Software Engineer - All Levels

About Genius AI Genius AI is building technology to help local businesses run themselves. Genius AI products do the admin work that keeps practitioners from the work they love and the people they serve. From GlossGenius to Reception, its products work 24/7 on busywork like booking, marketing, client management, finances, staff and inventory management, and more. Genius AI technology has saved businesses 106M in admin hours, earned them $2.0B in additional revenue, and facilitated more than 624M client touch points. About The Role Genius AI is building an agentic workforce: AI systems that act on behalf of appointment-based business owners, not just assist them. The engineers who join now will be the ones who architect it. We're hiring across two paths: product engineers who work at the intersection of AI capabilities and customer problems, shipping the features that put agentic tools directly in front of the businesses we serve; and platform engineers who build the scalable, reliable infrastructure that makes those AI products possible in the first place. Whichever path you're on, the expectation is the same: you build with AI as the default layer underneath how you work, not a tool you reach for occasionally. You must be commutable to our NYC headquarters and will operate in a hybrid environment. We default to being in-office 3–4 days per week with required attendance on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
