About the role

  • You'll play a key role in architecting and implementing the systems that power our AI-driven platform, helping define how we integrate large language models (LLMs), knowledge graphs, and intelligent workflows into enterprise-scale software.
  • This is a hands-on role for someone who codes deeply, thinks systemically, and wants to shape the future of AI-augmented engineering.

Responsibilities

  • Design and evolve AI-native services that embed LLMs and reasoning capabilities directly into product workflows.
  • Work cross-functionally with product, design, and data teams to infuse AI-powered intelligence into the user and developer experience.
  • Drive architectural decisions that balance rapid experimentation with long-term scalability and reliability.
  • Backend First: Lead design, implementation, testing, and deployment of backend services, APIs (REST/GraphQL), and core data infrastructure that power scalable enterprise workflows.
  • Full Stack Delivery: Build user-facing features where needed, connecting frontend UI with backend systems - you'll own the full path from browser to database.
  • Collaboration: Partner with designers, frontend engineers, and infrastructure teams to translate product thinking into real, high-impact solutions.
  • Security & Compliance: Build with enterprise-grade security and compliance in mind from the start (SOC 2, ISO 27001).
  • Build foundational product features for an AI-first enterprise platform

Requirements

  • Backend Languages: Proficiency in one or more modern backend languages (Python, Go, Rust, C++, etc.) and designing distributed systems.
  • Databases & Storage: Strong hands-on experience with NoSQL and (ideally) graph or databases.
  • Cloud & DevOps: Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and infrastructure as code (Terraform).
  • Proficiency in one or more modern backend languages (Python, Go, Rust, C++, etc.) and designing distributed systems.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and infrastructure as code (Terraform).
  • comfortable contributing across the stack.
  • Frontend Fluency: Familiar with modern frontend frameworks (React, Vue, Angular) and comfortable building or iterating on UI components that interface with your backend.
  • Problem Solving Mindset: Pragmatic, product-driven engineer who thrives in high-velocity startup environments and can balance backend complexity with UI quality.
  • Bonus: Experience integrating AI/LLM features or working with enterprise workflow systems.

Nice to have

  • Prior experience with high-throughput or low-latency systems.
  • Contributions to open-source projects or a strong portfolio of technical work.

  • Help define modern best practices for AI-augmented software engineering.
  • Experience integrating AI/LLM features or working with enterprise workflow systems.
  • The opportunity to take ownership of critical systems that scale to millions of users
  • A culture that values craftsmanship, autonomy, and technical excellence
  • Work from our Flatiron District, Manhattan office, where you'll be side-by-side with the founding team in a supportive, collaborative setting.

Skills

  • Help define and evolve our architecture - from backend systems and databases to the UI frameworks and client integrations that consume them.
