Who we are

At Latitude, we’re building a new category: AI-native games. As the creators of AI Dungeon, we’re pioneering interactive experiences where players can go anywhere, be anyone, and do anything—powered by cutting-edge language models and deep player agency.

We’re entering a new chapter—and to get where we’re going, we need an elite team. Not just smart, but relentless. People who push themselves and their craft. People who could thrive anywhere, but choose to work here because they want to do something singular: help invent the future of gaming.

If you’re the kind of person others rely on, who learns fast, thinks deeply, and builds with care—we’d love to talk.

About the Role:

We’re seeking a Senior Full-Stack Engineer ready to dive deep into code and grow into a tech lead role. You’ll spend ~70% of your time as a senior IC, directly building and enhancing our core platform. The type of person who will thrive is a senior developer who usually ends up leading the team because they are great at what they do.

You'll join a senior-level team with a high bar for engineering quality, fast iteration, and product intuition. We've had multiple founder-level engineers join and immediately thrive—we hire for autonomy, not hierarchy.

If you’ve led teams, owned complex systems, or helped elevate engineering quality in a fast-moving company and are eager to keep your hands in the code, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do:

  • Ship full-stack features across our AI game platform (React/React Native, TypeScript, Next.js, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, etc.)

  • Lead technical design discussions and raise the quality bar via thoughtful code review

  • Drive foundational improvements to our architecture, infrastructure, and developer experience

  • Help us scale both our product and our engineering team as we grow

  • Mentor peers through context sharing and technical collaboration

You Might Be a Fit If You:

  • Are a JavaScript/TypeScript expert with strong React and backend skills

  • Have startup or small team experience—and love the speed and autonomy it enables

  • Have led high-quality engineering teams or platforms at top-tier companies

  • Can balance thoughtful long-term architecture with quick iteration

  • Care deeply about performance, maintainability, and developer experience

  • Thrive on ownership and have a track record of taking projects from idea to impact

Benefits

  • Competitive salary with equity included

  • Medical, dental, and vision: 100% coverage for you and your dependents

  • MacBook Pro + tools you need to do great work

  • Flexible PTO (we recommend 2 days/month and 1 week/quarter off)

  • $100/mo learning fund for courses, books, conferences, or coaching

  • Access to the latest AI tools to accelerate your work

How we hire

We don’t hire lightly. We’re looking for people who’ve proven they’re world-class at what they do—or who are clearly on their way there. People who combine technical strength with humility, creativity with follow-through, and urgency with long-term thinking.

You’ll work with a small, senior team that holds each other to a high bar—and supports each other in reaching it. We care more about trajectory and drive than perfect pedigrees. If you’ve built something exceptional, if you’ve done hard things well, or if you’ve outperformed expectations in surprising ways—tell us.

Latitude is remote-first, though we prioritize deep ties to the Bay Area. Most of all, we prioritize people who want to build something great, together.

If that’s you, apply now. Or reach out even if you’re unsure—we’d rather start a conversation than miss someone who could shape our future.
