Software Engineer, Talent

Fluidstack is building the infrastructure for abundant intelligence, partnering with top AI labs and enterprises to unlock compute at high speeds. The Software Engineer role focuses on developing internal tools and integrations to enhance the talent lifecycle, improving the efficiency of recruiters and hiring managers while automating various HR processes.

Responsibilities:

• Own the talent tooling roadmap end-to-end: from scoping with Recruiting and People Ops to design, implementation, and production deployment
• Build and maintain integrations: with tools like Ashby, Rippling, and adjacent HR tech tools, surfacing data where it's needed and eliminating manual work
• Design and ship internal recruiting workflows: candidate pipeline dashboards, interview scheduling automation, offer letter generation, headcount planning views, and onboarding checklists
• Instrument the talent funnel: build analytics surfaces that give recruiting and leadership real-time visibility into time-to-fill, offer acceptance rates, funnel conversion, and retention signals
• Automate people ops toil: provisioning flows, new hire onboarding, e-signature routing, and cross-system data sync between ATS, HRIS, and IT systems
• Drive AI-assisted recruiting features: intelligent candidate matching, automated scorecard summarization, JD drafting tools, and sourcing enrichment pipelines
• Collaborate directly with recruiters and People Ops: identify the highest-leverage problems and translate them into well-scoped engineering solutions
• Maintain engineering quality: write production-grade TypeScript, enforce type safety and test coverage, and contribute to shared frontend/backend infrastructure

Requirements:

• 3+ years of full-stack software engineering experience, with production TypeScript/React shipped to real users
• Strong backend skills: REST and/or GraphQL API design, background jobs, webhook handling, and database modeling (Postgres or equivalent)
• Demonstrated experience integrating with third-party SaaS APIs - ATS (Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever), HRIS (Rippling, BambooHR, Workday), or comparable platforms
• Comfortable owning a project end-to-end: requirements gathering, technical design, implementation, deployment (Vercel or equivalent), and iteration
• Ability to work in ambiguous problem spaces: translating operational pain points into clean engineering abstractions without over-engineering
• Fluency with modern React patterns: hooks, context, server components, form state management, and accessible UI
• Hands-on experience building on top of the Ashby API or Rippling API specifically
• Prior work in People Tech, HR automation, or internal tooling at a high-growth startup
• Familiarity with headcount planning tools and comp band data models
• Experience building AI-assisted productivity tools - LLM-backed summarization, classification, or recommendation features
• Exposure to identity and access provisioning (SCIM, SSO/SAML flows, automated onboarding/offboarding)
• Prior work with workflow/automation frameworks (Zapier, n8n, Temporal) and knowing when to use them vs. build custom
• Track record of working directly with non-technical stakeholders and shipping tools they actually use
