Senior SDE (Full-stack)

Gushwork is reinventing how businesses get discovered online. We're an agentic AI startup that helps B2B companies show up in AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity - by building a content engine on websites designed to attract AI visitors alongside human visitors.

We're a US and Bengaluru-based company that's raised over $11M from top-tier global VCs including Lightspeed (backers of Anthropic, Grafana, Mistral), SIG, B Capital & Beenext. While search behavior is rapidly shifting toward AI, most B2B companies are being left behind. We're changing that.

We're at an exciting inflection point - moving fast, solving hard problems, and building technology that's becoming critical infrastructure as AI reshapes how buyers find solutions. If you want to work on challenging problems with a talented team in a high-growth environment, we'd love to meet you.

More about the role below - if you feel it's a fit, we are excited to meet you!

• Help build and ship next-generation features on our platform - AI-led content research, web page generation, and AI-led content updates
• Manage UI applications and infrastructure for backend services across ECS, Step Functions, Lambdas, etc.
• Keep systems performant, robust, and reliable through last-mile performance tuning, observability, and monitoring
• Collaborate with product and design teams to understand problems and propose technical solutions
• Write clear docs and runbooks for systems and processes

• You have shipped production features that span a modern web UI and backend APIs, not only one layer
• You are comfortable owning a bet from ticket to production - scoping, implementation, monitoring, and iteration
• You can hold UI, API contracts, data model, and deployment in mind at once without losing the customer outcome

• You tie technical work to customer and roadmap impact - you ask when and why is unclear instead of guessing
• You prefer small, reviewable PRs and measurable rollouts over large surprise diffs

• You have built or operated software where LLMs or AI pipelines are part of the product path - code generation, orchestration, evals, cost, testability, and reliability included
• You care about quality, cost, and failure modes of AI-assisted flows (latency, retries, evals, human-in-the-loop where needed)

• You have worked on Node.js and/or Python, Next.js and/or React in production at meaningful traffic or data volume
• You are comfortable working on frontend, backend, and infrastructure across the stack, without reservations
• You know how to maintain reliable systems while shipping fast - observability (e.g. Sentry), sane defaults, and pragmatic tradeoffs
• You know how to build and ship CI/CD pipelines

• You treat and nurture your code like a piece of art, with the right balance of simplicity and complexity, without sacrificing speed
• You have a high bias to action (run those POCs with Cursor/Claude Code), and a low bias to over-engineering

• You build trust with PMs, designers, and engineers - async updates in Slack, threads not @channel noise
• You admit what you do not know and pull in the right owner (buddy, infra, security) early
• You explain complex ideas clearly in writing - specs, PR descriptions, and docs
• You hold 3+ years of experience

• You'll be part of an early team at a fast-growing company, with a lot of impact
• You'll get to work with really smart and helpful people
• We constantly adopt the latest technologies and stay close to the latest AI innovations
• Opportunity to influence the direction of the product and engineering culture
• Flexible PTO policy
• Unlimited AI usage
• Plus cool swag, a stocked pantry, and other benefits
