Company Description
Our client is an early-stage, high-growth startup modernizing immigration infrastructure through software. They are building a platform that streamlines and automates complex visa and legal workflows for global talent and companies.
With strong product-market fit, the company has reached ~$10M in revenue on minimal funding and is scaling rapidly. Their platform sits at the intersection of legal ops, automation, and AI—bringing much-needed efficiency to a traditionally manual and fragmented process.
With a small, high-performing team and ambitious growth plans, this is an opportunity to join a mission-driven company solving a critical global problem.
What You Will Do
- Build and scale full-stack systems across backend infrastructure and frontend applications
- Design and implement robust APIs, data models, and system architecture
- Own workflow orchestration systems and improve task/event-driven pipelines
- Develop and ship high-quality user-facing interfaces for customers and internal teams
- Work directly with users (legal ops teams, customers) to understand problems and iterate quickly
- Improve system performance, reliability, and scalability across the stack
- Build automation and agentic workflows to streamline complex legal processes
- Handle backend complexities such as access controls, permissions, and data integrity
- Contribute to architectural decisions and long-term system design
- Operate with high ownership in a fast-paced, product-driven environment
Ideal Candidate Background
- 5–9 years of experience as a full-stack engineer (backend-leaning)
- Strong experience building and shipping production systems end-to-end
- Deep expertise in TypeScript, React, and backend systems (Python/Node)
- Experience working at early-stage or high-growth startups
- Strong understanding of API design, data modeling, and system architecture
- Experience working closely with product and users in small teams
- Proven ability to handle complex backend systems and workflows
Preferred
- Experience building workflow orchestration or event-driven systems
- Familiarity with Python frameworks (FastAPI, Django)
- Experience with PostgreSQL and relational databases
- Exposure to AI/LLM-powered systems or automation workflows
- Experience in ops-heavy or process-driven products (legal, fintech, etc.)
- Strong product sense and ability to balance UX with technical constraints
Compensation and Benefits
- Base salary: $200,000 – $250,000 (up to $300K for exceptional candidates)
- Equity: 0.25% – 1%
- Visa sponsorship available (H1B transfers, TN; O-1 case-by-case)
- High ownership role with direct impact on product and architecture
- Small, elite engineering team with strong product exposure
- Opportunity to work on meaningful, real-world problems
Why Join
This is a rare opportunity to join a high-growth startup tackling one of the most broken systems in the global workforce—immigration.
You’ll work on real, high-impact problems involving automation, workflow orchestration, and AI, while owning systems end-to-end in a small, fast-moving team.
If you’re a product-minded, backend-leaning engineer who thrives in high-ownership environments and wants to build meaningful systems from the ground up, this role offers both technical depth and real-world impact.
