Full Stack Platform Engineer (SEATTLE ONLY)

Job description

**Our Commitment to Our Team** At Pipe17, our values aren’t just words on a wall. They’re how we operate every day. We are a high-performance team built around **ownership**, **urgency**, **curiosity**, and a strong **bias for action**. We set bold goals, hold ourselves accountable, and move fast to solve customer problems. Every team member owns their decisions and drives outcomes. No one waits for permission. We operate with **urgency**, but not recklessly. We focus on what matters most, take initiative, and course-correct quickly when needed. We value people who speak up, follow through, and take pride in their work. **Curiosity** is how we get better. We ask questions, challenge assumptions, and stay open to new ideas. We don’t default to “how it’s always been done.” We explore, test, and learn. That mindset helps us adapt quickly, solve harder problems, and continuously raise the bar. We also embrace **AI as a force multiplier**. We believe great operators don’t compete with AI - they partner with it. We use AI to move faster, think deeper, and remove friction from our work, while still applying human judgement, creativity, and context where it matters most. Thoughtful use of AI is part of how we scale ourselves and our impact. **Finally, teamwork** is at our core. We win together, support each other, and celebrate our shared victories. Collaboration across functions is a daily practice, not just something we talk about. We learn from each other, improve constantly, and rally around our mission: unify commerce after the buy button. If these values resonate with how you like to work, you’ll fit right in. # **Senior Full Stack Engineer (AI-Native Platform) (SEATTLE ONLY)** **Seattle, WA (On-site only); no sponsorship** ## **About Pipe17** Pipe17 is building the AI operating system for commerce.
