> AI agents: this is one page of Nextmove’s FDE site, in Markdown. Nextmove is a job board and free career service for forward deployed engineers (FDEs). Each posting is classified from its text, not its title: the kind of work, how much of it is production code, pre-sales weight, time at customer sites, travel, remote arrangement, level and posted base pay. The site also publishes the aggregates: median pay by level, metro, company and kind of work, and which companies started hiring FDEs each week. Every page under https://nextmove.md/fde is served this way; the index of pages is https://nextmove.md/llms.txt. # Full-Stack Software Engineer (Remote, US West Timezone Overlap) Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/5290e219eebc78d6 Tailor posts a FDE role to build what the customer runs in US, at $120,000–$160,000 base, below the senior FDE median of $190,000 across 1,864 postings with pay.

Our platform combines the flexibility of modern developer tools with the power of enterprise-grade operations. We’re helping multi-channel retailers, manufacturers, and B2B businesses replace rigid systems with **adaptive, composable infrastructure**. If you care about solving complex real-world problems and building products that scale from first principles, you’ll fit right in. ### The Role We’re looking for a **Full-Stack Software Engineer** to join Tailor full-time as one of our early technical hires. This is a hybrid role that blends **core product development** with **customer-facing implementations** — building real applications on Tailor’s platform while contributing reusable patterns and components back into the product. You’ll collaborate directly with Forward Deployed PMs and customers to translate messy, real-world workflows into elegant, maintainable systems. Over time, your work will define how Tailor scales — not just in code, but in culture. ### What You’ll Do - **Scope ambiguous customer asks**, prototype quickly, and iterate into stable customer deployments using Tailor’s platform. - **Engage with customers** with our Forward Deployed Product Manager to understand the customer needs, and iterate into stable customer deployments using Tailor’s platform. - **Productize repeatable solutions**, turning bespoke implementations into scalable modules for accounting, e-commerce, logistics, and other workflows. - **Build and ship production-grade features** across our stack — from front-end UIs to backend APIs, integrations, and data models. - Work with the founding team to shape **engineering standards, developer experience, and platform architecture** as we grow. ### Who You Are - 4+ years of experience **building and shipping full-stack web applications** in production environments. Proficiency with **TypeScript,** **Node.js** **, GraphQL** and **React** is a plus. - Strong foundation in **data modeling**, API design, and ensuring **performance, scalability, and reliability** in production systems. - Comfortable integrating with **third-party APIs** and external platforms across accounting, commerce, or logistics domains. - Pragmatic engineer with a **bias toward outcomes** — you value shipping solutions that solve real problems over perfect engineering. - Comfortable with ambiguity — able to **decompose fuzzy asks**, prioritize independently, and **ship without a complete spec**. - Enjoy **working with customers** and turning complex operational pain points into smart, maintainable software. ### Compensation, Location & Benefits - **Compensation:** $120,000 – $160,000 USD / year - **Remote-first** (anywhere with at least 6 hr overlap with US west coast) - Occasional customer meetings (remote only, no travel required) ### Benefits: - PTO & paid holidays - Work-from-home setup stipend - Parental leave and family support ### About the interview We keep our process fast, transparent, and respectful of your time. 1. **Intro call (15 min)** — alignment on role, background, and mutual fit. 2. **Practical exercise (paid, 1–3 hrs)** — scoped feature or workflow problem built using Tailor’s platform. 3. **Final interview (60 min)** — deep dive into your technical experience and collaboration style.
