Job description
About the Role
Scivora is building a new category in emotional performance intelligence. Our early users—actors, performers, speakers, and founders—rehearse live on camera and receive real-time multimodal feedback on clarity, emotional delivery, presence, and communication patterns.
We are hiring one of two Founding Full-Stack Engineers , with this role leaning deeply into backend architecture, AI pipelines, native iOS-integrated real-time systems, and infrastructure scalability . You will build the core intelligence layer and technical backbone that powers the entire Scivora platform.
This is not a task-execution role . This is a founding technical partner role for an engineer who wants ownership, range, and the opportunity to architect a category-defining product from day zero and grow into long-term technical leadership.
Definition of Full-Stack at Scivora
At Scivora, “full-stack” means mobile + backend + AI :
Native iOS surfaces (Swift, SwiftUI, AVFoundation, camera frameworks)
Backend systems and APIs (Node, Python, distributed services)
AI pipeline integration (multimodal models, LLMs, inference orchestration)
What You Will Do
Backend + AI + Real-Time Infrastructure (Primary Focus)
Architect and implement Scivora’s backend systems (Node, Python)
Build and scale multimodal AI pipelines (vision, audio, NLP, behavioral feature extraction)
Integrate real-time feedback systems across iOS and cloud using WebRTC, WebSockets, and streaming protocols
Implement model routing, inference orchestration, and LLM-powered analysis
Design and optimize the emotional performance scoring engine (fusion models, scenario evaluation, context-aware feedback)
Own database modeling, authentication, user state, and session lifecycle management
Build secure, high-performance camera video ingestion and processing flows for live rehearsal
Optimize real-time emotional feedback rendering performance across mobile and network layers
Establish observability, monitoring, performance tuning, and system reliability
Deploy and manage infrastructure using Kubernetes, Terraform, or equivalent IaC tools
Full-Stack Mobile Responsibilities (Secondary but Required)
Support native iOS frontend engineering for UX/UI
Build internal dashboards and early user-facing tools
Implement limited frontend flows as needed
Collaborate with the frontend / product founding engineer on clean interface contracts between mobile, backend, and AI layers
Participate in and influence system-wide architectural decisions
Ideal Background
5+ years of engineering experience across backend systems, distributed infrastructure, and AI/ML
Advanced proficiency in Python and Node/TypeScript
Experience with PyTorch, transformers, computer vision, and audio pipelines
Strong real-time systems experience (WebRTC, WebSockets, low-latency streaming)
Deep AWS or GCP cloud architecture experience
Strong understanding of camera systems, video pipelines, and mobile performance constraints
Proven ability to translate ambiguous founder vision into scalable, production-ready systems
Who You Are
A founder-minded engineer who wants to build the core engine of a new category
Equally comfortable moving fast in v1 and architecting for long-term scale
Fluent in technical reasoning and product trade-offs
Low-ego, high-range, resilient, and highly communicative
Motivated to grow into long-term technical leadership based on performance and fit
Compensation & Growth
Initial engagement will begin as a paid contract , structured to validate technical and team fit
Full-time salary will transition in once both sides confirm long-term alignment and production stability
Equity is offered as RSUs (Restricted Stock Units) based on role scope, ownership, and long-term impact
Compensation structure is flexible and competitive , aligned to experience and responsibility
This role is designed with a clear path into long-term technical leadership as Scivora scales
