Scite (scite.ai) | Senior Developer | REMOTE (US)

We build AI-powered tools that help researchers and organizations make sense of the scientific literature. Small team, hard problems, real momentum. Our MCP server just launched, enterprise adoption is growing, and the product roadmap is full of ambitious bets.

Stack:

Frontend: React 18, Redux/Redux Saga, Webpack, SWC, Express (SSR), CSS Modules

Backend: FastAPI (Python 3.11), Flask, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Redis, Celery

AI/ML: Claude (Anthropic), OpenAI, PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers, sentence-transformers, RAG pipelines

Infrastructure: AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, Lambda), Docker, Kong API Gateway, GitHub Actions, CircleCI

Observability: OpenTelemetry, New Relic, Sentry, PostHog

Other: Stripe, SendGrid, Playwright, TypeScript

What we're looking for:

Strong engineering fundamentals

Comfort working across the stack, Python and JavaScript/React in particular

Experience with PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, or similar data-intensive systems is a plus

Familiarity with LLM APIs and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a bonus

Genuine curiosity about how AI can improve how people interact with research
