🚀 About WRITER

WRITER is where the world's leading enterprises orchestrate AI-powered work. Our vision is to expand human capacity through superintelligence. And we're proving it's possible – through powerful, trustworthy AI that unites IT and business teams together to unlock enterprise-wide transformation. With WRITER's end-to-end platform, hundreds of companies like Mars, Marriott, Uber, and Vanguard are building and deploying AI agents that are grounded in their company's data and fueled by WRITER's enterprise-grade LLMs. Valued at $1.9B and backed by industry-leading investors including Premji Invest, Radical Ventures, and ICONIQ Growth, WRITER is rapidly cementing its position as the leader in enterprise generative AI.

Founded in 2020 with office hubs in San Francisco, New York City, Seattle, Austin, Chicago, and London, our team thinks big and moves fast, and we're looking for smart, hardworking builders and scalers to join us on our journey to create a better future of work with AI.

📐 About the role

We're looking for an exceptional software engineer to join our rapidly evolving team at WRITER. In this pivotal role, you'll be at the forefront of expanding human capacity by building the next generation of AI-powered solutions that transform how leading enterprises operate. You'll dive deep into developing a state-of-the-art platform that leverages cutting-edge generative AI technologies, from large language models to sophisticated agentic workflows, delivering seamless, scalable, and secure applications that redefine enterprise productivity. This is an unparalleled opportunity to make a tangible impact, shaping the future of AI and contributing to a product that’s changing how the world works.

This role is hybrid, based out of our San Francisco, New York City, or Seattle hubs. You'll report to our senior director, engineering.

We are open to hiring for this role at multiple levels, with compensation ranges scaled to match your experience, expertise, and the scope of the role.

🦸🏻‍♀️ What you’ll do

- Design and deliver secure, scalable AI integration platforms that connect enterprise systems and power mission-critical automation.

- Contribute to the design and evolution of our AI integration client ecosystem, defining how AI applications securely connect to external tools, data sources, and enterprise systems.

- Own backend service design for high-throughput, low-latency APIs that enable reliable agent workflows and complex cross-system orchestration.

- Set technical direction for identity, auth, and trust boundaries across integrations (OAuth, API key, service-to-service), balancing developer velocity with security and compliance.

- Partner with product and cross-functional engineering leaders to shape roadmap, define technical strategy, and translate ambiguous business goals into durable platform capabilities.

- Lead production excellence through a metrics-first reliability strategy, defining and enforcing SLOs/SLAs, maturing observability, and driving resilience, incident readiness, and performance optimization at scale.

- Raise the engineering bar through architecture reviews, pragmatic design standards, rigorous testing strategy, and mentorship of senior and mid-level engineers.

⭐️ What you need

- 5+ years of software engineering experience building and operating production backend systems using Typescript, Deno, Node.js, or Bun; scope and leveling can flex across Senior to Staff based on architectural impact and leadership.

- Strong experience designing and shipping API-driven platform services and distributed systems, including microservices, event-driven patterns, and secure service-to-service communication.

- Practical expertise building AI integration layers (e.g., MCP clients/servers, tool orchestration, external API connectors, auth mediation), not just prompt or model experimentation.

- Deep hands-on knowledge of authentication and security patterns for third-party integrations (OAuth2/OIDC, API keys, token lifecycle, secret management, least-privilege access).

- Proven cloud-native experience on AWS, GCP, or Azure, including containerized workloads (Docker/Kubernetes), CI/CD, and production operations.

- Strong experience with observability and reliability engineering, including defining/operating service metrics, SLOs/SLAs, alerting, incident response, and performance tuning.

- Solid backend fundamentals in modern server frameworks and data systems (e.g., TypeScript/Node or Python ecosystems, PostgreSQL), with ability to choose the right tool for the system; experience with Python is a plus but not required.

- Demonstrated ability to lead through ambiguity: partner cross-functionally, mentor engineers, drive technical decisions, and own delivery from design through production.

- You embody our core values of Connect, Challenge, and Own. You build strong partnerships across teams, challenge conventional thinking to drive innovation, and take ownership of your work with a focus on delivering meaningful impact and excellence.

🍩 Benefits & perks (US Full-time employees)

- Generous PTO, plus company holidays

- Medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family

- Paid parental leave for all parents (16 weeks)

- Fertility and family planning support

- Early-detection cancer testing through Galleri https://www.galleri.com/partner/writer

- Flexible spending account and dependent FSA options

- Health savings account for eligible plans with company contribution

- Annual work-life stipends for:

- Wellness stipend for gym, massage/chiropractor, personal training, etc.

- Learning and development stipend

- Company-wide off-sites and team off-sites

- Competitive compensation, company stock options and 401k

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
