About this role
Writer is seeking an experienced fullstack software engineer to join our growing team building the future of AI-assisted, collaborative software development. In this role, you’ll work on a cutting-edge low-code platform that combines full-code, no-code and generative AI to create frontends, workflows, and backends.
We're looking for someone with strong Python expertise, frontend experience (preferably Vue + TypeScript), and a passion for developer tools and infrastructure. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in high-impact, cross-functional environments and is excited to help define best practices and technical vision for our internal and user-facing tools.
As a part of this team, you’ll contribute to develop Writer’s Agent Builder, a low-code tool that combines a UI builder, a workflow builder and a Python interpreter into a cloud-based IDE. The upstream project is the Writer Framework, which is an open source that can be self-hosted: https://github.com/writer/writer-framework
♀️ Your responsibilities:
Design and build core components of our low-code UI builder and no-code workflow builder using Python and Vue
Define and enforce backend engineering standards including typing, linting, testing, and code organization
Integrate and maintain AI-powered agent tooling to support prompt-based UI and backend generation
Collaborate on infrastructure and dev tooling, helping to shape our internal developer experience and CI/CD pipelines
Work with the design and product teams to deliver collaboration features such as commenting, notifications, and real-time updates
Contribute to both backend and frontend codebases; blur the line between FE and BE to deliver holistic solutions
Integrate third-party APIs, AI providers, and logging/observability tools as needed
⭐ Is this you?
Minimum 5+ years of experience in full stack software engineering
Expert-level knowledge of Python, especially in building production systems (Mypy, Pydantic, type hinting, Pytest, etc.)
Experience with Vue.js and TypeScript, or a willingness to pick up Vue quickly if coming from React
Strong grasp of web performance, frontend testing, and browser architecture
Experience integrating REST APIs, OAuth, and ideally AI services
Familiarity with CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code (basic YAML is a plus), and developer tooling
You value collaboration, and you’ve helped teams adopt technical best practices in the past
Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and thinking several steps ahead
Bonus. If you’ve built devtools, no-code platforms, AI-powered interfaces, or contributed to open source, please share them!
Note: We are open to both front end and backend leaning profiles for this role. 5 years experience is minimum experience, but we are open to seniority (senior, staff, senior staff, etc).
