Full-Stack Engineer
WickedFile · Atlanta, GA (Onsite) · Full-time.
Why this job exists:
WickedFile is the AI-powered AP automation platform for auto repair shops. Our founder spent 40 years running shops, lost $180K to parts theft in a single year, and saw the same leak happen across the industry.
We built the “carbon monoxide detector” for the back office: invoices, repair orders, vendor statements, and credits reconciled automatically so owners stop quietly losing money they already earned.
Customers are recovering thousands of dollars per month within weeks of go-live. Demand is outpacing what our small team can ship, so we’re hiring.
The role:
You’ll work directly with the founders and a small engineering team. No middle layers, no ticket treadmill. You’ll ship features that customers feel immediately across backend services, ingestion pipelines, and the product UI.
We’re looking for a highly technical engineer who can help modernize the platform with pragmatic AI-native tooling. You should be comfortable improving legacy systems, introducing better architecture incrementally, and shipping production-grade AI features that create measurable customer value.
Our current stack is primarily:
- Node.js + Express services
- Vue/Quasar frontend apps
- MongoDB + Redis caching patterns.
- Document/OCR and message-driven processing (including Java/Spring components).
- AWS-hosted infrastructure.
If you want real ownership in a company where your code lands in customer workflows fast, this is that role.
What you’ll do:
- Ship features end-to-end across services and UI.
- Build and harden document ingestion and reconciliation pipelines.
- Own meaningful surface area: design, implement, support, improve.
- Partner with founders and occasionally join customer calls to close the loop between product and real shop pain.
- Raise quality bar: challenge weak assumptions and propose better paths.
- Modernize core services and internal tooling without disrupting customer workflows.
- Identify high-ROI AI opportunities (classification, extraction, anomaly detection, workflow. automation) and ship them end-to-end.
- Improve developer velocity through better architecture, observability, and automation.
- Evaluate where LLMs belong in the stack and where deterministic systems are the better choice.
What we’re looking for:
- 3-6 years building production software as a full-stack or backend engineer.
- Strong Node.js fundamentals; comfortable building APIs and async/background workflows.
- Comfortable in modern frontend work (Vue, React, or both) and willing to work in Vue/Quasar today.
- Strong database instincts (query design, indexing, data modeling, tradeoffs).
- Can take ambiguous problems from idea to shipped customer value.
- Clear technical judgment and ability to explain decisions.
We don’t care about pedigree. Degree, bootcamp, self-taught, career-switcher it’s all fine. We care about what you’ve built and how you think.
Bonus points:
- Startup experience on small teams with broad ownership.
- Experience in document processing, OCR, AP/accounting, or reconciliation workflows.
- Experience with LLM-assisted workflows and practical opinions about where they do/do not work.
- Experience owning production infrastructure and on-call quality.
What we offer:
- Salary: $110,000.
- Equity in a company already delivering measurable ROI for customers.
- Health, dental, vision.
- In-person team in Atlanta.
- Founder with deep domain experience and direct customer signal.
How to apply:

- A link to something you built (repo, shipped app, teardown, or case study).
- A few sentences on the hardest bug you’ve fixed in production.
- Resume or LinkedIn (optional).
