About the role

  • Scale the stack: Shape our architecture across model interfaces, data pipelines, vector DBs, and streaming infrastructure
  • Learn from the field: Join sales and customer calls to understand real-world pain points, pressure-test features, and translate feedback into product improvements

Responsibilities
