About Us
Nyle is building an AI teammates for running and growing entire ecommerce stores. We serve Top 1% Amazon Sellers and Shopify brands and are growing a team of engineers who care about craft, ownership, and real-world impact.

About the Role
We're looking for a Software Engineer with 3+ years of professional experience to design, build, and ship high-quality software that our customers rely on every day. You'll own features end to end — from shaping the technical approach with product and design partners to deploying, monitoring, and iterating in production. This role is ideal for someone who has moved past the basics, wants more ownership, and is excited to grow toward senior-level scope.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, test, and ship scalable, reliable, and maintainable software across backend / frontend / full stack

• Own features from technical design through launch, including writing design docs and breaking work into clear milestones.

Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers to turn ambiguous problems into well-scoped solutions.

Write clean, well-tested code and hold a high bar through thoughtful code reviews.

Improve system performance, reliability, and observability; participate in an on-call rotation and help drive incident follow-ups.

Contribute to architectural decisions and help evolve our engineering practices, tooling, and CI/CD pipelines.

Mentor newer engineers and share knowledge through pairing, documentation, and tech talks.

Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), containerization (Docker), and CI/CD workflows.
