Senior Full-Stack Engineer

About the role

At Chima, we build the most advanced AI human reasoning systems. We build this AI to help real people learn faster than machines. New features roll out every day, and we9d rather ship a small, working slice than polish a giant spec no one uses. If you like shipping great products faster than ever before and experiencing customers and users gain value from what you9re offering to them and the world - then you99re in the right place!

What you9ll do

• Make things users can touch. Craft clean, snappy UIs (Next.js/React) and the APIs that power them.
• Use the most advanced AI tool stack. Use every available AI engineering tool to 100x your shipping ability.
• Keep the pipes flowing. Spin up CI/CD, write migrations, and add the logs/alerts that let us sleep at night.
• Sprinkle in the smarts. When an LLM or vector search makes the product simpler, you9ll wire it in without fanfare.
• Talk to customers. Jump on a quick call, watch how they actually work, and turn their 9CI wish into 9Oh wow, its live already.
• Grow the team. Pair program, review code with kindness, and help us hire more smart+friendly experts.

Role & responsibilities

• Own features end-to-end: database schema, backend service, front-end component, deployment, and metrics.
• Design and maintain microservices (TypeScript/Node, Go, or Python) that stay healthy under real traffic.
• Build cloud infrastructure (AWS, Terraform/CDK, Kubernetes) that can survive an outage and keep the bill sane.
• Bake in security - RBAC, secret management, threat modeling - every time you merge.
• Stay curious; try new tools, share what works, and toss what doesnt.

The tools we use today

TypeScript  Go  Python  Next.js  FastAPI  tRPC  AWS (EKS/Lambda)  Terraform  Pulumi  Docker  Postgres  DynamoDB  Redis  Kafka  OpenTelemetry  Grafana

You9ll thrive here if you

• Have 3-5+ years turning rough ideas into production code for lots of users (or serious throughput).
• Can sketch an architecture on a whiteboard and explain it to non-engineers.
• Treat test coverage, monitoring, and graceful failure as basic hygiene.
• Write clearly and enjoy asynchronous work - we span several time zones.
