Senior Software Engineer

Job description

SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER Location: New York, NY (Hybrid) | Type: Full-Time | Reports to: Head of Revenue ABOUT NOMIC Nomic builds AI agents and developer tools that power the built world. We help enterprise teams in architecture, engineering, and construction extract structured knowledge from decades of drawings, specs, and project files. Our platform combines embedding models, document parsing, and autonomous agents that reason over real-world data and take action in live environments. THE ROLE We're looking for a senior full-stack engineer to build product across the Nomic platform. You'll work on the interfaces, APIs, and backend systems that enterprise customers and developers use daily — from our web application to our Developer API. Most of your day-to-day coding will involve directing and managing AI coding agents. We're not interested in people who are curious about this — we need someone already doing it, with the architectural judgment to use it effectively. That means knowing how to decompose work for agents, reviewing output with a critical eye, maintaining codebase coherence when code is being generated at speed, and never letting velocity become an excuse for slop. The bar is engineering excellence: clean architecture, thoughtful abstractions, code that other people can work in. WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON - Product features end-to-end — UI through API through data layer - Backend services in Python and TypeScript - Frontend in React/TypeScript - APIs that serve both our product and external developers - Integration points with our AI and agent systems WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 5+ years of professional software engineering experience - Strong full-stack skills — you're comfortable owning frontend and backend - Production experience with Python and TypeScript - Active, intentional use of AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, etc.) — not as a novelty but as your primary workflow - Good instincts for API design, data modeling, and system architecture - You write code that's clear, tested, and easy to change — whether you typed it or an agent did - You care about the end-user experience, not just the implementation EVEN BETTER IF YOU HAVE: - Experience building developer-facing products or APIs - Familiarity with AI/ML systems — embeddings, retrieval, model integration - Background in enterprise software or B2B products WHAT WE OFFER - Competitive base salary and performance-based compensation - Equity participation - Medical, dental, and vision coverage - Flexible PTO - Hybrid NYC work model (3 days in office) - High-visibility role on a small team
