Full-Stack Engineer Jobs in the United States

US full-stack engineer roles framed as builder roles cluster at startups under 50 employees. The shared characteristic is no platform team, no infra team, and no QA team. You write the React, the Node or Python backend, the deploy script, and the migration that runs on Friday at 4pm. Compensation runs $140k–$200k base in early-stage US startups, with equity meaningful at companies you'd actually have heard of and largely symbolic at companies you wouldn't.
