Responsibilities
- Design and build the core services, deciding how the system is decomposed, where state lives, and how components communicate
- Work wherever the problem leads, from data model to product surface
- Make deliberate tradeoffs across accuracy, consistency, availability, and latency
- Define the internal APIs and abstractions that determine system trajectory 6+ months out
Qualifications
- You have built non-trivial systems and can speak honestly about what aged well and what did not
- You understand distributed systems tradeoffs well enough to make the right call for a given problem
- You are comfortable on both sides of the stack and choose where to work based on the problem
- You have strong opinions about software design and can defend them without being precious about them
Skills
Benefits
- Competitive base compensation, plus significant equity in a venture-backed company with institutional investors including Google’s Gradient Ventures, General Catalyst, and Y Combinator.

About CTGT
CTGT safeguards against reputational risk from GenAI across your org
Enterprises are paralyzed by the risks of deploying generative AI. Traditional methods like RAG and fine-tuning are brittle, expensive, and fail to prevent costly hallucinations or guarantee compliance in high-stakes environments. This lack of trust stalls innovation and blocks ROI. CTGT ensures strict, auditable adherence to your policies on the fly. We deliver defensible audit trails and remediate noncompliant model behavior, so outputs become more aligned with company policies over time, combating data and model drift. CTGT is backed by Google's AI fund (Gradient), General Catalyst, and luminaries like Paul Graham. We provide the control and confidence necessary to unlock the full potential of enterprise AI.
