Software Engineer - Full Stack

Responsibilities

• Own features from technical scoping through deployment and post-launch iteration — not just build them, but make sure they work
• Design and extend schemas, APIs, and business logic to support new product capabilities

Ship high-quality product code across the stack

• Incorporate real user feedback — from data, direct user contact, or your own product instincts — to improve what you've shipped
• Work closely with ML researchers to turn research services to production, making them consumable for product development
• Collaborate across design, product, and engineering to figure out what to build, not just how
• Identify and advocate for improvements to development, testing, and deployment practices

Preferred

• Familiarity with our stack: NextJS, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, ShadCN, HonoJS, Postgres, Vitest
• Experience with Supabase or Vercel's AI SDK
• You've shipped without PM or design support — determined what to build by talking to users or looking at data

About the Role

We're looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer to own features end-to-end across Arena's platform — from understanding the problem, through designing and building the solution, to shipping it, measuring its impact, and iterating. This is a hands-on IC role for someone who writes code every day, cares deeply about what happens after launch, and is excited to shape how people interact with cutting-edge AI.

You’ll have

• 3+ years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on enterprise or developer-facing product development
• Experience building user-facing web applications spanning frontend, backend/API, and database — in any stack. You understand the request lifecycle across layers
• Clear, concise communication — you explain technical decisions well, distinguish your work from the team's, and proactively share context
• Evidence of shipping and iterating — you can describe the full arc of a feature you owned: problem, solution, code, what happened after launch, and what you'd change now
• A product engineering identity — you care about whether the thing you built actually worked for users, not just whether the code was clean
• Genuine curiosity about AI evaluation and Arena's mission — you've looked at the product and can articulate why this domain matters to you

We offer competitive compensation aligned to the markets where our team members are based. The compensation range for each role is listed on its posting and will depend on the candidate's experience and work location.
