What success looks like:

We believe in setting our team up to thrive.

• First 30 daysShip to production in your first week and keep shippingBuild working context on our stack, the migrations in flight, and how the team operatesLand a self-contained improvement that makes your own or your team’s workflow fasterFirst 90 daysYou own a meaningful area of the product or platform and teammates rely on you for itYou’ve shipped customer-facing AI functionality that real studios are usingFirst 6 monthsYou’re a trusted senior voice on the team, and peers seek out your reviews and inputTooling or safety nets you’ve built are part of how the team ships every day

What we're looking for:

• 5+ years of software engineering experience in most cases, though we care more about evidence than years
• Full-stack contributor. Deep expertise somewhere is great, but everyone here contributes across the stack. If you only want to work in one layer, this isn’t the role
• A JavaScript and TypeScript background. You can come from an adjacent ecosystem, but you should be fluent and happy in JS/TS
• AI-native. You use AI tooling heavily in your daily work, beyond autocomplete. Experience building agentic workflows, evals, or automation is a strong plus
• Meaningful contributions to a migration or large-scale refactor
• Hands-on experience with production reliability: observability, alerting, debugging live issues
• A habit of making your team better through code review, pairing, and sharing what you learn
• Strong product judgment: you can take an ambiguous problem, scope it pragmatically, and ship in small increments
• Comfort operating with high autonomy and low process

Bonus:

• You care about wellness and fitness personally
• You’ve built for entrepreneurs or small business owners, or you’ve been one yourself
• You’ve worked at a high-growth startup

You Should Apply If

• You want to build for small business owners and care about how your work shows up in their day to day
• You want to grow as a hands-on IC
• You are drawn to the mission of making wellness more accessible

You May Not Want to Apply If

• You’re looking for a path into people management in the next 12 to 18 months
• You want to work in one layer of the stack only
• You see AI tooling as a nice-to-have rather than a core part of how you work
• You want clearly scoped tickets, a defined roadmap, and a design doc before code
• You want a slower pace or a more established later-stage environment

What We Offer:

• Ownership and Opportunity for Advancement
• Competitive Salary and Stock Options
• Unlimited PTO: our policy is designed to give you the flexibility to rest, recharge, and take care of personal needs — while staying aligned with your team and responsibilities.
• Medical, dental and vision health insurance
• Fitness Class Reimbursement: we’re committed to supporting both employee wellness and our industry relationships. As an Arketa employee we see movement as opportunity.
• Parental Leave Policy

For this role, the estimated annual base salary is up to $140,000- $180,000, depending on experience and qualifications. In addition to base pay, we offer equity. We believe in compensating fairly and transparently, and we’re happy to provide more detail during the interview process.

Compensation: $140K - $180K
