Software Engineer

**Full-Stack Developer – AI-Driven Web Applications** Company: Canvas ( canvasx.ai ) Location: Remote Experience: 1–3 Years or more Compensation: INR 10–15 LPA + ESOPs Please note that failure to submit the required assignment mentioned in the application form will result in the rejection of your application. **THE SHORT STORY** We're Canvas — a research and R&D lab building AI products. We started the day ChatGPT launched and have shipped more than 15 AI products since. Right now we're building Getsketch.ai , and that's where this role plugs in. You'll work directly with our CEO and CTO on the AI products we're building — Sketch and the next ones in the pipeline. Small team, fast loop, real product decisions in the room with you. **THE MISSION** You'll own pipelines end-to-end: design the UI, write the backend, wire up the LLM call, push it to production. No handoffs, no waiting on someone else's queue. We're a startup, and we need a startup engineer. If you want to take a feature from idea to live and then jump to the next one, this is the role. If you'd rather specialize deep in one slice of the stack, it isn't. **WHAT YOU'LL DO (THE IMPACT)** Build the Interface: Develop responsive, interactive UIs in Next.js, React, and Tailwind that real customers depend on. Power the Backend: Build and maintain Node.js + Fastify services that connect the frontend to data, APIs, and intelligence. Plug in the AI: Integrate with external APIs and LLM services — OpenAI, Claude, Gemini — to make conversational features feel natural. Ship to Production: Work in Docker-based dev environments and deploy to AWS (Lambda, ECS). From local to live, you own the path. Write for the Long Run: Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code across the stack. Code that another engineer can pick up six months later without a tour guide. Collaborate Closely: Work directly with designers and senior engineers to ship production-ready features. **THE STACK** Frontend: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind Backend: Node.js, Fastify, REST/LLM APIs, MongoDB DevOps: Docker, AWS (Lambda, ECS), GitHub **WHO YOU ARE** The Experience: 1–3 years in full-stack development. The Foundation: Strong JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML/CSS, and modern JS frameworks. The Backend Side: Comfortable with backend development and working with APIs. The Curiosity: Genuine interest in AI technologies and building smart user experiences. The Craft: Sharp attention to detail, willingness to learn, and ownership over what you ship. **THE SELECTION PROCESS** 1. Application: Fill out our application form with your details. 2. The Assignment: Complete the coding assignment shared in the form (7 days to submit). Applications submitted without the assignment will not be considered. 3. Pull Request Review: Submit your work as a pull request for the team to review. 4. Final Conversation: A discussion with the team to walk through your work, your process, and mutual fit.  **WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN** Your code ships into real AI products customers use, not internal experiments. Work closely with a small, focused, mentorship-driven team — close enough that your decisions shape the product. Learn the craft of building production AI workflow tools end-to-end, from LLM integration to deployment. Competitive compensation with meaningful ESOPs — real skin in the game.
