About the role
Founding Engineer role at Andco, a YC-funded startup building an operating layer for plaintiff law firms to accelerate and scale case workflows. Hands-on, end-to-end generalist engineering with emphasis on backend/system design and frontend work in React/TypeScript.
Responsibilities
- Design and ship core workflows for Andco 2.0 with the founders.
- Build reliable backend services, APIs, data models, and integrations for document-heavy workflows.
- Make system design decisions around queues, asynchronous work, permissions, auditability, performance, and failure handling.
- Build clear, fast product experiences in React/TypeScript and improve the frontend architecture as we grow.
- Talk with customers, turn ambiguous operational problems into product requirements, and carry solutions through production.
- Help establish the engineering foundation: architecture, testing, observability, developer tooling, and pragmatic team practices.
- Move between large projects and small improvements that make Andco better for law firms and our internal team.
Qualifications
- Strong generalist engineering ability and experience shipping production software across more than one layer of the stack.
- Solid backend and system design skills, including data modeling, APIs, reliability, and clear tradeoff thinking.
- Ability to build product UI in React/TypeScript or a similar modern frontend stack.
- Product judgment and comfort turning ambiguous customer needs into simple, maintainable solutions.
- Ownership in a fast-moving environment: you can scope work, make decisions, communicate tradeoffs, and finish what you start.
- Comfort with workflow-heavy B2B products where correctness, speed, and clarity matter.
- Thoughtful use of AI tooling to move faster while maintaining quality.
