Starlight | Senior Full-Stack Engineer | REMOTE (US), NYC preferred

I’m the Head of Engineering at Starlight, and we’re hiring a senior full-stack engineer.
We build software that helps financial institutions connect people with government benefits they’re eligible for. More than $100B in benefits go unclaimed every year because the underlying systems are fragmented and difficult to navigate. We’re trying to change that.
Our engineering team is intentionally small, so this is a high-ownership role. You’ll work across the stack, help shape our architecture and engineering culture, and have significant influence over how and what we build.
One area I’m especially excited about is building an “AI-first” engineering organization. I put that in quotes intentionally because I don’t think the industry has figured out exactly what it means yet—and neither have we. I want this person to help me figure it out.
I’ll encourage experimentation and use of AI, and we’ll have lots of conversations about what works and what doesn’t. But I’m not setting token quotas or mandating that people use AI for everything. I care much more about figuring out where it genuinely makes us better.
I’m actively involved in the hiring process and happy to answer questions about the team, role, or company.
