Senior Software Engineer

About the role

ABOUT ARKETA

Arketa is building the operating system for modern fitness and wellness. Our mission is to make wellness more accessible by empowering studios and wellness entrepreneurs to grow beyond in-person classes. We provide a powerful, all-in-one platform to manage and scale hybrid wellness businesses, whether online, in-person, or both.

With Arketa, studios can manage schedules, accept bookings and payments, build on-demand video libraries, host retreats, run automated marketing, and launch fully branded apps and websites. We make it simple for founders to deliver a seamless, professional experience across every customer touchpoint. We've raised $15M in Series A funding and are growing quickly. It's a unique moment to join us. We're building a category-defining company in a fast-moving space, and we're looking for a leader who is excited to help shape what world-class partner support looks like in the wellness category.

About the Role

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to build AI products our customers can feel, and to make the team around you faster while you do it.

Your first big surface is a customer-facing AI product that takes meaningful operational work off a studio owner's plate and helps them grow. Alongside that, you'll help modernize core parts of our architecture, and build the agentic loops, CI, and observability that let a small team ship at a fast pace.

This is a product engineering role first. Internal tooling and developer experience are how you multiply the team, not the destination. Our customers are small business owners whose livelihoods depend on what you ship, so the feedback loop is short and the stakes are real.

ABOUT THE TEAM

You’ll join a small, senior, fully distributed engineering team. We operate with high autonomy and very little process. You can form a hypothesis, ship a small experiment, measure it, and iterate without waiting for permission.

We’re an outlier in our industry in how aggressively we use AI tooling, and you’ll help shape how we use it. You’ll work closely with our Staff engineers and engineering leaders, and you’ll support mid and junior engineers through code review and pairing.

We have a strong product market fit and are growing a lot. That means you get startup speed without startup precarity.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

- Build AI products that let studio operators automate their operations so they can focus on the parts of their business they’re most passionate about

- Build and improve agentic loops that strengthen the product, our codebase, and our ability to deliver for customers

- Own features end to end, from scoping an ambiguous customer problem to shipping and measuring it

- Contribute to simplifying our infrastructure and operations so both human and agent engineers move faster

- Strengthen our production safety nets: detecting, alerting on, and responding to issues

- Work across the stack (TypeScript, Node, NestJS, React, Postgres) to ship features and improvements daily
