About the role

Role Overview

Full-Stack Engineer I (early-career, rotational)

Formant is looking for an ambitious full-stack engineer to improve the platform’s reliability and usability for real customer deployments. The role starts with customer-facing support and reliability work, then gradually shifts toward core product and platform development as you build system context.

Responsibilities

Customer-facing engineering & reliability (initial focus)

Investigate and resolve high-priority production issues
Debug across the stack with guidance from senior engineers
Identify recurring issues and drive systemic fixes (not just one-offs)

Product & platform development

Build and improve features across the full stack (frontend, backend, infra)
Improve documentation, runbooks, and onboarding paths for common scenarios

Automation & AI-assisted support

Help build internal AI tooling (agents/chatbots) for common support workflows
Improve logs, metrics, and diagnostics to speed up issue detection and resolution
Proactively reduce support load by improving product and tooling

Ongoing learning

Explore unfamiliar codebases/technologies as needed

Requirements

0–3 years of professional software engineering experience (internships/co-ops/substantial projects count)
Strong fundamentals in computer science and software design
Pragmatic engineering judgment: know when to ship the fix vs. refactor
Comfortable using modern AI-assisted development tools (e.g., coding copilots, LLMs)
Comfortable with “unsexy” work: legacy code and tricky edge cases
Calm and communicative under pressure during production issues
Ownership mindset; follows through on problems
Evidence of work: GitHub/portfolio (link required)

Nice to Have

Excitement about accelerating work with AI tools
Interest in eventually moving toward product engineering, platform engineering, or customer-facing technical roles

Growth & Mentorship

Work closely with experienced engineers and product leaders
Get exposure to real production systems early
Increase ownership over time

Compensation & Benefits

$110K–$130K salary (depending on experience)
Equity in a Series A startup
Benefits and remote flexibility
