Senior Fullstack Engineer

Workera is seeking a Senior Fullstack Engineer to architect and own backend systems for their AI-native platform. This role focuses on backend operations while also contributing to the frontend using Phoenix and React, within a remote-first environment.

• Architect and own backend systems that are robust, performant, and built to scale with a growing enterprise customer base
• Lead full projects end-to-end — owning scoping, architecture, build, and rollout — within a small autonomous team
• Ship AI-powered product features using agentic coding workflows and LLM integrations as a core part of how you build
• Identify and drive cross-team technical initiatives that advance Workera’s AI-first engineering organization
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues throughout the full stack with speed and confidence
• Contribute on the frontend (Phoenix + React) when needed, bringing a full-stack perspective to backend-led ownership

• 7+ years of software engineering experience with a strong backend specialization in a SaaS or startup environment
• Practical experience building scalable backend systems top to bottom — ideally in Elixir/Phoenix/PostgreSQL; Go, Erlang, or Clojure backgrounds also considered
• Deep expertise delivering platform-critical, high-stakes backend projects where robustness, performance, and troubleshooting are non-negotiable
• Day-to-day use of AI tools to enhance personal productivity; bonus for experience building user-facing GenAI features
• Strong user and customer orientation — you understand and optimize user flows, not just code
• Willingness and ability to contribute on the frontend when needed
• 2+ years working with a fully remote, async team
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
• Comfort working in an AI-first environment where intelligent automation and experimentation are part of daily operations
• Strong systems thinking — ability to see how your backend work connects to a broader AI-driven platform
