The Role

We're looking for a well-rounded full-stack engineer for a full-time, hybrid role based in the Washington, DC metro area. (Please note: We are in the office three days a week. This is not negotiable.)

You should be fluent with AI and agentic coding tools and use them every day. But the work we most need is the work those tools cannot do on their own: deciding what to build, finding the right level of abstraction for a problem, and writing code you would stand behind when the tool is wrong. You'll have access to the latest agentic tooling. We are hiring you for the judgment that makes it useful, and for rock-solid fundamentals, ideally from a CS background, backed by enough experience shipping software and developer tools to know good work from plausible work.

Bedrock Knowledge, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer and will not discriminate against any employee or applicant on the basis of age, color, disability, gender, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, veteran status, or any classification protected by federal, state, or local law.

Requirements

We are looking for someone who

• has a minimum of 5 years of experience building software in a professional setting
• loves TypeScript or other strongly-typed languages, and knows how and when to use the advanced features of the type system
• has strong proficiency with React or similar front-end technologies
• has opinions on REST, WebSocket, and (g)RPC frameworks, and experience delivering strongly-typed, versioned, documented APIs
• has shipped production code with AI and agentic coding tools such as Devin, Claude Code, and Cursor, and can say clearly where they speed the work up and where they get in the way
• can work with the product and design teams to take designs and prototypes and make them shippable products
• can handle significant responsibility autonomously while working as part of a small team
• has the right to work in the United States
• lives in the Washington, DC metro area or is willing to relocate there (our office is in the Georgetown neighborhood of DC)

Duties and Responsibilities

• Deliver end-to-end platform features and new APIs, using existing testing and CI/CD infrastructure
• Identify where additional testing and CI/CD infrastructure is needed, and build those processes with the team
• Write clean, maintainable TypeScript in a dynamic small-team setting with minimal oversight
• Give and act on peer code review, holding a high bar for clean code while staying professional and courteous
• Participate in weekly sprint meetings: demo work in progress to the Product team, and help groom and prioritize the backlog
• Document select APIs and occasionally serve as technical point of contact for the partners who use them

Benefits

• Competitive salary ($160K to $190K)
• Incentive stock options on standard vesting schedule
• Flexible paid time off (PTO)
• Annual and performance-based bonuses
• Healthcare, dental, and vision, with 100% of premiums covered for employees
