About The Position

Glade.ai is building the future of AI-powered automation for service businesses — transforming how legal, insurance, and professional service industries scale and operate. Our platform automates workflows, optimizes processes, and helps businesses deliver more value, faster. We’re looking for a talented Software Engineer in Puerto Rico, US with at least 3+ years of professional experience to join our core product engineering team. This is a hands-on, full-stack engineering role where you’ll work directly on high-impact features, shaping the core platform that powers Glade’s AI-driven automation. As part of a fast-growing company, you’ll build at startup speed, solve complex technical challenges, and have an outsized impact on both the product and the business as we scale. Working directly with the Co-Founder, you’ll be among the first engineers in our Puerto Rico hub, leading high-impact initiatives and helping shape key technical decisions across the company.

Requirements

3+ years of experience as a software engineer building production-grade web applications.
Strong skills using TypeScript/React/CSS on the frontend, and experience with modern TypeScript/Node.js/PostgreSQL-based backends.
Solid understanding of software design, APIs, and scalable system architecture.
Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment.
Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

Nice To Haves

Solve a real or plausible problem for law firms, legal teams, or their clients.
Demonstrate strong product judgment. We want to understand why you built what you built, the tradeoffs you considered, and how you decided what was worth prioritizing.
Show thoughtful engineering. We care about architecture, state management, data modeling, edge cases, and how your solution could evolve as part of a production product.
Present your work professionally. Please host it, share a repository, or provide a deployed link so we can evaluate not only the functionality, but also how you package, communicate, and ship your work.
You are welcome to use AI tools throughout the process—in fact, we expect great engineers to leverage them effectively. However, the final result should not feel like a generic AI-generated demo. It should reflect your taste, judgment, and ability to turn an ambiguous problem into a useful product.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and ship scalable, high-performance applications in a modern TypeScript/React/Node.js stack.
Collaborate closely with product, design, and fellow engineers to deliver impactful features end-to-end.
Contribute to architecture decisions and help evolve our codebase for speed, reliability, and maintainability.
Write clean, testable code and champion best engineering practices.
Learn quickly, iterate quickly, and have a direct impact on product direction.
