SDE 2/3 (Full Stack)

Gushwork is reinventing how businesses get discovered online. We're an agentic AI startup that helps B2B companies show up in AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity - by building a content engine on websites designed to attract AI visitors alongside human visitors.

We're a US and Bengaluru-based company that's raised over $11M from top-tier global VCs including Lightspeed (backers of Anthropic, Grafana, Mistral), SIG, B Capital & Beenext. While search behavior is rapidly shifting toward AI, most B2B companies are being left behind. We're changing that.

We're at an exciting inflection point - moving fast, solving hard problems, and building technology that's becoming critical infrastructure as AI reshapes how buyers find solutions. If you want to work on challenging problems with a talented team in a high-growth environment, we'd love to meet you.

More about the role below - if you feel it's a fit, we are excited to meet you!

what you'll do

• help build and ship next-generation features on our platform - ai-led content research, web page generation and ai-led content updates

• manage ui applications and infrastructure for backend services across ecs, step functions, lambdas, etc.

• keep systems performant, robust, and reliable through last-mile performance tuning, observability, and monitoring

• collaborate with product and design teams to understand problems and propose technical solutions

• write clear docs and runbooks for systems and processes

why we'll like you

fullstack ownership

you have shipped production features that span a modern web UI and backend APIs, not only one layer

you are comfortable owning a bet from ticket to production - scoping, implementation, monitoring, and iteration

you can hold UI, API contracts, data model, and deployment in mind at once without losing the customer outcome

product minded

you tie technical work to customer and roadmap impact - you ask when and why is unclear instead of guessing

you prefer small, reviewable PRs and measurable rollout over large surprise diffs

ai native

you have built or operated software where LLMs or AI pipelines are part of the product path - code generation, orchestration, evals, cost, testability and reliability included

you care about quality, cost, and failure modes of AI-assisted flows (latency, retries, evals, human-in-the-loop where needed)

fullstack capabilities

you have worked on Node.js and/or Python, Next and/or React in production at meaningful traffic or data volume

you are comfortable working on frontend, backend, and infrastructure across the stack, without reservations

you know how to maintain reliable systems while shipping fast - observability (e.g. Sentry), sane defaults, and pragmatic tradeoffs

you know how to build and ship ci/cd pipelines

craft

you treat and nurture your code like a piece of art, with the right balance of simplicity and complexity, without sacrificing speed

you have a high bias to action (run those POCs with cursor/claude code), and a low bias to over-engineering

human

you build trust with PMs, designers, and engineers - async updates in Slack, threads not @channel noise

you admit what you do not know and pull in the right owner (buddy, infra, security) early

you explain complex ideas clearly in writing - specs, PR descriptions, and docs

you hold 3+ years of experience

why you'll love us

• you'll be part of an early team at a fast-growing company, with a lot of impact

• you'll get to work with really smart and helpful people

• we constantly adopt the latest technologies and stay close to the latest ai innovations

• opportunity to influence the direction of the product and engineering culture

• flexible PTO policy

• unlimited ai usage

• plus cool swag, a stocked pantry, and other benefits
