We're an ambitious team of 100+ working at the frontier of AI and have raised $60M in Series C funding from Wellington Management, CRV, Next47 and Y Combinator.

This is a full-time role starting in June or September 2026 depending on graduation dates.

The role

We're looking for curious, ambitious graduates who are excited to launch their software engineering careers and make an impact from day one. You'll join us around June/September 2026 as part of a small, highly collaborative team that's building the next generation of AI infrastructure.

At Encord, you'll work alongside serial founders, ex-computer scientists, physicists, and quants who care deeply about building great products and shipping fast. We're looking for graduate full-stack engineers — whether you're more front-end or back-end leaning — who are passionate about solving real customer problems and thrive in autonomous squads of 4–5 people.

Encord is growing rapidly, with our product as the key driver of that growth. A year ago, we were a team of 50; now, we're over 100 and continuing to accelerate. Joining us now means stepping in at a crucial stage of expansion for the company, product, and team.

What You'll Do

• Take end-to-end ownership of your projects, from product, design and architectural decisions through to deployment, monitoring and measuring impact on users
• Work across the full stack, covering everything from deployment to styling
• Take initiative, be proactive in problem-solving, and continuously seek improvements
• Tackle complex domains and immense scale with simple, elegant solutions
• Collaborate with a lean, high-trust team to solve challenging problems together
  
  

Who We're Looking For

• Eager to learn and grow: You've built small projects, coursework assignments, or personal apps, and are excited to apply what you've learned to real-world systems. You're curious about how reliable, high-performance software is built and keen to learn from experienced engineers
• Motivated by impact: You want your work to make a meaningful difference. You're excited by the idea of contributing to products that real people use and that deliver tangible results
• A natural builder: You enjoy creating things from the ground up, whether that's writing code, designing systems, or experimenting with new technologies. You're comfortable exploring across the stack and love solving problems
• Comfortable with ambiguity: You don't need every detail defined before you start. You enjoy figuring things out, learning as you go, and using feedback to guide your work
• Collaborative and supportive: You value teamwork, communication, and helping others succeed. You take feedback well, share ideas openly, and contribute to a positive, high-performing team culture
