Software Engineer (DreamLever)

DreamLever / MilesAI Inc. New York City preferred (Hybrid)

ABOUT DREAMLEVER

DreamLever is the AI a company shares. It learns the business through meeting conversations, connects what's happening across people, teams, and goals, and uses AI agents to move work forward.

Founded by Brandon Katz, a former Chief of Staff who helped scale a company from 35 to more than 250 people, DreamLever turns firsthand experience building and running a company's management system into software. The product is live with paying customers, including a company with roughly 145 weekly active users across departments. Our external engineering partner, Scope Labs, helped build the product and continues to contribute, providing engineering support and knowledge of the existing system as we build our in-house team.

THE ROLE

As a Software Engineer at DreamLever, you'll join our small in-house engineering team and help build and ship a live, customer-facing product. You'll write code every day, take features from idea to release, and grow quickly with hands-on support from DreamLever's founding engineer and founder.

You'll collaborate closely with the founding team: the founder who leads the product vision and prototypes in detail, and the founding engineer who sets the technical direction. Expect regular working sessions, code reviews, and pairing, plus room to take real ownership of features as you ramp up.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Ship product improvements. Build across the full stack, using coding agents effectively to move faster and ship well-tested code regularly.
• Turn product direction into working software. Take direction, prototypes, and feedback from the founder and founding engineer through implementation and polish, and confirm the finished experience does what customers need.
• Collaborate with the founding team. Work side by side with the founder and founding engineer on planning, technical decisions, and code review, and bring your own ideas to the table.
• Learn the existing system. Get to know the architecture, integrations, and data flows well enough to build confidently on a live codebase.
• Help improve Miles's AI quality. Support work on how Miles, DreamLever's AI Chief of Staff agent, uses company context and takes action: evaluate its outputs, investigate failures, and iterate on reliability.
• Keep the codebase healthy. Fix bugs, add tests, and keep code and documentation clear so the team can move faster and safer.

WHO YOU ARE

• A builder who ships. You love writing software, use coding agents fluently, and take responsibility for the quality of your work.
• A fast learner. You get oriented in unfamiliar codebases, ask focused questions, and turn direction into working software without needing every step spelled out.
• Focused on outcomes. You understand what a change is meant to do for the customer and follow through until it does.
• Solid across the stack. You can work through backend systems, integrations, data models, and user-facing experiences, and you debug methodically.
• Curious about AI. You're interested in how LLM-powered features work and how context, evaluation, and system design affect their quality.
• Collaborative and open to feedback. You enjoy working closely with founders and teammates, take feedback well, and care more about a great result than whose idea wins.
• Energized by an early-stage pace. You want real ownership and the drive to keep up a high level of output.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Approximately 2–4 years of experience building and shipping production software, with ownership of features from implementation through release
• Strong full-stack engineering skills, including experience with APIs, integrations, and asynchronous workflows
• Demonstrated ability to learn, extend, and improve an existing production codebase
• Hands-on experience using AI coding agents to accelerate development; experience shipping LLM-enabled features is a plus
• Solid computer-science fundamentals, whether developed through formal study or practical experience
• Experience working with founders, product leaders, or other non-engineering stakeholders is a plus
• Clear written and verbal communication
• US-based. New York City area strongly preferred; remote candidates will still be considered
• Familiarity with our current stack: TypeScript (Next.js + React), Postgres (Supabase)

We care more about demonstrated ability, judgment, passion, and ownership than exact years of experience or résumé shape. If this sounds like your kind of work, we'd love to hear from you.

COMPENSATION

Base salary: $120,000 to $180,000, depending on experience and demonstrated ability.
