🏢 Summary: Full Stack Engineer role building and scaling a mission-critical AI-native platform for defence logistics, integrating with legacy government and enterprise systems. The position involves end-to-end development across frontend, backend, and databases, with strong ownership and direct customer impact. Candidates will work in a fast-paced seed-stage environment with high accountability and real-world deployment exposure. 🗂️ Requirements: Experience shipping production software end-to-end, Strong proficiency in TypeScript, Strong proficiency in JavaScript, Experience with at least one frontend framework (React, Svelte, Next.js or similar), Solid knowledge of SQL databases, Experience designing database schemas and data models, Understanding of testing, documentation, and code review best practices, Ability to work in fast-moving, high-accountability environments 📃 Skills: TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Svelte, Next.js, SQL, PostgreSQL, APIs, ERP, Testing, Documentation, CodeReview 🏢 Description: ABOUT THE COMPANY We're building the AI-native command centre for defence logistics. The US defence industrial base — distributors and manufacturers managing billions of dollars in supply chain — still runs on infrastructure built in the 1980s, stitched together with email threads, supplier quotes, PDFs, government solicitations, and archaic ERP exports. We're changing that. Our platform eliminates the manual bottlenecks slowing down critical national security workflows, helping defence distributors and manufacturers quote faster, win more contracts, and deliver the components that keep allied defence forces operational. We're at seed stage, moving fast, and building a small core engineering team to scale the platform. ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for a Full Stack Engineer to join the core platform engineering team and contribute directly to the development, scalability, and reliability of mission-critical software supporting defence and supply chain operations. You'll work closely with engineering leadership, founders, and customer-facing deployment teams to design, build, and maintain systems that integrate with complex legacy environments and support high-value, high-impact workflows. No two days will be the same — from integrating with legacy government interfaces to architecting dynamic workflows, the scope is wide and the stakes are real. Onboarding includes an on-site implementation. Expect late nights and direct customer pressure — everyone on the platform team goes through it, because experiencing forward-deployed reality is how you build software that actually works in the field. WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON Full-stack platform development Design, develop, and maintain full-stack application functionality across frontend interfaces, backend services and APIs, and database schemas and data models. Legacy system integrations Implement integrations with external systems including legacy government and enterprise platforms — ERPs, government procurement interfaces, and everything in between. Customer-driven feature delivery Collaborate with forward-deployed teams to translate customer requirements into production-ready features that drive measurable revenue outcomes for clients. Code quality and standards Ensure code quality through best practices, testing, documentation, and code reviews. Set the standard for customer-centric engineering excellence — code is a means to an end, and you build with that in mind. Team mentorship and onboarding Support the onboarding and technical development of new engineering team members as the team grows. WHAT WE LOOK FOR A track record of shipping Experience delivering real projects and products to production. You've owned things end-to-end and have the scars to show for it. TypeScript and JavaScript fluency Strong proficiency in TypeScript and JavaScript, plus solid experience with at least one frontend framework — React, Svelte, Next.js, or similar. SQL and database design Solid knowledge of SQL databases, preferably PostgreSQL. Comfortable designing schemas and reasoning about data models. Software engineering best practices Strong understanding of testing, documentation, code review, and the longer-term cost of shortcuts — while also knowing when pragmatic compromises are the right call. High accountability in fast-moving environments You set reliable deadlines and meet them. When millions of dollars depend on a delivery date, you treat that seriously — and you communicate clearly when something is at risk. THE TEAM A small, tight-knit engineering team working directly with founders and customer-facing deployment strategists. The structure is flat, the feedback is direct, and the work has real-world consequence. You'll have genuine ownership from day one — both in terms of equity and the code you're responsible for. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary $75,000 – $150,000 depending on experience. Equity 0.05% – 0.3% real equity. A meaningful slice at seed stage. Work model Remote, based in Warsaw.
