Infilla is on a mission to make more housing happen faster
The US is short 4-7 million homes. Infilla is fixing the slowest part of building them: the permit process. We’re early, funded, moving fast…and you’ll be the one building what makes it possible.
We’ve raised $5M from top-tier investors and already have more customer demand than we can keep up with. As our full-stack engineer, you’ll have massive ownership, ship fast, and see your work be used by government staff in days.
The roleAs our full-stack product engineer, you don’t just write code. You shape the product, tech stack, and culture from the ground up. You’ll work directly with customers, ship daily, and lay the engineering foundation we’ll scale on.
Our tech stack
We chose “boring” technologies to focus on delivering quickly for our customers:
Front end: React with Radix Themes components
Back end: Remix (Node.js) with Prisma ORM (Postgres)
Language: Full-stack TypeScript
Infrastructure: AWS with Terraform
How we use AI
We pair proven foundations with the latest AI tooling to build faster, smarter, and more ambitiously than a typical startup. We don’t ship AI slop.
We integrate agentic architecture into our codebase for automation and smarter workflows.
We experiment with concurrent programming patterns to push the limits of performance.
Every engineer gets unlimited tools, budget, and freedom to explore new AI capabilities.
We sharpen and enhance our skills through pair programming, code walkthroughs, and weekly AI show-and-tells — and tap into top-tier AI mentorship, meetups, and private talks through our dense network.
Our values
Ideas > Hierarchy - Best idea wins regardless of source. Be intellectually honest.
Progress > Perfection - Get it working now and make it pretty later. Be pragmatic.
Courage > Comfort - We do the right thing, even when hard or uncomfortable.
Kind > Nice - Share clear, helpful feedback often. Voice your concerns and listen.
Why people join
You’ll be joining a small, senior team where everyone wears multiple hats and helps each other grow. We’ve spent years solving hard problems in fast-moving environments.
We believe the best work happens when you:
Are empowered to solve real-world, hard problems with the vision of building compound software for government permitting.
Build beautiful software in a domain unused to user-centric design
Collaborate and learn with experienced teammates and former founders with 40+ combined years in engineering, product, and leadership and who’ve built and scaled companies before.
Work with people who take the work seriously, but not themselves. We care about building great products and enjoying the process.
If you want to grow fast, ship meaningful work, and have fun doing it, you’ll fit right in.

We cannot sponsor visas at this time.
Research shows women & minorities are more likely to consider themselves unqualified if they don't meet every single requirement in a job description. This represents what we're ideally looking for, but everyone is unique. We hire for strengths & potential, not lack of weakness.
