Full Stack Engineer

Job Description Hiring Full Stack Senior Software Engineers Who Love AI If you're a Full Stack Senior Software Engineer who believes that: 1. AI is imperfect but phenomenal and the future 2. The Tech teams that figure out how to leverage AI to its full potential the fastest will win 3. The best tech is built by teams that are loyal not to hierarchy or job titles but to the quality of ideas and business impact 4. Tech is a team sport that requires open minds, collaboration, and low ego 5. Engineers should not be gatekeepers, but instead enablers using their deep expertise to empower rapid innovation across the entire org We'd love to talk to you. At Fresh Prints, we're in the middle of reshaping our Tech team into one that both 1) uses AI to build better and faster and 2) develops generative AI so that we can better serve customers and the business. We're looking for confident full stack software engineers who want to dive into all of it with us. And we're not talking about using GitHub Copilot or writing prompts in Cursor We're talking about being truly AI-first so that we can actively reassess what each role is capable of. For example, our Product Designers no longer create Figma files, but instead build functional front ends via Cursor that they then hand off. Our Product Managers are also in the middle of learning how to become more technical contributors by developing internal tools and POCs. We want fellow engineers who are excited by the opportunity this creates to make the average engineer's role a lot more interesting. As AI and our team's ability to use it continues to improve, engineering will no longer include much low level building and will instead require much higher level technical problem solving. Think systems-level issues, not just syntax. How do we take all that we describe above and make sure it translates into production grade applications How do we build a resilient architecture to ensure performance, scalability, and agility How do we do all of that without slowing anything down How do we build the absolute best applications in the most efficient ways Those are questions we'll look to you to answer. WHAT YOU'D BE BUILDING BUILDING We have bootstrapped Fresh Prints by being one of very few companies in the custom apparel space with real tech. We've developed our own OMS, CRM, and ecomm applications that cover everything from designing the apparel to account management to quotes through the entire supply chain. Why would we build all of that The product we offer is really an infinite number of permutations on design + garment + print type. There's little off-the-shelf software built to support an infinite product selection. There's even less built to support a business that sells those products via 700+ 19 year olds at 250+ schools across the country. As a result, everyone else in our space has stayed small. We put our heads down, invested in the tech, and are now the largest collegiate custom apparel company in the US. So what's next As the only company that's built the underlying technology, we also have a distinct advantage in the race to leverage AI. We've developed MCP compliant APIs that we now want to use to build a suite of generative AI agents that should both generate more revenue and make the business significantly more scalable. There is still quite a bit to learn and build. As a senior software engineer on our team, you'd be at the heart of it all.
