Software Engineer

Fellow is the AI meeting assistant that helps teams turn conversations into decisions and action, built from the ground up with privacy and security in mind.
We are looking for a full-stack Software Engineer to join our Engineering team and help build the core Fellow experience. You will work across the stack, from APIs and data models to polished product experiences, owning features from early idea through production and iteration.
This is a role for someone who likes shipping. You will work closely with Product and Design, move quickly from ambiguous problems to working software, and stay close to how people actually use what you build. We care about good judgment, thoughtful execution, and finding the highest-leverage path to a great outcome.
It is also an AI-native role. We use tools like Claude Code and Cursor throughout the development process, and we are looking for an engineer who thrives with this way of working. You should be excited to push beyond default workflows, experiment with new ways of building software, and use AI with the judgment required to ship high-quality production code.
What you will do
Build and ship product features end to end across React, TypeScript, Django, Python, GraphQL, and the systems around them.
Take ownership of meaningful product areas, from understanding the problem and shaping the technical approach through implementation, rollout, monitoring, and iteration.
Partner closely with Product and Design to turn broad ideas into simple, polished experiences that people genuinely enjoy using.
Move quickly without losing sight of quality, writing thoughtful tests, reviewing code carefully, and keeping performance, reliability, and maintainability in mind.
Dig into real-world problems and user feedback, trace issues to their root cause, and turn what you learn into durable improvements.
Write and refine technical plans, break ambiguous work into practical pieces, and make good trade-offs when there is no perfect answer.
Use AI coding agents deeply in your daily workflow, and help develop new tools, prompts, workflows, and practices that materially improve how the team builds software.
Contribute to technical discussions, code reviews, and shared engineering practices while learning from the people around you and helping others do their best work.
Help shape what we build next as Fellow continues evolving.
Success means shipping useful things quickly, making the product noticeably better, and leaving the codebase and the way we work stronger than you found them.
What we are looking for
Professional software engineering experience building and shipping production software.
Experience with modern web technologies. Our stack includes React, TypeScript, Django, Python, GraphQL, and Relay, but we care more about strong engineering fundamentals than exact stack matching.
A track record of owning features or projects beyond implementation, including technical design, rollout, monitoring, and iteration.
Strong product judgment and an instinct for finding practical solutions that create meaningful user impact.
Excellence in working through ambiguity, asking good questions, and taking initiative without waiting for every detail to be defined.
Deep, practical use of AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar tools, paired with strong judgment and a track record of developing new agentic workflows, tools, or practices that materially improve how software gets built.
Clear communication and the ability to collaborate closely with engineers, Product, Design, QA, and other partners.
A desire to learn quickly, and contribute to a team that moves fast and cares about the quality of what it ships.
How we workFellow is a remote-first company, working in Eastern time.
This role is open to candidates located in Canada. Optional office space is available in Ottawa and Montreal.
We move quickly, share work early, and help one another get unstuck. We like ambitious goals, practical solutions, and people who bring energy to solving problems.
Engineers at Fellow have meaningful ownership. You will not be handed a stream of perfectly scoped tickets. We expect you to understand the problem, form a point of view, work with the right people, and help drive the solution through to something real.
We believe speed and craftsmanship reinforce each other. Good judgment, clear ownership, strong tooling, and thoughtful engineering let us ship quickly while continuing to raise the quality bar.
We use AI tools throughout the software-development lifecycle, not only to generate code. We experiment constantly with new workflows and expect engineers to help shape what AI-native product development should look like.
And we believe work should be fun. The work matters, but we do our best work when the team is curious, collaborative, direct, and genuinely excited to build together.
What we offerAt Fellow, we invest in the people who make our mission possible:
Fair, competitive compensation — we benchmark against the market and pay fairly for every role.
Health and dental coverage, including prescription drugs and life insurance.
Parental leave — 12 weeks of paid leave at 80% of salary for any parent welcoming a child into their family.
Time to recharge — three weeks of vacation, paid sick leave, and a paid company-wide break at the end of the year.
Remote-first flexibility — work remotely within Canada.
Room to grow — learning budgets, lunch-and-learns, and the freedom to own your work end to end.
