Collaborate with the product and design teams to deliver high-quality products that meet customer needs
Stay up-to-date with the latest AI and software engineering trends and technologies
Mentor junior engineers: pair on hard problems, review code thoughtfully, and help them level up
Requirements
Bachelor’s in CS, engineering, math, physics, or related: demonstrated ability matters more than credential
1 - 3 years as a software engineer (strong candidates have shipped something with real users)
Strong fluency in at least one backend language (Python, TypeScript, or similar) and a modern web stack
Solid grasp of system design fundamentals (e.g., API design, data modeling, async patterns, caching, and queues)

Nice to have
Production experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and CI/CD pipelines
AI‑serious: you’ve built something with LLMs (a RAG system, an agent, a fine‑tuned model, a real integration)
What You’ll Get
Proven product: Customers are live; this isn’t a bet on an unproven thesis
AI‑native: In how we build, how we work, and what we sell
Stage: Early enough to shape how the company scales
Global: Based in New York with offices in SF and London
Culture: Sharp, low‑ego team that keeps raising the bar
Growth: The learning curve is steep
