Senior Full-Stack Engineer – Founding Team

Joining as one of the very first engineers at Ribbon means helping set the technical DNA of a company that’s re-inventing how the world hires. If building from scratch, owning massive scope, and seeing your code hit real users in days (not quarters) sounds like your kind of role, keep reading.

About Ribbon

We’re on a mission to let every employer find the right people 10× faster. Our always-on, voice-AI interviewer screens candidates in minutes, surfaces the best fits automatically, and frees recruiters to spend time where it counts. From scrappy startups to Fortune 500s, Ribbon slashes time-to-hire and levels up candidate quality with no extra headcount required.

How you’ll make an impact

• Lay the bedrock. Architect, build, and own core services that will power Ribbon for years.
• Ship fast, ship right. Design, develop, and maintain secure, serverless applications that scale globally.
• Go full-stack. Write production-grade TypeScript/React/Next.js on the front end and Python (or similar) on the back.
• Automate everything. Own CI/CD, infra-as-code, and testing so releases are boring (in the best way).
• Think like a product owner. Turn ideas into polished features in days.
• Set the standard. Champion code quality, documentation, and engineering culture for everyone who joins after you.

We are looking for someone who has

• Has 5–7 years building and shipping real products users love.
• Is fluent in TypeScript, React/Next.js, and Python (bonus: Solidity chops).
• Knows AWS inside-out especially Lambda.
• Lives and breathes serverless architectures, Docker, git, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Thrives on autonomy; you unblock yourself and push projects over the finish line.
• Strong organization skills and attention to detail.
• Experience working in fast pace startup environment and demonstrated rapid iterative mentality.
• Loves startup speed, ambiguity, and the thrill of seeing impact instantly.
• Strong communication skills and ability to communicate complex situations in a simple manner.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience in recruitment tech, but any high-traffic web app background is welcome.
• A bias for action: if something’s stuck, you fix it or find who can.
• An itch to mentor and shape the bar for future hires.

How can you grow at Ribbon

Early teammates here don’t just fill a role they craft new ones. You’ll steer architectural decisions, influence product strategy, and carve your own leadership path as we scale from single-digits to triple-digits headcount.

• Cutting-edge tech. Build with the latest AI tooling, not yesterday’s stack.
• Health & wellness stipend. Your mind and body are part of the product.
• Annual international offsite. Each year, we take our team on an exciting journey to a different international destination. It’s an opportunity to bond, strategize and align.
