About the role

Backend-leaning, AI-native engineer who owns features end-to-end, from database schema to the React component, collaborating with founding team and early customers to ship an AI-powered product and scale the platform.

Responsibilities

  • Work closely with the founding team and early customers to build a world-class AI-powered product.
  • Own features end-to-end — architect the backend (server logic, databases, APIs), build the frontend that exposes them, and ship to production.
  • Partner with our designer and product team to translate user needs into shipped experiences — not just APIs that "the frontend team will integrate later."
  • Engage in the entire application lifecycle with a high bar for coding, debugging, testing, and deploying.
  • Operate as a force multiplier with AI tooling — use coding agents to move 5–10x faster than traditional engineers without sacrificing quality, and continuously evolve how our team builds, reviews, and tests software.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of backend development experience, with demonstrated willingness (or eagerness) to own frontend work.
  • Experience developing products built on top of LLMs / ML.
  • Proficient in Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, containerization and scaling microservices.
  • Comfortable in (or excited to ramp on) TypeScript, React, and modern frontend tooling.
  • Experience building products from zero to one.
  • Ability to seek & find the right resources for solving open-ended problems.
  • Daily, hands-on use of modern coding harnesses (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or equivalent) — not as autocomplete, but as a primary way of shipping production code.
  • Comfortable building and consuming MCP servers to integrate internal tools, data, and workflows into your dev loop.
  • Strong point of view on AI-assisted code review, automated testing, and how to keep quality high when shipping at agent speed.
  • Located in the San Francisco Bay Area or willing to relocate.
  • BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
