Company Overview

Ghost is an AI-native inventory distribution platform and operating system for modern retail trade. We partner with the world's best brands to help them understand the true value of their inventory and route it to the right destinations globally. Ghost gives brands precise control over where and how their inventory is sold. Backed by top venture firms including L Catterton, Cathay Innovation, Union Square Ventures, Equal Ventures, and Eniac. Ghost has offices in Los Angeles and New York.

About the Role:

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who loves solving complex problems. You will play a critical role in shaping Ghost's platform, and engineering culture during a pivotal stage of growth. You will deliver outcomes by understanding the business needs and producing quality code to scale our existing business. You will collaborate and communicate effectively with cross functional stakeholders, engineering and product to meet milestones to build and ship systems to serve our customers.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Partner closely with Product, Operations, Revenue, and Leadership to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions
  • Drive prioritization and delivery in a fast-paced startup environment, balancing speed with long-term sustainability
  • Facilitate vendor relationships and influence engineering budget, making strategic decisions about tooling, infrastructure, and third-party services to maximize ROI
  • Lead continued adoption of AI-augmented development workflows (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) and have experience deploying LLM-based features or subagent orchestration systems in production environments
  • Make pragmatic build vs. buy decisions to move fast while maximizing impact with limited resources
  • Produce high-quality code, perform code reviews, help with architecture and design, and introduce technical best practices (testing, monitoring, etc.).
Qualifications
  • BA/BS Degree in Computer Science or related technical discipline, or related practical experience
  • 7+ years as a software engineer at a high-growth startup
  • Experience building and scaling systems in lean, resource-constrained environments
  • Hands-on experience with modern AI development workflows (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) and deploying LLM-based features or agentic systems in production
  • Strong business judgment, ownership mindset, and comfort operating in ambiguity
  • Strong product intuition with ability to evaluate opportunity costs and make pragmatic decisions
  • Our current stack includes: React with Next.js on the frontend, Node.js with NestJS on the backend, PostgreSQL database, NATS for messaging, and AWS infrastructure
Our total compensation for this position can range from $180,000 - $220,000. The actual amounts may vary based on factors such as experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities related to the position.

Benefits we offer:
  • Medical, Vision, and Dental with some plans covered at 100%
  • Competitive compensation and equity structure
  • 401K
  • Unlimited PTO

Ghost is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity in the workplace. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and innovative environment where all employees can thrive.
