Full-Stack Engineer

About Parakeet

Parakeet is the AI‑powered risk & compliance platform built for industrial enterprises. Our agent‑driven workflows cut third‑party verification and risk‑management costs by up to 50 %, unifying data from devices, vendors, and internal systems into a single source of truth.

The Role

We’re expanding our core engineering team with a pragmatic full‑stack engineer who can ship production‑ready features end‑to‑end. You’ll own services across the stack—from REST/GraphQL APIs to responsive front‑end components—and help scale a platform processing millions of risk events per day.

Key Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain backend services in Node.js (TypeScript) and Python

Model and optimize relational data in PostgreSQL; write efficient, migration‑safe SQL

Integrate and tune QStash/Upstash queues for event‑driven workloads and background jobs

Deploy, secure, and monitor workloads on Cloudflare Workers/Durable Objects, Pages, and R2

Build modern, testable UI components (React + TypeScript) that surface complex compliance data simply

Collaborate with product, design, and data teams to translate requirements into shippable code

Write unit, integration, and end‑to‑end tests; enforce CI/CD and code‑review best practices

Profile, debug, and harden systems for security, performance, and reliability in regulated environments

Minimum Qualifications

3+ years professional experience building and operating production web services

Proficiency with Node.js and at least one Python web framework (FastAPI, Flask, Django, etc.)

Solid grasp of SQL, database schema design, and query optimization on PostgreSQL

Experience with message queues, pub/sub, or event streams (e.g., QStash, Kafka, RabbitMQ)

Familiarity with edge‑compute or serverless platforms (Cloudflare, AWS Lambda, Vercel, etc.)

Comfortable with modern front‑end frameworks (React a plus) and TypeScript

Track record of shipping features in an agile environment with code reviews and automated testing

English proficiency at B2 level or higher (CEFR)

Nice to Have

Exposure to compliance, fintech, or industrial IoT data pipelines

Knowledge of AI/LLM integration patterns or vector search (e.g., pgvector)

Security‑first mindset (OWASP, secure SDLC) and experience with SOC 2 or ISO 27001 controls
