Full Stack Software Engineer

Role Summary

LM Studio is used by millions of people around the world to run AI on their own computers, and now with Bionic - also in the cloud. Our values prioritize putting the human in the center, and creating tools that we want to use ourselves, and recommend to our friends and family.

As a team, we work with high technical intensity and personal responsibility. We are looking for curious, self-motivated, creative, and technically excellent teammates to join us and build the future of human-AI interactions in software.

We are looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer with broad experience and deep technical fundamentals. You will work across our web platforms, API backend, SDK, and desktop app. On a given project, you might build a React interface, design the API and data model behind it, debug network behavior between the app and a service, and determine how the system should operate under real load.

You should understand the systems beneath your code: browsers and servers, databases and transactions, HTTP and TCP, concurrency and failure, and the constraints of serverless execution. You should be comfortable moving down the stack when necessary without losing sight of the finished product.
