As a Founding Member of the Technical Staff (Software) at Architect, you’ll build the core developer platform that powers AI-driven chip design. You’ll own the full stack—developing intuitive, high-performance systems using Type Script, Python, and modern frameworks—while integrating cutting‑edge AI features and models in collaboration with our ML team. This is a foundational engineering role where you’ll design the architecture for the platform, optimize local deployments, and build seamless interfaces for chip engineers to interact with intelligent design agents.

You’ll shape the developer experience end-to-end—from indexing massive codebases to building scalable databases—and make critical technical decisions that define the product. Expect to ship fast, iterate daily, and leave your fingerprints on every layer of a system redefining how hardware gets built.
