Who we’re looking for…    Role :

  • Staff Full Stack Engineer Team : Engineering Reports To : Head of Engineering Location : Knit’s NYC office (Hybrid) Operating hours : Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm EST.

Travel :

  • This role will occasionally be expected to travel for in-person internal working sessions, and our once per year US All Team Summit. [To be less than 15%]  A little about us…  Knit is building the agentic AI platform that helps enterprise brands run end‑to‑end consumer research.
  • We orchestrate specialized AI agents for surveys, data collection, analysis, and reporting, delivering decision-grade insights to Fortune 1000 brands in hours, not weeks.
  • In under two years, we’ve partnered with 50+ leading enterprise brands, including Amazon, Mars , NASCAR , JBL , ESPN , and Paramount.
  • Knit has grown 500% in the last 12 months and raised $30.6M to date, including a $16.1M Series A in July 2025 .
  • Here are example case studies that demonstrate the value of our platform.
  • A product demo can be found here .
  • Overview We’re building our foundational NYC engineering team from scratch and looking for exceptional builders who are resourceful, deeply technical, and thrive in high-ownership environments.
  • As one of the first in-house engineers, you’ll shape the core of our platform and the culture of a team that will scale to 20+ over the next 18 months.
  • You’ll build and orchestrate AI agents, pioneer new UX paradigms, and tackle some of the hardest problems in applied AI with autonomy and end-to-end ownership.
  • Business Impact | What you will own…  Own 0→1 and 1→N features across the stack, from design docs to building high-throughput data pipelines and scalable FastAPI services.
  • Architect and own the core agent orchestration engine, designing complex, multi‑agent LLM workflows (routing, tool‑use, memory, evaluation) with deterministic fallbacks, guardrails, and auditable actions required by enterprise users.
  • Build AI‑native, human‑in‑the‑loop UIs .
  • Craft React / Next.js interfaces that let users collaborate safely with agents, with transparency and explainability by design.
  • Develop the "factory for the factory".
  • Build our experimentation platform :

  • CI / CD for prompts and agents, offline / online evals, drift detection, safety layers, and rollout controls.
  • Ship fast, safely.
  • You’ll instrument everything for reliability, write concise design docs, add robust tests, and build dashboards and alerts for features you launch.
  • Partner cross‑functionally with Product, AI, Design, CS; talk to customers and SMEs, and turn ambiguous problems into shipped product.
  • Obsess over performance, optimizing for latency across the system :

  • caching, model selection, distillation, batching, vector search, and infrastructure efficiency (GPU / CPU).
  • Operate what you build.
  • This includes on‑call ownership, leading incident response, and driving learning through blameless postmortems.
  • Level-up the team around you.
  • Mentor and collaborate with other engineers to help make the entire team better.
  • Our Stack Frontend :

  • React, Next.js Backend : Python, FastAPI Data / ML : MongoDB, S3, Redis; Pinecone Infra : AWS, Docker, Kubernetes; CI / CD with GitHub Actions.
  • Messaging :

  • SQS; event‑driven pipelines.
  • This role is for you if...
  • You’re a 0 → 1 builder who thrives in ambiguity and has shipped products from scratch at a startup or in a hyper-growth phase.
  • You've seen both - early-stage hustle and later-stage scale and know how to build for it.
  • You’re a systems thinker with deep technical chops :

  • you design clear architectures and write clean, tested Python and TypeScript.
  • You think like an owner :

  • you spot problems, propose solutions, and build them without waiting for perfect specs.
  • Your impact is measured in business outcomes.
  • You use AI as leverage.
  • Tools like Cursor, Copilot, or Claude Code are integral to your workflow, helping you ship faster while maintaining a high standard for correctness.
  • You believe speed and quality aren’t opposites and can articulate the tradeoffs you make.
  • You communicate crisply.
  • You share your ideas effectively and thrive in tight feedback loops with product, design, and customers.
  • You’ve got grit :

  • hard problems energize you, context switching doesn’t scare you, and you’re comfortable deleting code.
  • This role is NOT for you if...
  • You see a hard line between "frontend," "backend," and "product." You are uncomfortable with ambiguity, rapid context-switching, and dynamic priorities.
  • You are looking for a predictable, 9-to-5 role.
  • Required Skills & Experiences Experience with LLM / agent systems, evals, and prompt tooling; RAG, embeddings, vector dbs.
  • Deep knowledge of event‑driven systems, streaming, and workflow engines.
  • Expertise in observability (OpenTelemetry / Prometheus / Datadog), feature flagging, or A / B platforms.
  • Background in enterprise security and compliance (SOC 2, GDPR) Bias to action :

  • short specs, small PRs, daily deploys.
  • In-person collaboration :

  • we’re building the NYC hub together; whiteboards >
  • long threads.

    High ownership :

  • you’ll touch product, talk to customers, and influence the roadmap.
  • Benefits Upon joining the Knit team in this foundational role, you will receive a competitive salary, Equity Options, Healthcare (medical, dental, and vision), and Additional Coverage, a company laptop and one-time, onboarding Technology Stipend, a 401(k) with company match, flexible time-off, hybrid working, and more!
  • Salary In accordance with New York pay transparency requirements, the expected base salary range for this role is $250,000–$300,000 annually; final compensation will be determined based on the candidate’s level, experience, and qualifications upon joining Knit.     Powered by JazzHR
