The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Build and ship full-stack features for a new North American product line, working from customer conversations to production code and taking responsibility for how well the product performs once it reaches users.
What you'll do
-
Build and release full-stack features from first idea to production, with a backend-first approach.
-
Spend time with body shops, estimators and parts managers to understand where their daily processes break down, then shape the next thing to build.
-
Prototype quickly with AI tools and Python, then rebuild the strongest prototypes in a statically typed language.
-
Stay accountable for how well your product area performs in usage and returns, and weigh its benefit against the cost of building it.
-
Bring estimators and parts teams from hand-done tasks to automated assistants that act under human oversight, winning their confidence on critical repair jobs.
-
Requirements
-
What we're looking for

-
Full-stack experience across backend and frontend, with a backend lean welcome.
-
Hands-on history of quickly creating early versions of software using AI coding assistants.
-
5+ years of experience in software engineering.
-
Bonus points

Early engineer or founder experience at a startup, combined with time at a strong engineering organization.
