- Develop and maintain backend systems, APIs, and infrastructure for production AI workloads.

- Collaborate with the founding team on product direction and technical strategy.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- At least 5 years of professional software engineering experience and a record of shipping products.
- Full-stack product engineering skills across frontend, backend, and production infrastructure.
- Hands-on experience building and deploying AI-powered products, LLM applications, or agent workflows.
