Senior Full Stack Engineer (Innovation & Prototyping) - 26052001
Our client is a fast-growing technology company building internal AI-powered products for industries including railroads, manufacturing, energy, and insurance. They work with enterprise customers across the US and are building a distributed product engineering organization across the US, India, and Eastern Europe.
We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer who loves building, experimenting, and solving ambiguous problems. This is not a traditional delivery-focused engineering role. It’s a high-autonomy position centered around rapid prototyping, product innovation, and AI-assisted development.
You’ll take high-level concepts and quickly turn them into interactive demos, working prototypes, and scalable technical foundations. You’ll collaborate closely with product, design, and engineering leadership to explore new ideas, validate user experiences, and shape how our products evolve.
This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy starting things, moving quickly, and iterating with feedback — without spending months inside rigid delivery cycles.
What You’ll Do
Build end-to-end prototypes and product experiences across frontend and backend
Rapidly turn high-level concepts, user goals, and lightweight requirements into working software
Explore new interaction patterns and innovative UI experiences
Prototype quickly, gather feedback, iterate, and refine
Translate experimental ideas into scalable technical approaches
Use AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate development workflows
Work closely with product managers, designers, architects, and engineering leadership
Help shape product direction through technical and UX recommendations
Create the initial 10–30% of implementation and architecture before handing projects to the broader engineering team for full-scale delivery
Balance speed, usability, scalability, and technical quality
How This Role Works
This role operates inside a rapid innovation cycle.
You’ll receive:
high-level product concepts,
user goals,
design direction,
and problem statements.
From there, you’ll independently:
explore solutions,
prototype ideas,
suggest approaches,
and demonstrate working concepts quickly.
We value rapid experimentation, fast feedback loops, and practical problem solving over excessive process or long specification cycles.
Once concepts are validated, the broader engineering organization takes over long-term implementation and scaling.

What We’re Looking For
5+ years of full stack engineering experience
Strong experience with React and TypeScript
Experience building modern APIs and scalable web applications
Comfortable working with ambiguity and incomplete requirements
Strong product thinking and user-focused problem solving
Ability to move quickly while maintaining practical engineering quality
Experience using AI coding assistants and AI-assisted development workflows
Self-directed mindset with strong ownership and initiative
Comfortable making technical decisions independently and proposing solutions proactively
Strong communication and collaboration skills in remote environments
Strong Backgrounds Include
Product companies
Startup environments
Digital agencies
Technology consulting firms
Innovation-focused engineering teams
Especially engineers who are used to:
rapid iteration,
prototyping,
client or product ambiguity,
and balancing speed with practicality.
What Success Looks Like
Product ideas quickly become interactive demos and working prototypes
User feedback loops happen rapidly
New concepts move efficiently from experimentation into scalable implementation
Engineering and product teams gain confidence in technical direction faster
Innovation cycles stay fast, practical, and user-focused
Why This Role Is Interesting
High autonomy and ownership
Constant variety of technical and product challenges
Opportunity to shape product direction early
AI-native engineering environment
Fast-moving startup culture
Focus on innovation and creation instead of long delivery cycles
