Software engineer, fullstack

📐 About this role 

WRITER is seeking an experienced fullstack software engineer to join our growing team building the future of AI-assisted, collaborative software development. In this role, you’ll work on a cutting-edge low-code platform that combines full-code, no-code and generative AI to create frontends, workflows, and backends.

We're looking for someone with strong Python expertise, frontend experience (preferably Vue + TypeScript), and a passion for developer tools and infrastructure. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in high-impact, cross-functional environments and is excited to help define best practices and technical vision for our internal and user-facing tools.

As a part of this team, you’ll contribute to develop WRITER’s Agent Builder, a low-code tool that combines a UI builder, a workflow builder and a Python interpreter into a cloud-based IDE. The upstream project is the WRITER Framework, which is an open source that can be self-hosted: https://github.com/writer/writer-framework

🦸🏻‍♀️ Your responsibilities:

• Design and build core components of our low-code UI builder and no-code workflow builder using Python and Vue

• Define and enforce backend engineering standards including typing, linting, testing, and code organization

• Integrate and maintain AI-powered agent tooling to support prompt-based UI and backend generation

• Collaborate on infrastructure and dev tooling, helping to shape our internal developer experience and CI/CD pipelines

• Work with the design and product teams to deliver collaboration features such as commenting, notifications, and real-time updates

• Contribute to both backend and frontend codebases; blur the line between FE and BE to deliver holistic solutions

• Integrate third-party APIs, AI providers, and logging/observability tools as needed
  

⭐ Is this you? 

• Minimum 5+ years of experience in full stack software engineering

• Expert-level knowledge of Python, especially in building production systems (Mypy, Pydantic, type hinting, Pytest, etc.)

• Experience with Vue.js and TypeScript, or a willingness to pick up Vue quickly if coming from React

• Strong grasp of web performance, frontend testing, and browser architecture

• Experience integrating REST APIs, OAuth, and ideally AI services

• Familiarity with CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code (basic YAML is a plus), and developer tooling

• You value collaboration, and you’ve helped teams adopt technical best practices in the past

• Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and thinking several steps ahead

• Bonus. If you’ve built devtools, no-code platforms, AI-powered interfaces, or contributed to open source, please share them! 

• Note: We are open to both front end and backend leaning profiles for this role. 5 years experience is minimum experience, but we are open to seniority (senior, staff, senior staff, etc).
