About the role

Netic’s Gap Year Software Engineers join the product team for a year to build features that put AI in the hands of real businesses. This full-time role is for college students who want to take a year off school to work as an engineer, combining technical excellence with customer empathy to craft products that deliver immediate value to essential service industries.

Responsibilities

  • Build agentic products: Design, code, and ship full-stack features for Netic’s AI platform.
  • Co‑create with customers: Work closely with our customers, including on-site, to understand workflows, gather feedback, and turn pain points into features that stick.
  • Own end‑to‑end delivery: Drive projects from spec to production, handling data models, APIs, front‑end polish, and post‑launch iteration.
  • Ensure quality: Build, test, and monitor features in production to ensure reliability and performance.
  • Learn how a company is built: Sit in on sales calls and leadership meetings to see how a fast-growing startup wins customers, makes decisions, and builds a team.
  • Build your founder network: Get to know our board, investors, and leaders across tech—people who can advise you, back you, or co-found with you when you start your own company.

Qualifications

  • Proven builder: You’ve shipped real projects end-to-end, whether through school, internships, hackathons, or on your own.
  • Full‑stack foundations: Comfortable with React, TypeScript, and Python, or ready to pick them up fast.
  • AI experience (nice‑to‑have): Hands‑on with LLM APIs, embeddings, or RAG patterns—or hunger to learn fast.
  • Customer empathy: You care about the people who use what you build and want to work with them directly.
  • Founder‑level ambition: You want to start a company one day and want to learn how great companies are built first.
  • Excellent communicator: Able to explain technical trade‑offs to engineers and product decisions to customers.
