Software Engineer Location: Menlo Park, CA (Remote) Employment Type: Full-Time Compensation: Competitive salary + equity About Glade.ai 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 3+ 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. What We’re Looking For 3+ 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. How to stand out in this interview application process: 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: Solve a real or plausible problem for law firms, legal teams, or their clients. Show your own product judgment. We want to understand why you built this, what tradeoffs you made, and how you decided what mattered. Demonstrate engineering thinking. We care about structure, state management, data modeling, edge cases, and how the feature could evolve if it became part of a real product. Be accessible outside of Claude Artifacts. Please host it, share a repo, or provide a deployed link so we can see how you package and present your work. As a Sr. Engineer, if you have presented a brown bag to your peers - you could present that in an abridged form to one of your interview pairs. You are welcome to use AI tools while building. In fact, we expect great engineers to use them. But the final result should not feel like a default generated demo. It should reflect your taste, your judgment, and your ability to turn an ambiguous product idea into something useful. We will be looking less at the size of what you build and more at the quality of your decisions. A small, thoughtful feature is better than a large, generic demo.
