# Full Stack / Backend Software Engineer - Company: [Candidate Fyi]() - Location: United States - Remote: Yes - Team: Engineering - Employment type: Full Time - Salary: $95K – $115K - Posted: June 1, 2026 ## Job description **About candidate.fyi** candidate.fyi is the AI execution layer for talent operations. We build the infrastructure that powers interview scheduling, recruiting coordination, and candidate experience for companies like CoreWeave, Intercom, and Yelp - and we're doing it with a level of AI-nativeness that the legacy players in this space can't touch. We're a lean, high-conviction team growing fast without burning cash. Every person here has real ownership and real impact. We don't have layers of process - we ship, learn, and iterate. **The Role** We're looking for a backend-focused full stack engineer who thinks in systems, cares about product quality, and is genuinely excited to build with AI - not just alongside it. You'll work directly with the founding team on the core platform: the scheduling engine, our autonomous AI agents, and the integrations that connect [candidate.fyi](http://candidate.fyi) to enterprise ATS infrastructure. Your focus is backend - but you're comfortable enough on the frontend to own a feature all the way through. You'll also talk to customers directly, understanding their problems firsthand and using that to shape what you build. This isn't a ticket-execution role. We want someone who notices what's broken before being told, proposes solutions, and has opinions about how the product should work. **What You'll Do** * Build and scale backend services in Python and Django powering our scheduling, coordination, and AI agent infrastructure * Design and ship autonomous agents that handle real recruiting workflows - scheduling coordination, candidate communication, and handoff logic - with minimal human intervention * Design APIs that integrate with enterprise ATS systems and our React frontend * Ship AI-powered features using LLMs; we use Cursor heavily as a team and expect you to be comfortable working that way * Optimize database performance and query efficiency across a PostgreSQL backend handling complex scheduling logic * Talk directly with customers to understand pain points, validate solutions, and close the feedback loop between what's shipped and what's needed **What We're Looking For** * 2–3 years of hands-on Python and Django experience - this is non-negotiable * Solid PostgreSQL fundamentals: query optimization, schema design, indexing * Comfort with REST API design and integration patterns * Familiarity with TypeScript and React - you don't need to live on the frontend, but you shouldn't be afraid of it * Proficiency with AI coding tools; we're a Cursor shop and expect you to work the same way * Experience building or working with AI agents, LLM-powered workflows, or agentic systems is a strong plus * A product mindset: you think about the "why" behind what you're building, not just the "how" * Eastern timezone for overlap with the team **Why candidate.fyi** * Work side by side with the founding team - no layers, no middlemen * Talk directly with customers at companies like CoreWeave, Intercom, and Yelp and see the impact of your work firsthand * Small team, real ownership - no waiting six months to see your work in production * We're building toward fully autonomous recruiting agents, and you'll be central to that * Remote-friendly with full health benefits ## Apply [Apply on Candidate Fyi]() Canonical job page:
