Skip helps millions of entrepreneurs and small business owners access funding, grow faster, and build real businesses — all in one place. Our revenue is comparable to a high-growth Series B company and has doubled in the past two months. Over 1 million business owners trust Skip to simplify what used to be a maze of red tape.

Now we’re building the next evolution of entrepreneurship: an AI Cofounder that helps anyone start, run, and scale a business.

If you want to work on a product that touches real people — and directly helps them build their livelihoods — Skip is one of the most impactful places you can be.

The Role

This is a high-ownership, high-velocity engineering role.

As a senior full-stack engineer on our product and AI team, you’ll build new tools and experiences that give entrepreneurs real leverage — from conversational business planning to smart funding recommendations, automated documents, and personalized dashboards.

You’ll work directly with the founder and a tight product/design team. No bureaucracy. No layers. Just building, shipping fast, and seeing your work used by hundreds of thousands of people.

What You'll Do:

• Build and ship new features using modern web technologies and AI APIs.
• Integrate AI into user-facing flows — conversational builders, assistants, recommendations.
• Contribute across Skip’s product stack: React/Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, Postgres, Supabase.
• Rapidly prototype, test with real users, and iterate based on data and feedback.
• Work closely with product, design, and support to uncover what actually moves the needle.
• Help shape the architecture and UX of Skip’s AI Cofounder product.
• (Optional/Secondary) Explore RAG, embeddings, or personalization systems — only if interested.

About You:

• 5+ years of engineering experience, with strong experience shipping production features.
• Strong with TypeScript and React/Next.js.
• Comfortable across the stack or eager to work full-stack.
• Curious about AI and excited to integrate AI capabilities into real products.
• Communicative, proactive, and collaborative — you’re comfortable working closely with product and design.
• You care about impact: you want your work to help real entrepreneurs build real businesses.

Why Join Skip?

• You’ll be one of the core engineers shaping Skip’s AI Cofounder — a generational product shift.
• You’ll work with an inspiring, high-output engineering/design team (including a strong Brazil engineering team).
• You’ll have real ownership — not a feature factory, not endless specs.
• You’ll see the impact of your work directly: from solo founders to growing teams across the U.S.
• You’ll ship fast and learn fast.

Compensation:

• Base Salary: $60,000–$80,000 USD equivalent (paid in USD or BRL)
• Equity: 0.20%–0.60% — meaningful ownership in a fast-growing company
• Paid time off + remote-first + autonomy to do your best work
