About the Role

Highlight is building a shared intelligence layer for the modern workforce, unifying context across people and tools to proactively route knowledge and automate workflows. As an early-career engineer, you will work across the stack, owning real product problems end-to-end and collaborating closely with product, design, backend, and ML teams.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship product features across the stack, from user-facing experiences to backend systems.
• Work directly with product and design to understand user problems and turn ambiguous ideas into simple, useful experiences.
• Own meaningful pieces of the product end-to-end: understand the problem, propose a solution, build it, measure it, and iterate.
• Work with AI and ML systems to create experiences that understand context and proactively help users.
• Contribute across areas like context storage and retrieval, desktop experiences, integrations, and AI-powered workflows.
• Learn new technologies and parts of the stack as needed rather than staying confined to a single specialty.
• Help build the engineering practices, systems, and product instincts that will allow a small team to move quickly without sacrificing quality.

Requirements

• Have 2-4 years of software engineering experience, or equivalent experience building software independently.
• Have strong fundamentals and can write clean, thoughtful, maintainable code.
• Have built and shipped things outside of your day job - side projects, open-source software, apps, tools, or anything else you're proud of.
• Are naturally curious and genuinely enjoy learning how things work.
• Have demonstrated that you can pick up unfamiliar technologies quickly.
• Want to work across the stack rather than specialize narrowly in one layer.
• Care about the end user and want to understand the why behind what you're building.
• Are comfortable with ambiguity and can turn an open-ended problem into something concrete.
• Have a bias toward action: you like building, shipping, getting feedback, and iterating.
• Take ownership of outcomes rather than waiting for someone to tell you exactly what to do.
• Are collaborative and enjoy working through hard problems with other people.
• Care about quality, but understand that the right answer isn't always to build the perfect thing before shipping.
• Are excited by AI and curious about how it can fundamentally change the way people use computers.
