What You'll DoBuild the Core Product
- Design and build the intelligence engine end-to-end: data ingestion, model orchestration, reasoning pipelines, API layers, UI integration
- Own architecture across stack boundaries to support scalable, evolvable systems
Partner with Founders
- Collaborate on roadmap, trade-offs, and technical vision
- Ship directly to enterprise clients - your work has immediate, measurable impact
Set the Bar
- Define what great engineering looks like in an AI-first organization
- Raise the bar for the team as it grows
Who You AreMust-Haves
- At least one undeniable signal of excellence - built and shipped at a top tech company, early engineer at a startup that built something real, notable open source work, or top-tier CS program
- Strong engineering fundamentals - distributed systems, data, or AI/ML; we're too small for hand-holding on the technical side
- Shipped meaningful products end-to-end - not just features, but systems
- Fluent in modern stacks; we care more about how you think than what you know
Strong Signal- Built AI/ML pipelines or worked on LLM-powered products
- Experience with enterprise data systems or analytics infrastructure
- Has operated in a high-growth, high-ambiguity environment
- Thinks like an owner - big picture, not just your part
We're Not Looking For - Engineers who need a full spec before starting - ambiguity is the job
- Coasters from large tech - we want people who shipped things that mattered, not maintained things that existed
- Pure ML researchers without product instincts - we build for real clients, not benchmarks
Who You'll Work WithOur founders bring deep technology experience (Google-scale systems serving hundreds of millions of users) and domain expertise in high-stakes business decisions from top consulting and private equity firms. You'll be the connective tissue between these worlds, and between the company we are today and the company we're becoming.
