Braintrust

Job Description 
 
Project Description: 
 
The development effort is focused on leveraging the latest frameworks (Nodejs, React, v0.dev, Vercel, Clerk, Postgres, FaunaDB, Next.js) and AI solutions (OpenAI API) to rapidly iterate on advanced integrations and maintain a highly dynamic coding environment. There needs to be some balance to create a maintainable codebase for actual production deployment, but the driving force behind the project is a client that pushes very aggressively on rapid pivots and analysis/usage of new frameworks/services. A successful senior developer will need to be very enthusiastic about this next-gen coding style while still being capable of developing maintainable code. Also, because the client can often generate "high-level" requirements, the senior developer role will need to be able to consider new requirements and formulate design and architecture changes in a dynamic environment. 
 
Must-Have Traits: 
 


* Excellent English communication (both verbal and written)
* Comfortable/experienced talking directly with technical client stakeholders
* Passion, enthusiasm, excitement
* Comfortable with ambiguity
* Willing to ideate and learn
* Desire to embrace AI in your daily work 
 
 

About the Role: 
 
We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Senior Software Engineer to join our team. This role demands not only technical expertise but also exceptional communication skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, unstructured environment. You’ll be at the forefront of leveraging artificial intelligence to redefine how we build software, while also playing a key role in refining and defining project objectives in the face of changing requirements. 
 
Key Responsibilities: 
 


* Design, develop, and optimize scalable software solutions using modern programming practices and cutting-edge technologies.
* Apply strong computer science fundamentals, including time and space complexity analysis (e.g., O(n)) and strategies for identifying and resolving concurrency issues, such as race conditions and deadlocks.
* Advocate for your ideas, designs, and work, while maintaining openness to feedback and collaboration.
* Communicate complex technical concepts clearly and respectfully to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, fostering understanding and alignment.
* Actively participate in shaping project objectives, helping to navigate ambiguity and refine evolving requirements.
* Integrate and utilize AI tools to transform the development process, achieving unprecedented productivity and innovation.
* Contribute to a culture of continuous learning, growth, and curiosity within the team. 
 
 

What We’re Looking For: 
 


* Strong Communication Skills: You can articulate your ideas clearly, respectfully advocate for your work, and actively listen to others. You adapt your communication style for non-technical audiences and work collaboratively to build consensus.
* Proficiency in Fundamentals: You have a deep understanding of computer science principles, including algorithm analysis and concurrency management.
* Adaptability in Ambiguity: You excel in unstructured environments, embracing changing requirements and playing a key role in defining and refining objectives.
* AI Enthusiast: You’re excited about the AI revolution and ready to reimagine how development is done, leveraging AI tools to achieve extraordinary results.
* Team Player with a Growth Mindset: You thrive in collaborative environments, value diverse perspectives, and are committed to continuous improvement.
* Empathy and Respect: You approach conversations with humility, engaging with non-programmers and colleagues in a respectful, non-condescending manner. 
 
 

Why Join Us? 
 
This is your opportunity to be at the cutting edge of software development, driving innovation in a dynamic and evolving landscape. If you’re passionate about creating impactful solutions, embracing new challenges, and shaping the future with AI-enhanced development, we’d love to hear from you.
