• Build intuitive, high-performance frontend experiences using React + Type Script
• Develop reliable backend services in Python, working with distributed systems, data pipelines, and AI/ML infrastructure
• Integrate LLMs, vector databases, and agentic frameworks to power intelligent workflows and decision-making systems
• Ship quickly through tight experimentation loops while maintaining high quality and reliability
• Help define the technical direction and architecture of a brand-new team and product surface
• Adapt across the stack and learn new tools as needed to solve real problems end-to-end

• 5+ years of full-time software engineering experience
• 0-1 product build experience
• Familiarity with LLMs, embeddings, vector databases, or modern AI data products/tools
• Experience with distributed systems and cloud-based architectures
• Prior experience mentoring or leading team

• Strong product intuition and customer empathy
• Bias toward action and rapid iteration
• Ownership mentality - you see problems through to outcomes
• Comfort collaborating across engineering, product, data science, and applied AI
• Excitement about building agentic systems that make AI genuinely useful in the real world
