Founding Full-Stack Engineer (Execution Lead)

Overview

INFUSE is building INKHUB, an AI-powered discovery engine for 1M+ high-quality marketing assets. Think of it as the semantic search layer for B2B content — structured, searchable, and continuously refreshed. We’re looking for a hands-on founding full-stack engineer to own execution across backend, frontend, and infrastructure, taking defined product and system decisions and turning them into a reliable, scalable platform.

This is a build-first role: you will ship core systems end-to-end, surface risks early, and propose implementation alternatives — while product priorities and system-level trade-offs remain founder-led.

What You’ll Do

• Implement and operate a raw document ingestion pipeline and freshness scheduler (e.g., S3 + SQS / EventBridge / Lambda or equivalent).
• Build and extend backend APIs (Flask / FastAPI) to support:
• Page claiming and editing
• Authentication (Google / LinkedIn SSO, magic links)
• Role-based access control and usage tracking
• Own delivery of the Next (TypeScript + MUI) admin dashboard:
• Asset review workflows
• User roles and permissions
• Usage and system analytics
• Integrate the semantic search API into the UI.
• Implement SEO-critical mechanics.
• Set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions / Jenkins).
• Deploy and operate services on AWS using Docker + Helm (EKS or ECS).
• Add lightweight platform protections (rate limiting, basic bot mitigation).
• Monitor system health and proactively surface risks, scaling concerns, and implementation trade-offs.

Role Boundaries (Important)

• This role owns execution, not product definition.
• System-level decisions (relevance, freshness rules, SEO strategy, prioritization) are out of scope.
• You are expected to:
• Translate specs into working systems
• Propose alternatives with clear trade-offs
• Escalate ambiguity early rather than guessing

Our Stack

• Backend: Python (Flask + FastAPI), PostgreSQL, Redis
• Frontend: React, TypeScript, MUI
• Infra: Docker, Helm, AWS (S3, Cognito/Auth0, EKS/ECS)
• Pipelines: SQS, EventBridge or Celery
• APIs: OpenAPI 3
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Jenkins

You Might Be a Fit If…

• You’ve shipped and operated production-grade full-stack systems
• You’re comfortable owning execution across backend, frontend, and infra
• You can work from defined constraints and deliver reliably
• You communicate clearly, surface risks early, and don’t over-engineer
• You enjoy being hands-on and accountable for what ships

Why This Role Matters

You’ll be responsible for turning INKHUB’s product and system decisions into a real, working platform. Your execution will directly determine speed, stability, and the quality of the user experience as the product moves from prototype to real-world usage.
