AI Full Stack Engineer

Tawkify is on a mission to redefine romantic matchmaking for the modern age. We're a profitable, established (10+ years) company generating millions in monthly revenue, and now we're poised to leverage the power of AI and LLMs to dramatically improve our service and scale.

Unlike most dating apps, Tawkify combines human connection with data-driven insights. Our team of matchmakers provides a personalized touch, but we also have a treasure trove of data – not just about people, but detailed feedback on every date, success rates, and relationship outcomes. This unique data is what will allow us to build AI solutions that were never possible before.

The Opportunity:

We're rebuilding our systems from the ground up to empower our matchmakers and unlock the full potential of AI. This isn't about slapping AI on top of an existing process – it's about rethinking our entire service delivery model.

We’re looking for two talented engineers to join our small (4-person) but impactful team:

  • Senior Software Engineer / Tech Lead: If you're a seasoned engineer who loves to code and guide architecture decisions, this is for you. You'll be responsible for ensuring our systems are scalable, well-designed, and maintainable without falling into the trap of over-engineering. You'll have significant autonomy and ownership over key architectural choices.
  • Junior Software Engineer: Got 1-2 years of experience and hungry to learn? This is a rare opportunity to work alongside experienced engineers while having a high degree of autonomy and impact. You’ll be writing production code from day one (seriously, you'll submit your first pull request by the end of day two).

What You’ll Do (Impact!):

  • Help design and build the next generation of our matchmaking platform.
  • Integrate and leverage AI models to automate tasks, enhance matchmaking precision, and surface insights.
  • Work with a modern tech stack (Typescript, Prisma, Postgres, tRPC), making critical decisions about technology choices.
  • Collaborate closely with matchmakers and the product team to understand their needs and build solutions that directly impact their work.
  • Contribute to a culture of high-quality code, testing, and continuous improvement.

Why You'll Love Working Here:

  • Massive Impact: Be a key player in transforming a proven business with AI.
  • Autonomy: You'll have real ownership over your work and a voice in the direction of the company.
  • Learning & Growth: Work with a talented team and rapidly expand your skills. For the junior role, we'll actively invest in your growth as an engineer.
  • Modern Tech: We embrace modern development practices and are committed to using the best tools for the job.
  • AI-Forward: We use AI-powered coding assistants (Cursor, GitHub CoPilot) daily and actively explore AI-driven solutions throughout our product. If you're a coding assistant power-user, you'll be right at home.
  • Remote-First Culture: We value work-life balance and offer a fully remote working environment (US-based).

We're Looking For:

  • Senior Engineer:
    • 5+ years of experience in software development.
    • Strong experience with Typescript.
    • Proven ability to design and build scalable systems.
    • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
    • Professional experience with AI/ML is a plus, but a passion for learning is essential.
  • Junior Engineer:
    • 1-2 years of experience in software development.
    • Solid foundation in programming principles.
    • Experience with Javascript/Typescript is preferred.
    • A strong desire to learn and grow.
    • Interest in AI and its potential to transform businesses.

Bonus Points:

  • Experience with romantic matchmaking (kidding... mostly!).
  • Passion for building products that improve people's lives.

Compensation:

  • Competitive salary (dependent on experience)
  • Equity
  • Comprehensive benefits package (health, dental, vision)
