Junior Software Engineer

Why Moonshot AI?

Imagine websites that rebuild themselves on autopilot to sell more, convert better, and grow faster. At Moonshot AI, we’re making that happen — merging generative AI, large-scale data pipelines, and experimentation into a self-evolving web.

We’re a well-funded, very early-stage startup with a massive vision. Joining now means you’re not just an employee — you’re helping set the technical and cultural DNA of the company. If you’ve ever wanted the autonomy of a founder with the backing of top-tier investors, this is it.

What You’ll Build & Achieve

You’ll touch every part of the stack and learn how to build systems that scale to millions of users. This isn’t a “ticket taker” job — you’ll be writing real production code from day one.

• Build and ship features across our frontend dashboards and backend APIs.
• Work with massive data streams that track millions of web events daily.
• Help train and integrate AI models that suggest and test website improvements.
• Collaborate with senior engineers to design scalable systems and best practices.
• Prototype fast, test constantly, and learn how to turn ideas into shipped features in days.
• This role is about learning through impact — the more you contribute, the faster you’ll grow.

Who We’re Looking For

• 0–3 years of experience building web applications.
• Comfortable with Python, JavaScript, and modern frameworks (React, Node, Flask, etc.).
• Strong computer science fundamentals (or equivalent practical experience).
• Excited about AI, experimentation, and startups.
• Hungry to learn, unafraid to ask questions, and eager to ship.

Bonus Points:

• Startup experience.
• Experience playing with LLMs, ML models, or data pipelines.
• A non-trivial portfolio, GitHub, or side projects you’re proud of.

At Moonshot, culture isn’t fluff — it’s how we win

• Curiosity & Growth → We challenge assumptions, ask big questions, and push for mastery.
• Low Ego → No ivory towers — everyone gets their hands dirty.
• Ownership → You own outcomes, not just outputs. Shipping is step one; impact is the goal.
• Trust → Radical transparency and accountability, even when it’s hard.
• Agility → We move fast, test faster, and aren’t afraid to pivot.
• This Is Your Company → Ideas fuel breakthroughs. We’re all builders here.
• Enjoy the Ride → Startups are a rollercoaster — we create good vibes and celebrate wins together.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Meaningful equity — real ownership in Moonshot AI’s success.
• Full health coverage (medical, dental, vision) for you + your family.
• Unlimited PTO — we trust you to take the time you need.
• Office-first culture (4 days/week) — Midtown Manhattan, in the middle of it all.
• Work directly with the founding team — your impact is immediate, visible, and career-defining.
• Backed by top investors in NYC, SF, and TLV.
