About Lume (www.lume.ai)
Lume is doing for enterprise data what Facebook did for humans - connect them effortlessly. The amount of data within companies is growing exponentially and is increasingly more siloed with the proliferation of vertical specific SAAS applications and unique client formats. Lume solves this problem by leveraging AI to act as a translation layer to enable your data to flow between systems seamlessly. You give us your desired schema, and we do the rest from mapping, classifying, aggregating, and other data transformation tasks to fit your incoming data.
We have developed novel strategies leveraging LLMs that stemmed from our NLP research during our graduate degrees at Stanford University.
We have raised over $4M to date from the top firms in the valley such as Khosla Ventures (OpenAI, Replit) and General Catalyst (Stripe, Airbnb) along with other notable angels.
Today, we’re growing and excited for new teammates to join who are the best at what they do.
About the Role:
At Lume, we are solving one of the most complex challenges in data infrastructure: fully automating data transformation and modeling. This is a technically demanding problem requiring scalable data infrastructure, cutting-edge AI models, and intuitive user interfaces.
We are looking for a full-stack engineer with strong front-end expertise to help us build a seamless, high-performance user experience for our customers. This role is approximately 70% front-end work, so if you love working on rich, performant web applications but also want to contribute meaningfully across the stack, we’d love to hear from you.
In this role, you will:
Own the front-end: Design and develop high-performance experiences and interfaces for Lume’s core web app using React and TypeScript.
Contribute across the stack: Work on FastAPI/Python backend services, API development, and PostgreSQL data models.
Ship customer-facing features end-to-end: Build, test, and deploy features that enhance usability, scalability, and user experience.
Take ownership: Work directly with the founders, engage with customers, and help shape the direction of our product and team.
In this role, you will thrive if you:
Expertise in front-end development: You have deep experience with React and TypeScript, and popular frontend frameworks for component design and state management.
Full-stack capability: You can build and maintain FastAPI/Python backend services, develop APIs, and work with relational databases.
Experience with PostgreSQL (or other relational databases): You’re comfortable designing schemas, writing queries, and optimizing database interactions.
Strong communication & collaboration skills: You share ideas early, give and receive feedback openly, and iterate quickly.
At least 3 years of experience in full-stack development, with a strong emphasis in building web applications using javascript/typescript and frameworks such as Next.js.
In this role, a nice to have is:
A strong sense of UI/UX patterns: While you won’t be responsible for design, an understanding of intuitive and responsive UI best practices is a plus.
Experience with AWS: Familiarity with cloud infrastructure for deployment and scalability.
