Job Description
Taskrabbit, a marketplace that connects people with Taskers for household jobs like putting together furniture, handyman tasks and moving assistance, is hiring a Senior Full Stack Engineer for its AI and Innovation team. The team incubates AI projects aimed at making it easier for clients to find, explain and schedule the help they need. Projects that show validated results are handed to the team best placed to own them over the long term.
The role combines frontend and backend engineering on the company's systems. The posting emphasizes reliability, performance and maintainability for financial infrastructure that affects how clients and Taskers handle money. The engineer works on new features and also champions engineering rigor and operational quality.
The job includes architecture work: working alongside the engineering manager and architects to sketch a multi-quarter technical plan, paying down technical debt, and reshaping APIs, data models and system design over time. It also includes running large initiatives that span several teams, turning murky business objectives into technical plans, and acting as the go-to authority on JavaScript. Mentoring engineers and writing durable documentation are part of the role.
The posting describes a hybrid role with two days a week in the San Francisco office, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Taskrabbit states it cannot sponsor visas for this opening.
Required experience includes five years of professional software engineering with frontend and backend work, plus extensive Node.js and microservice experience. Strong SQL and data modeling skills in Postgres or Snowflake, and experience with Kafka and other asynchronous, event-driven systems are also listed.
Responsibilities
- Help define the team's multi-quarter technical roadmap across backend and frontend web client work.
- Work down technical debt while reshaping how systems are built, plus APIs and data models over time.
- Own large initiatives that cut across several teams.
- Translate murky, high-consequence business objectives into technical strategies, designs and experiments.
- Lead adoption of spec-driven development with AI tooling, turning specifications into Node.js implementations and test suites.
- Mentor engineers, champion testing and AI practices, and produce durable technical documentation.
Requirements
- Five years of professional software engineering experience, including frontend and backend work with clear impact across teams.
- Deep familiarity with Node.js and service-oriented design.
- Strong SQL and data modeling skills with Postgres or Snowflake.
- Hands-on experience with asynchronous, event-driven systems such as Kafka.
- Track record of designing and owning observability and alerting for critical systems.
- Ability to build, debug and scale distributed systems.
- Excellent communication and the ability to influence without formal authority.
Qualifications
- Practice in spec-first development.
- Hands-on experience with AI tools.
- Background modernizing older software platforms.
- Exposure to large-scale service and event-based architectures.
- Familiarity with Ruby on Rails.
