From a software engineering standpoint, SpotDraft is a uniquely challenging product. We have to build a fully responsive interface that hides away the complexity that the AI layer deals with. We're looking for engineers who understand the difference between solving hard computer science problems and writing highly maintainable code in a team setting and can excel at both.
