About the role
Mercura ( YC W25 ) helps the companies that build the real world move at software speed, automating the back-office work that runs the $12 trillion industry behind every hospital, school, and power plant. We started with one of their biggest bottlenecks - turning messy technical requests into accurate quotes - and grew to $2M ARR in our first year. With a team of 16, we're now targeting $10M by the end of 2026 as well as our expansion into the US.
About the role
As a Full-Stack Engineer , you will play a key role in building AI systems end-to-end. This is a fast-paced, hands-on role for engineers with high agency , strong technical depth and founder mindset. We’re looking for experienced builders with a strong product mindset and a track record of shipping complex web applications.
If you are a builder who thrives at the intersection of full-stack development and AI - this is your opportunity to working alongside a team of stellar engineers and shape how users interact with AI.
What you will be working on
-
Core Engineering : Design and build high-performance, reliable systems that power Mercura’s AI products and ensure scalability.
-
End-to-End Ownership : Own features end-to-end from architecture and implementation to deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
-
Backend & APIs : Develop scalable APIs and backend systems that support evolving AI capabilities and product growth.
-
Product Engineering : Work closely with users and the product team to translate real-world workflows into clear product and engineering decisions.
-
Rapid Iteration : Ship improvements quickly through fast iteration cycles and pragmatic engineering decisions.
-
AI Integration : Contribute to LLM engineering and AI systems, collaborating with the team on how models are integrated into the product.
-
Technical Architecture : Help shape the overall system architecture, deployment strategy, and engineering tooling across the stack.
What we offer:
-
Steepest possible learning curve: There's no faster way to grow than building a company from scratch. You'll be thrown into the cold water, do things no one has done before, and have founder-like freedom in your domain. Over five Mercura alumni have gone on to found their own companies and raise millions after their time with us.
-
Build something with real-world impact : We ship code that directly helps a massive, yet overlooked manual industry run more efficiently and sustainably. With us, you can work on AI that contributes to economic growth and stability on a huge scale.
-
Ownership over comfort: You own a real area end to end. No one stands between you and your problem. It's uncomfortable at times, and that's exactly why you'll grow faster here than in any normal job.
