Software Engineer – Gap Year

Netic is hiring full-time Gap Year Software Engineers to build features for its AI platform. The role involves delivering full-stack products from specification through production, working directly with customers, and ensuring feature quality and reliability.

What you'll do:

• Build agentic products: Design, code, and ship full-stack features for Netic’s AI platform
• Co‑create with customers: Work closely with our customers, including on-site, to understand workflows, gather feedback, and turn pain points into features that stick
• Own end‑to‑end delivery: Drive projects from spec to production, handling data models, APIs, front‑end polish, and post‑launch iteration
• Ensure quality: Build, test, and monitor features in production to ensure reliability and performance
• Learn how a company is built: Sit in on sales calls and leadership meetings to see how a fast-growing startup wins customers, makes decisions, and builds a team
• Build your founder network: Get to know our board, investors, and leaders across tech—people who can advise you, back you, or build with you when you start your own company

What they're looking for:

• We hire on a rolling basis, and start dates are flexible
• You've shipped real projects end-to-end, whether through school, internships, hackathons, or on your own
• Comfortable with React, TypeScript, and Python, or ready to pick them up fast
• You care about the people who use what you build and want to work with them directly
• You want to start a company one day and want to learn how great companies are built first
• Able to explain technical trade‑offs to engineers and product decisions to customers
• Currently enrolled in college and able to take a full year off before returning to finish your degree
• Hands‑on with LLM APIs, embeddings, or RAG patterns—or hunger to learn fast

Benefits:

• Full-time employees, not interns, with equity
• A dedicated mentor
• Room and board fully covered, in an apartment next to the office in San Francisco or New York
• Relationships with investors, founders, operators, and teammates who can advise, back, or co-found with you
