Top Software Engineer Jobs in San Diego, CA

Build and ship end-to-end production features across APIs, databases, user interfaces, and testing. Work primarily with TypeScript, React, Next.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, and related technologies. Integrate third-party services, maintain scalable systems, debug production issues, write automated tests, and make architectural improvements. The role requires ownership, proactive communication, independent execution, and effective use of AI coding tools in a remote, async-first team.

Lead and scale multiple product engineering teams while remaining hands-on with code and architecture. Manage engineering leaders, guide architecture and reliability decisions, review and write code, align priorities with product and customer outcomes, and deliver product and AI capabilities on seasonal deadlines. The role evolves from an approximately even technical and leadership split toward predominantly organizational leadership.

Build and scale backend-focused systems supporting truckload freight operations, including high-volume carrier quotes, automated transactions, distributed services, and APIs. Design scalable data models and architectures, contribute across the React and TypeScript stack, make key technical decisions, mentor engineers, and collaborate with product leadership. The role also involves developing AI-powered logistics tools and maintaining reliable, secure infrastructure on Kubernetes and GCP.

Build and maintain responsive web, PWA, and mobile app experiences; design secure APIs and third-party integrations; develop conversational AI and voice bots; implement targeted messaging, ad-tech, analytics, and A/B testing; and optimize performance, reliability, and uptime. The role requires full-stack development, marketing technology integration, cloud and DevOps fundamentals, and collaboration in a fast-paced startup environment.

Build and maintain full-stack software using TypeScript, Go, and Python, including backend, frontend, and architectural development. Collaborate with developers, designers, product managers, and Department of Defense stakeholders to develop AI-powered solutions, take products from concept to launch, conduct code reviews, and support customers through travel when needed.

Build and own the technical roadmap: design AI-first interfaces and APIs, architect scalable ETL pipelines, develop data models for ML features, ship autonomous B2B workflows (PO generation, vendor sync, schedule optimizations), and establish engineering standards, CI/CD, and mentoring.

R&D intern developing and validating compiler features for high-performance computing. Responsibilities include analyzing CPU/GPU performance, reading PTX and LLVM assembly, implementing hardware intrinsics and mathematical algorithms, fixing compiler bugs, creating benchmarks and demos, and writing technical documentation. The role requires strong C++ or C# skills, understanding of memory management and object-oriented programming, and interest in CUDA, OpenMP, GPU architecture, algorithms, and numerical methods.

Design, build, and scale Shepherd’s core platform, backend systems, APIs, user-facing applications, and AI-powered legal workflows. Architect secure, reliable infrastructure for sensitive legal data, collaborate with legal and product teams, build internal tools, optimize performance, and own technical decisions. The role also involves rapid prototyping, mentoring and recruiting engineers, and contributing to SOC 2 readiness and data privacy practices.

Design, develop, and maintain core database features for VillageSQL Cloud, emphasizing performance, stability, scalability, security, and reliability. Build distributed systems using Go and Kubernetes, collaborate on technical vision and architecture, contribute to open-source projects, participate in code reviews, troubleshoot complex issues, and engage with the developer community. The role focuses on database-as-a-service infrastructure and cloud service evolution.

Work with the development team to build and debug web applications: write Python backend code, create responsive HTML/CSS/JavaScript frontends, integrate frontend and backend, participate in code reviews and testing, learn frameworks and document progress.
