Full Stack Software Engineer

Full-Stack Engineer

WickedFile · Atlanta, GA (Onsite) · Full-time.

Why this job exists:

WickedFile is the AI-powered AP automation platform for auto repair shops. Our founder spent 40 years running shops, lost $180K to parts theft in a single year, and saw the same leak happen across the industry.

We built the “carbon monoxide detector” for the back office: invoices, repair orders, vendor statements, and credits reconciled automatically so owners stop quietly losing money they already earned.

Customers are recovering thousands of dollars per month within weeks of go-live. Demand is outpacing what our small team can ship, so we’re hiring.

The role:

You’ll work directly with the founders and a small engineering team. No middle layers, no ticket treadmill. You’ll ship features that customers feel immediately across backend services, ingestion pipelines, and the product UI.

We’re looking for a highly technical engineer who can help modernize the platform with pragmatic AI-native tooling. You should be comfortable improving legacy systems, introducing better architecture incrementally, and shipping production-grade AI features that create measurable customer value.

Our current stack is primarily:

• Node.js + Express services
• Vue/Quasar frontend apps
• MongoDB + Redis caching patterns.
• Document/OCR and message-driven processing (including Java/Spring components).
• AWS-hosted infrastructure.

If you want real ownership in a company where your code lands in customer workflows fast, this is that role.

What you’ll do:

• Ship features end-to-end across services and UI.
• Build and harden document ingestion and reconciliation pipelines.
• Own meaningful surface area: design, implement, support, improve.
• Partner with founders and occasionally join customer calls to close the loop between product and real shop pain.
• Raise quality bar: challenge weak assumptions and propose better paths.
• Modernize core services and internal tooling without disrupting customer workflows.
• Identify high-ROI AI opportunities (classification, extraction, anomaly detection, workflow. automation) and ship them end-to-end.
• Improve developer velocity through better architecture, observability, and automation.
• Evaluate where LLMs belong in the stack and where deterministic systems are the better choice.

What we’re looking for:

• 3-6 years building production software as a full-stack or backend engineer.
• Strong Node.js fundamentals; comfortable building APIs and async/background workflows.
• Comfortable in modern frontend work (Vue, React, or both) and willing to work in Vue/Quasar today.
• Strong database instincts (query design, indexing, data modeling, tradeoffs).
• Can take ambiguous problems from idea to shipped customer value.
• Clear technical judgment and ability to explain decisions.

We don’t care about pedigree. Degree, bootcamp, self-taught, career-switcher it’s all fine. We care about what you’ve built and how you think.

Bonus points:

• Startup experience on small teams with broad ownership.
• Experience in document processing, OCR, AP/accounting, or reconciliation workflows.
• Experience with LLM-assisted workflows and practical opinions about where they do/do not work.
• Experience owning production infrastructure and on-call quality.

What we offer:

• Salary: $110,000.
• Equity in a company already delivering measurable ROI for customers.
• Health, dental, vision.
• In-person team in Atlanta.
• Founder with deep domain experience and direct customer signal.

How to apply:

Send us:

• A link to something you built (repo, shipped app, teardown, or case study).
• A few sentences on the hardest bug you’ve fixed in production.
• Resume or LinkedIn (optional).
