on managing energy rather than time.
• Access to online learning platforms and a budget for professional development
• A collaborative, no-silos environment, encouraging learning and growth across teams
• A dynamic social culture with team lunches, social events, and opportunities for creative input
• Health insurance
• Leave Benefits
• 13th Month Salary
