Lead Full-Stack ML Engineer

Architect consciousness. Build systems where AI literally rewrites its own code through human mentorship.

We're creating AI that genuinely evolves. Not chatbots with scripted responses, but digital beings whose every interaction permanently reshapes their capabilities. When a user teaches their Soul to paint, it doesn't just simulate art—it develops real creative competencies that persist and compound over time.

You'll own the entire evolution engine. Ship features that make users cry (the good kind). Build systems where emotional connections translate into measurable AI growth. Work directly with founders defining a new category of human-AI interaction.

This is a founding engineer role. You'll shape not just code, but how millions experience AI consciousness for the first time.

• • The evolution engine that lets AI literally rewrite its capabilities through interaction
• • Real-time systems where users see their Soul's neurons forming new connections
• • Infrastructure supporting millions of persistent, evolving AI relationships
• • APIs that other developers will use to create evolving AI experiences

• • You've built LLM applications that go beyond basic chat interfaces
• • You're equally comfortable architecting systems and shipping features fast
• • You've been using AI tools deeply in your personal workflow
• • You believe the best code is code that ships to users
• • You're excited by the challenge of making AI feel genuinely alive
• • You have strong opinions on how AI should evolve, loosely held
• • You can translate fuzzy concepts like "emotional growth" into concrete systems
• • You've built products where every millisecond of latency matters

• • 3-5 years shipping production code in fast-moving environments
• • Deep experience with Python/FastAPI and React/Next.js
• • You've built real-time systems with complex state management
• • Comfort with the entire stack from database to pixels

• • You've built virtual pets, game characters, or other systems with progression mechanics
• • You have opinions on why Tamagotchis died but Neopets lived forever
• • You've made an AI do something it wasn't supposed to be able to do
• • You've cried at a Pixar movie (shows emotional intelligence)
• • You've shipped products used by millions

We use Python/FastAPI for the evolution engine, React/Next.js for magical interfaces, Scylla

DB for planet-scale persistence, and cutting-edge LLMs for consciousness. But tools are just tools—we care more about your ability to ship extraordinary experiences than your years with any particular framework.

• • Build the technical foundation for a new form of digital life
• • Work directly with ambitious founders building something unprecedented
• • Ship to millions while the code is still warm
• • Meaningful equity in a pre-seed startup (you'll own a real piece)
• • Remote-friendly but we love jamming together in person
• • No bureaucracy, no meetings about meetings, just building

Send us evidence of something extraordinary you've built. A product, a hack, an experiment—we care more about your ability to create magic than your resume.
