We’re Koast, on a mission to revolutionize Meta media buying with AI-powered workflows. We’re looking for a talented Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join our growing engineering team (currently 2 people!). As the third member of our technical team, you’ll take full ownership of core systems, from data models to production deployments. You’ll play a crucial role in building features that power sophisticated ad campaigns reaching millions of people globally.
What You’ll Do Daily
-
Backend Mastery
Architect, implement, and operate our Node.js + TypeScript services – data models through CI/CD – without hand-holding. -
Front-End Craftsmanship
Ship React components using hooks and state libs, nail pixel-perfect UIs, and squash cross-browser quirks. -
LLM Feature Integration
Design prompts, manage streaming, and build rate-limit/cost controls around GPT-class models. -
End to End Feature Lifecycle
Take features from spec → prototype → code → deploy → monitor, owning each step without hand-holding.
Must-Have Technical Experience
-
Node.js & TypeScript (5+ yrs) — you’ve owned production services from spec to scale.
-
React (3+ yrs) — modern hooks, state libs, and deep browser-debug skills.
-
End-to-End Product Mindset — you think in features, not tickets, and drive them all the way home.
-
LLM-Powered Features — hands-on prompt design, streaming integrations, and cost/rate-limit handling.
-
AI-Augmented Dev — Copilot/Cursor (or similar) are your daily co-pilots.
Â
Nice-to-Have (Will Make Us Smile)
-
NestJS or another opinionated Node framework
-
Next.js / React Server Components
-
Dev-ex tooling: GitHub Actions, automated testing, observability, profiling
-
Design-system fluency: Tailwind, MUI, Chakra, or custom component libs
