Opendate
Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer | Remote (US)
hn · Remote (US)
Jose is an exceptional 0→1 founding engineer with proven ability to ship production systems solo and make high-leverage architectural decisions, which directly aligns with Opendate's emphasis on what one engineer can accomplish with AI. His demonstrated expertise in AI agents (LangGraph, LLMs), full-stack development, and infrastructure matches the technical depth required. However, he lacks specific experience with Rails, React (only used in team settings), and the specific stack (Stripe, Sidekiq), and shows no background in ticketing or music venue domains.
Hook: As a founding engineer who built real-time AI voice systems solo and shipped LLM agents to production, you've already proven the engineering-AI partnership Opendate is building toward.
Missing: Ruby on Rails, Stripe integration experience, Sidekiq, Ticketing domain experience, Music industry or venue operations knowledge

Opendate | Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer | Remote (US) | Full-time Opendate builds the ticketing platform powering independent music venues across North America. We're looking for a senior engineer who is pushing the boundaries of AI-assisted software development. Everyone says they use AI. We're looking for someone who has gone much further—someone who is constantly experimenting with new workflows, building agents, automating entire pieces of development, and rethinking what one engineer can accomplish. Our engineering team believes AI is fundamentally changing what great engineering looks like. We want people who are helping define that future—not waiting for someone else to. Our stack includes Ruby on Rails, React, PostgreSQL, AWS, Sidekiq, and Stripe, but we're far more interested in how you build than the specific technologies you've used. If you're excited by questions like: How can AI own an entire feature from design to deployment? What engineering work still requires humans, and what should be automated? How do we move dramatically faster while maintaining an exceptionally high bar for quality? What does an engineering organization look like when every engineer has AI teammates? ...you'll probably enjoy working with us. If this resonates, we'd love to hear from you. https://www.opendate.io/careers/senior-full-stack-software-engineer
