Full Job Description
This is a work from office role at our Bay Area office near Menlo Park.The RoleYou'll design, build, and ship core systems that power our AI platform. You'll work across the stack-backend services, infrastructure, APIs, and product features-and have real ownership over what you build. Expect to move between greenfield work, hardening existing systems, and to have your fingerprints on architecture decisions that matter.

What You'll Do
  • Ship features end-to-end working closely with research and product.
  • Improve foundations: performance, reliability, observability, developer velocity.
  • Raise the engineering bar through code review ad design discussions.
  • Learn about hardware design. Previous experience is not expected, but you should be eager to familiarize yourself with how hardware is developed.

What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years building production software. Internships and teaching assistantships don't count.
  • Strong knowledge of agent development, evaluations
  • Fluency in at least one mainstream backend language (Python, Go, Rust, TypeScript, etc.) and familiarity with either Python or TypeScript
  • A track record of owning meaningful systems or features and not just contributing to them.

Bonus Points For
  • Experience in EDA, semiconductor, or hardware-adjacent software environments
  • Background in ML infrastructure, model training, or model serving
  • Experience at an early-stage startup where you wore multiple hats
