Akkio | Senior Software Engineers — FDE, Full-Stack, Backend | US (Fully Remote) | Full-time | $160k–$240k + equity | https://www.akkio.com/jobs

Akkio builds the AI platform the world's largest media agencies (Havas, Horizon Media, and others) use to run campaign workflows in production: audience building, media planning, measurement, and campaign analysis. Agentic workflows plus traditional ML, deployed on-premises inside agency cloud environments, directly on top of their data. We're ~50 people, past PMF, well funded, and growing revenue quickly.

We build agentically by default. Every engineer directs coding agents daily, and we're actively rebuilding our SDLC around that — not piloting it, not debating it. If you've felt that shift and want a team that's all the way in, that's us. We also run flat, so "senior" means ownership, not management layers.

Three roles, all $160k–$240k + equity:

* Forward-deployed engineer (FDE) — Python, TypeScript, true generalist. You embed with agencies whose systems steer billions in media spend and build whatever the problem needs: integrations, agent workflows, backend services. What you build in the field becomes product. Regular travel.

* Full-stack (web) — Vue.js, TypeScript, Node.js. You've run projects, guided architecture, and survived framework upgrades and large refactors. You care about the experience analysts live in every day.

* Backend — Python. Interesting work in at least two of: LLM systems and code generation, statistics, traditional AI/ML, large-scale data processing, distributed systems.
