Full Stack Software Engineer, Growth

Delty (YC X25)

<div>
 
 About Us
 
 
 
 
 Delty is building the world&rsquo;s first &ldquo;AI Staff Engineer.&rdquo;
 
 Unlike typical code-generation tools, Delty is trained on a team&rsquo;s codebase, documentation, and system history &mdash; giving it a system-level understanding of architecture, conventions, and constraints. Delty helps engineering teams design enterprise-scale software systems, make architectural decisions, and enable AI coding agents to work with real system context.
 
 
 Delty was founded by former engineering leaders from
 
 Google, including co-founders with deep experience at YouTube and in large-scale infrastructure
 
 . You&rsquo;ll get to work alongside people who built massive systems at scale &mdash; a chance to learn a
 
 lot
 
 and contribute meaningfully from day one.
 
 
 We believe in solving hard problems together as a team, iterating quickly, and building software with long-term thinking and ownership.
 
 
 What You&rsquo;ll Do
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Work full-stack: design and build features spanning front-end, back-end, data storage and processing.
 </li>
 <li>
 Build new product modules and services from scratch &mdash; or evolve existing ones &mdash; guided by context-aware system design.
 </li>
 <li>
 Work with AI and machine learning: integrate large-language models (LLMs), process large or long-form text data, apply traditional ML (e.g. regression, data pipelines), and build tooling around AI-driven flows.
 </li>
 <li>
 Make architectural decisions &mdash; choose frameworks, data models, APIs, storage solutions &mdash; balancing trade-offs between performance, scalability, maintainability, and complexity.
 </li>
 <li>
 Collaborate closely with co-founders and other engineers to translate product vision into a working, maintainable codebase.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 What We&rsquo;re Looking For
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 At least 3 years of full-stack engineering experience, including substantial work with AI/ML.
 </li>
 <li>
 Strong skills across front-end, back-end, databases/data storage &mdash; and demonstrated ability to design end-to-end systems.
 </li>
 <li>
 Experience working with or integrating AI/ML &mdash; LLMs, data pipelines, long-form text processing, traditional ML like regression or statistical modeling.
 </li>
 <li>
 Good design sense and architectural thinking: you understand trade-offs (scalability vs complexity, speed vs maintainability) and can choose wisely based on constraints.
 </li>
 <li>
 Comfort working in a fast-paced startup-style environment: nimble, iterative, high ownership.
 </li>
 <li>
 Bonus: prior startup experience, or even having been a founder &mdash; we value entrepreneurial thinking, self-direction, and willingness to wear multiple hats.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 Why join
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Learn from seasoned Google engineers: As former Google engineers who built systems at YouTube and Google Pay, we&rsquo;ve operated at massive scale. Working alongside us gives you a chance to build similar systems and learn best practices, scale thinking, and software design deeply.
 </li>
 <li>
 High impact: At a small but ambitious team, your contributions will influence architecture, product direction, and core features. You will have real ownership and see the effects of your work quickly.
 </li>
 <li>
 Grow fast: We&rsquo;re iterating rapidly; you&rsquo;ll be exposed to the full stack, AI/ML pipelines, system architecture, data modeling, and product-level decisions &mdash; a fast-track to becoming a senior engineer or technical lead.
 </li>
 <li>
 Challenging and meaningful work: We&rsquo;re tackling the hardest part of software engineering: bridging AI-generated prototypes and robust, scalable enterprise-grade systems. If you enjoy thinking deeply about systems and building reliable, maintainable foundations &mdash; this is for you.
 </li>
 </ul>
