  • Develop foundational data infrastructure for single-tenant and multi-tenant deployments at terabyte scale.

  • Own end-to-end delivery of production agents for customer use cases.

  • Design a context layer that captures how companies operate and supports their workflows.

  • Work directly with customers to understand business goals and translate them into product capabilities.

  • Help shape engineering practices, product direction, and team culture.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 3 years of backend or full-stack engineering experience, with strong debugging skills in production environments.

  • Experience with Python or another server-side language, plus TypeScript and customer-facing product development.

  • Familiarity with data pipelines, data extraction systems, and cross-stack technical design.

  • Fluency with AI-native development tools and workflows, including coding agents and tool integrations.

  • Strong CS fundamentals, demonstrated through education or equivalent software engineering experience.

  • Experience in a high-engineering-bar environment, or as a founder or founding engineer at a venture-backed startup with demonstrated traction.

  • Experience with payment systems or agent architectures is a plus.
