Job description
What it means to be an early engineer
Joining Vellum this early means that you’re going to play a huge part in guiding both the technical and cultural evolution of the company. Together, we’re going to face the hardest technical challenges this journey has to offer head-on. As the team grows, you’ll be the battle hardened expert that everyone looks towards for guidance.
With great power comes great responsibility.
What you’re signing up for
Tackling our most difficult (and interesting) problems - prompt chaining, fine-tuning infrastructure, and multimodality, just to name a few
Designing, architecting, and building robust critical infrastructure
Owning our most important backend systems
Defining and scoping green-field projects that move the company forward
Working closely with customers to understand what the need, figuring out how to make them successful, and owning the solutions end to end
Serving as a cultural pillar of the team
Navigating a fast-moving, highly competitive landscape
Our stack
Google Cloud Platform - as our cloud provider
Postgres - as our primary database
Python - what we write our backend in
Django - for our webservers
Flask - for our microservices
Typescript - what we write our frontend in
React - as our frontend framework
Working at Vellum
We’re laser focused on helping companies bring AI into production and providing real business value. Decision making is simple: if what we do allows our users to increase how many use cases of AI they’re able to successfully put into production, then we do it!
Don’t just cut corners. Cut the right corners (i.e. reduce scope, not quality). What can you do with 10% of your time to get 90% of the desired impact? Now that you only spent 10% of the time on this task, imagine how much more can be done with the rest of your time!
Everyone is a 1000x engineer/designer/pm when they’re passionate about the problems they’re solving and love the people they’re working with
Because we trust each other, we can move fast and have fun doing it
P.S. Why the name Vellum?
Vellum is a type of paper - the Magna Carta was written on Vellum. We intend to be the standard source of record in production
You can’t spell Vellum without LLM
