Senior Full-Stack Engineer

About Portraits

Portraits is a small, deliberate team building what we think is the first genuinely good use of generative image models in a physical consumer product. You'd be joining engineering as one of the first five hires on the team, owning meaningful product surface from your first week.

What you'll do

• Ship customer-facing features across our Next.js App Router frontend and Node/TypeScript backend.
• Improve the reliability and observability of our generation pipeline (queueing, retries, cost tracking).
• Work directly with the production team to harden the print-handoff pipeline — file specs, color profiles, proofing.
• Own a meaningful piece of product architecture end-to-end with support from the rest of engineering.
• Set the bar for code review, testing, and on-call practices on a growing team.
• Mentor earlier-career engineers as we hire.

What you have

• 6+ years of production software experience, meaningfully across frontend and backend.
• Strong TypeScript, strong Postgres, comfort with at least one async/queueing system.
• Experience shipping customer-facing products where correctness and UX both matter.
• Ability to scope, sequence, and ship without heavy oversight.
• Clear technical writing.
