Glade.ai is building the future of AI-powered automation for service businesses — transforming how legal, insurance, and professional service industries scale and operate. Our platform automates workflows, optimizes processes, and helps businesses deliver more value, faster.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a talented Software Engineer with at least 2+ years of professional experience to join our core product engineering team. This is a hands-on, full-stack engineering role where you’ll work directly on high-impact features, shaping the core platform that powers Glade’s AI-driven automation.
As part of a fast-growing company, you’ll be building at startup speed, solving complex technical challenges, and positioning yourself for rapid career growth and leadership opportunities as we scale.
What You’ll Do
Design, build, and ship scalable, high-performance applications in a modern TypeScript/React/Node.js stack.
Collaborate closely with product, design, and fellow engineers to deliver impactful features end-to-end.
Contribute to architecture decisions and help evolve our codebase for speed, reliability, and maintainability.
Write clean, testable code and champion best engineering practices.
Learn quickly, iterate quickly, and have a direct impact on product direction.
2+ years of experience as a software engineer building production-grade web applications.
Strong skills using TypeScript/React/CSS on the frontend, and experience with modern TypeScript/Node.js/PostgreSQL-based backends.
Solid understanding of software design, APIs, and scalable system architecture.
Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment.
Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
Put yourself in our shoes. We get over 300+ applicants / week. We want to spend time with the right candidates. During your interview process you will meet at least 3 other engineers and managers within Glade. So putting your best foot forward by building something unique is the fastest way to being the right candidate.
You are the right candidate if:
You have looked at what we do on our website with great detail and vibe coded a small feature - however tiny that would either help our customers: the law firms that use Glade or their Clients that are served on the Glade platform.
The feature you build as a Software Engineer must be accessible via Claude links or hosted by you on your own server.
Use of LLMs and Cursor is highly encouraged.
Build bits of the UI or interesting use of LLModels to extract or modify data - you can make it as interesting as you need. Use your imagination and build something fun and cool.
Career Acceleration: Our rapid growth means outsized opportunities for advancement.
Impact: Your work will directly shape a core AI platform used by real businesses every day.
Ownership: Significant equity and influence over product decisions.
Mission: Build the future of automation for industries ready to transform.
