At Normal, every employee has the chance to make a significant impact, and build a career that is anything but Normal!

Your Role in Our Mission

As a Full-Stack Engineer at Normal Computing, you will play a key role in developing and maintaining our cutting-edge full-stack AI platform. You will be responsible for creating innovative, scalable, and high-performing software solutions that meet both the needs of our customers and the company's strategic objectives.

We call this a full-stack role because you will need to understand how your decisions impact our product from end-to-end, though your day to day work will be backend heavy.

Among other things, it will involve:

  • Designing, building, and operating the backend components required for an enterprise SaaS product: everything from CI / CD, authn / authz, alerting, and monitoring to database integration, internal library development, etc.

  • Collaborating with team members and other stakeholders on various aspects of the project: brainstorming, technical design, and review.

  • Helping our MLE team shape their vision so that it can be realized for our clients.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product managers, designers, and other engineers, to translate business requirements into technical solutions.

  • Optimize and enhance the performance, security, and maintainability of our software systems and infrastructure.

  • Stay informed of the latest industry trends and technologies, contributing to the continuous improvement and innovation of our platform.

  • Mentor and guide junior colleagues, fostering a collaborative, growth-oriented environment that encourages knowledge sharing and professional development.

What Makes You A Great Fit:

  • Startup experience, growing with an engineering org from around 2 engineers to 25+.

  • An affinity for building and operating the foundational components of a product tech stack.

  • A bias toward fast iteration and experimentation over perfectionism. 

  • Experience with Python and PostgreSQL.

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills. (We are a partially distributed company.)

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

  • 4+ years of experience in full-stack software development, with a strong emphasis on web applications and cloud computing.

  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, or similar, and experience with modern frontend frameworks (React).

  • Solid understanding of backend technologies and frameworks, we use FastAPI.

  • Experience with database systems (SQL/NoSQL, embeddings) and data storage solutions.

  • Knowledge of containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and any cloud platform like GCP, AWS, Azure.

  • Strong understanding of software development best practices, such as version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, testing, and code reviews.

  • Leadership and collaboration qualities, enthusiasm for real-world, responsible impact

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot and optimize complex systems.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
