Junior Software Engineer

Imagine websites that rebuild themselves on autopilot to sell more, convert better, and grow faster. At Moonshot AI, we’re making that happen — merging generative AI, large-scale data pipelines, and experimentation into a self-evolving web.

We’re a well-funded, very early-stage startup with a massive vision. Joining now means you’re not just an employee — you’re helping set the technical and cultural DNA of the company. If you’ve ever wanted the autonomy of a founder with the backing of top-tier investors, this is it.

What You’ll Build & Achieve

You’ll touch every part of the stack and learn how to build systems that scale to millions of users. This isn’t a “ticket taker” job — you’ll be writing real production code from day one.

• Build and ship features across our frontend dashboards and backend APIs.

• Work with massive data streams that track millions of web events daily.

• Help train and integrate AI models that suggest and test website improvements.

• Collaborate with senior engineers to design scalable systems and best practices.

• Prototype fast, test constantly, and learn how to turn ideas into shipped features in days.

• This role is about learning through impact — the more you contribute, the faster you’ll grow.

At Moonshot, culture isn’t fluff — it’s how we win

• Curiosity & Growth → We challenge assumptions, ask big questions, and push for mastery.

• Low Ego → No ivory towers — everyone gets their hands dirty.

• Ownership → You own outcomes, not just outputs. Shipping is step one; impact is the goal.

• Trust → Radical transparency and accountability, even when it’s hard.

• Agility → We move fast, test faster, and aren’t afraid to pivot.

• This Is Your Company → Ideas fuel breakthroughs. We’re all builders here.

• Enjoy the Ride → Startups are a rollercoaster — we create good vibes and celebrate wins together.

Who We’re Looking For

• 0–3 years of experience building web applications.

• Comfortable with Python, JavaScript, and modern frameworks (React, Node, Flask, etc.).

• Strong computer science fundamentals (or equivalent practical experience).

• Excited about AI, experimentation, and startups.

• Hungry to learn, unafraid to ask questions, and eager to ship.

Bonus Points:

• Startup experience.

• Experience playing with LLMs, ML models, or data pipelines.

• A non-trivial portfolio, GitHub, or side projects you’re proud of.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary

• Meaningful equity — real ownership in Moonshot AI’s success.

• Full health coverage (medical, dental, vision) for you + your family.

• Unlimited PTO — we trust you to take the time you need.

• Office-first culture (4 days/week) — Midtown Manhattan, in the middle of it all.

• Work directly with the founding team — your impact is immediate, visible, and career-defining.

• Backed by top investors in NYC, SF, and TLV.
