Software Engineer, Web

Job description

[FieldAI](http://www.fieldai.com)’s Irvine team is where embodied AI meets real robots, real sensors, and real field deployments. Based in the heart of Southern California’s robotics ecosystem, we build risk-aware, reliable, field-ready AI systems that solve the hardest problems in robotics and unlock the full potential of embodied intelligence. If you want your work to ship, get tested on hardware, and improve through real deployments, Irvine is the place. We go beyond typical data-driven approaches or pure transformer-only architectures, combining rigorous engineering with learning systems proven in globally deployed solutions that deliver results today and get better every time our robots run in the field. ### What You'll Do: - Design, build, and own full-stack web applications from development through production - Develop backend services and APIs using Node.js (TypeScript) and Python where appropriate - Build responsive, high-performance frontends using React - Design clean, scalable APIs and data models - Work with large, complex datasets and optimize data flow across systems - Collaborate closely with product, AI, and engineering teams to deliver customer-facing features - Debug and resolve issues across frontend, backend, and production environments - Improve system performance, reliability, and developer workflows - Contribute to code quality through reviews, testing, and shared engineering practices ### What You Bring: - 5–10+ years of experience building and shipping production web applications - Strong proficiency in TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.js, and React - Experience designing and building full-stack systems (APIs, services, frontend) - Solid understanding of system design, scalability, and performance tradeoffs - Experience working with databases such as MongoDB, Redis, or similar - Experience deploying and operating applications in AWS or similar cloud environments - Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work across the stack - Effective communication and collaboration skills in cross-functional environments ### What Sets You Apart: - Experience building data-heavy or real-time web applications - Experience integrating with external APIs and third-party platforms - Familiarity with monorepo architectures (Nx, Lerna) - Experience building and scaling production applications used by external customers - Experience improving performance, reliability, and developer workflows in web systems
