About the Role

Aigeon.ai is an exciting new product built by NewsBreak — the leading platform for local news and information serving tens of millions of users across the United States. Aigeon is reimagining the newsletter and content-monetization space via AI: simplifying creation, audience growth, and monetization of newsletters for content creators and small media brands. We’re now scaling our engineering team and seeking a Full Stack Engineer who loves building high-impact product and infrastructure, working across the stack in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain end-to-end features spanning frontend, backend and infrastructure — you’ll own new product experiences and the supporting platform.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Data, and ML teams to translate user needs into scalable, performant solutions.
• Build APIs, microservices, and backend systems that integrate AI models (for content generation, personalization, analytics) with our web and mobile experiences.
• Develop and ship responsive, polished UIs (web and possibly mobile) with clean architecture, high performance, and great UX.
• Ensure the system is secure, robust, scalable — think large-scale user-facing usage, data ingestion, analytics, multi-tenant architecture.
• Contribute to infrastructure decisions (cloud, containers/Kubernetes, CI/CD, monitoring, observability) and help build tooling & automation for engineering velocity.
• Drive code quality (automated tests, code reviews, documentation), mentor junior engineers, and help shape engineering best practices and culture.

Requirements

Required qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 3 years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful full-stack ownership (frontend backend).
• Strong proficiency in modern frontend frameworks (for example: React, TypeScript, Next.js, or equivalent) and backend languages/frameworks (for example: Python/Django/FastAPI, Go, Node.js/Express).
• Experience building RESTful and/or GraphQL APIs, designing database schemas (SQL or NoSQL) and working with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes or similar), CI/CD pipelines, monitoring/observability (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK).
• Strong problem-solving skills, sense of ownership and ability to drive features end-to-end with minimal oversight.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills: you’ll be working cross-functionally and sharing technical decisions with product and leadership teams.

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience working with AI/ML products (model serving, inference APIs, vector search, etc).
• Prior exposure to multi-tenant SaaS architectures, high-volume production systems, or content/media platforms.
• Experience with streaming data, event-driven architecture (Kafka, Pub/Sub), real-time analytics.
• Familiarity with infrastructure automation (Terraform, Pulumi) and “infrastructure as code”.
• Experience in early-stage startup or high-growth environment, comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration.
