Own projects end to end across backend, infrastructure, frontend, and agent systems.
-
Set technical standards and choose the stack and engineering practices as the team grows.
-
Ship improvements weekly to people using the product in real businesses.
What We're Looking For
-
At least 2 years shipping production software, or an equivalent track record as a founder or independent builder; exceptional early-career engineers are also encouraged.
-
Experience building and operating production LLM or AI agent systems that real users rely on.
-
Full-stack range across backend, infrastructure, and user interfaces, with the ability to take work from idea to production.
-
Experience making technical decisions in a small team, ideally as a founder, early hire, or technical lead.
-
Strong generalist engineering skills and familiarity with agent orchestration, memory, evaluation, verification, or multi-agent workflows.
-
Ability to explain complex technical decisions and deliver reliably at a fast pace.
