Software Engineer

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to join the founding team to own the core agent and data systems development. This is an intense role that will be fun for the right person. You will have a lot of autonomy and build across the stack.

Who You Are

You’re a Software Engineer who has a strong grasp on building systems and handling large amounts of data, with a desire to get hands-on with advanced AI/ML work.

What You’ll Build

  • Implement the core agent architecture (state, tools, workflows, evaluations)

  • Lead the infrastructure development on AWS / GCP and other cloud providers

  • Contribute across both the backend and frontend of the product

  • Design and maintain data ingestion pipelines that turn messy inputs into structured, usable context

  • Integrate LLMs, embeddings, and retrieval infrastructure into production systems

  • Build guardrails, evals, and observability to ensure reliability, performance, and cost control

  • Work closely with founders and product to translate real user needs into shipped functionality

You likely have:

  • 3+ years of experience as a backend, platform, or infrastructure engineer

  • Strong fundamentals in data structures, APIs, async systems, and distributed services

  • Experience building production data pipelines, ETL systems, or search/retrieval infrastructure

  • Strong capability working with Python and TypeScript in production

Ideal to have:

  • Experience in a startup building a product

  • Background in developer tools, infra, or technical products

  • Experience handling unstructured or domain-specific data
