Senior Engineer - AI, Systems, and Scale

New Yesterday

*The Future of Work Belongs to People.*
Interested in this role You can find all the relevant information in the description below.
AI is being used to replace people. We’re building the counter to that. At *WerQ AI*, we’re using AI to give people back their power, and in the process, we’re building the most unstoppable workforce the world has ever seen. We’ve shipped our MVP, launched Open Beta, and built a 22,000+ waitlist. Now we’re looking for an engineer to join our team who thrives on the edge of what’s possible.
*The Role*
We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer with a strong backend focus who sees past the walls most developers stop at. You’ll architect and ship core features, integrate cutting-edge AI, and solve technical puzzles few ever get to touch. We’re building something that doesn’t exist yet (and if you’ve ever reverse-engineered a ticketing platform, automated sneaker drop purchases, or outsmarted a travel booking site, *you already know why this is going to be fun!*)
*Responsibilities*:
* *End-to-End Development:* Architect, implement, and maintain scalable web applications using *NestJS* and *Next.js*, bridging frontend and backend seamlessly. * *Database & API Design:* Optimize *PostgreSQL* for performance, scalability, and clean data structures. * *Feature Ownership:* Own features from design to deployment, collaborating with product and design. * *UI/UX Implementation:* Convert Figma designs into production-ready frontend code using *React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS*. * *AI Integrations:* Build *Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)* systems and integrate *LangChain* and *OpenAI APIs*. * *Authentication & Security:* Implement secure authentication with *Clerk* and follow best practices for security. * *Automation & Testing:* Use *Puppeteer or Playwright* for automated testing and end-to-end reliability. * *Advanced Web Interaction:* * Dynamic *DOM traversal and mutation observation* * Reverse-engineering rendering logic * Overcoming anti-bot measures: timing delays, mouse movement emulation, hidden elements * Browser fingerprinting evasion * Parsing JavaScript-rendered dropdowns and form states * Integrating with *CAPTCHA-solving services* (ethically and legally) * *Infrastructure:* Work with *GCP* to build and scale production infrastructure. * *Collaboration:* Partner with product and design to iterate fast, solve hard problems, and ship relentlessly.
*What We’re Looking For*:
* 8+ years of full-stack experience with *TypeScript, Next.js, and NestJS* (or strong Node.js expertise). * A track record of building *scalable backend architectures and APIs* that don’t break under pressure. * Comfort with *Docker-based environments* and a solid understanding of *GCP or similar cloud platforms.* * The ability to *reverse-engineer complex interfaces* and simulate human interaction in code. * A love for solving “impossible” puzzles—and the curiosity to keep pushing until it works. * Experience integrating *AI-driven features* (or the passion to learn fast). * A self-starter who thrives in *fast-moving, early-stage environments* where ownership is everything.
*How We Work*
* *Freedom to Work Anywhere* - We hire builders, not time-clock punchers. Do your best work where you thrive. (our current team sits in PST, CST, EST and France) * *Impact Over Hours* - No micromanagement. No busywork. Ship meaningful things, own them, and move fast. * *Connection Without Clutter* - Remote-first, but never isolated. Every quarter, we meet in person to align, push harder, and build like a team on a mission. * *Rest Is Part of the Job* - Unlimited PTO isn’t a perk; it’s a principle. You can’t build a world-changing company if you’re running on empty. * *Health Comes Standard* - 100% company-paid health, dental, and vision; because focus should live in your code, not your coverage. * *Grow With Us* - Join early. Scale with us. Leave your fingerprint on a company rewriting the future of work.
