Job Description

The Company  

We are a small, well-funded, and deeply passionate team of builders at the very beginning of our journey. We have a bold vision, a solid foundation, and a massive market opportunity. The one thing we're missing is you. 

We aren't looking for an employee. We're looking for a partner—a true builder who wants to get in on the ground floor and leave their mark on an entire industry. 

The Role: More Than an Engineer, a Co-Builder  

This isn't just another senior engineering role. This is a rare opportunity to join as a foundational member of our technical team, with an impact equivalent to that of a technical co-founder. You will be the gravitational center for our technology, shaping our product, our culture, and our future from day one. 

You'll be our hands-on expert, writing the critical code that brings our vision to life. You'll be our architect, making the foundational decisions about our multi-cloud infrastructure and AI strategy. And you'll be our leader, helping to build our engineering culture from the ground up and mentoring the first generation of engineers who join our mission. 

What You'll Build (Your Impact)  

  • Architect Our Foundation from Scratch: You will design and implement our core infrastructure across a multi-cloud environment ( AWS, Azure, and GCP ). These are not legacy systems; you are setting the cornerstone for everything that follows. 
  • Build the Core Product: You will spend the majority of your time hands-on, writing clean, scalable, and beautiful code that forms the heart of our platform. Your code will be the product. 
  • Weave Intelligence into Our DNA: You will be instrumental in integrating AI and machine learning into our product from the very beginning. You’ll work to build the data pipelines, deploy the models, and create the intelligent features that will set us apart. 
  • Define Our Technical Culture: You won’t just join a culture; you’ll help create it. You will establish the engineering best practices, the standards for quality, and the collaborative, innovative spirit that will define us. 
  • Help Build Your Team: You will be a key voice in recruiting, interviewing, and mentoring the next brilliant engineers who join us on this journey. 

Who You Are (The Ideal Founder-in-Spirit)

 

You are a builder at heart, driven by a relentless desire to create something new, meaningful, and from the ground up. 

  • An Owner's Mindset: You think like an owner. The success of the product is your success. You feel a deep sense of responsibility and pride in what you build. 
  • Thrives in Ambiguity: You aren't just comfortable with uncertainty; you're energized by it. You see a blank whiteboard as an opportunity, not a problem. 
  • Pragmatic Visionary: You can dream big about what's possible in two years while making ruthlessly pragmatic decisions about what we need to build and ship next week. 
  • Product-Obsessed: You care deeply about the 'why' behind the code. You're passionate about the user and obsessed with creating an experience that solves their problems. 
  • Technical Arsenal:  
  • 5+ years of experience, but your impact and mindset matter more than your years. 
  • Demonstrated mastery of building and scaling systems on at least one major cloud platform ( AWS, Azure, or GCP ), with hands-on experience across all three. 
  • Proven experience building systems that support or integrate with AI/ML workloads
  • A history of leading complex technical projects and a passion for mentoring others. 
  • You are a master of your chosen tools (e.g., Java, Python, Go, C#) but are always excited to pick up new ones. 

Why Join Us on This Journey?  

  • Foundational Equity: This is more than a salary. It's a significant and meaningful stake in the company you are helping to build from the ground floor. Your success is our success. 
  • Total Autonomy & Trust: We are hiring you to be the expert. You will define the 'how.' We will give you the freedom and trust to make the right technical decisions, period. 
  • Unmatched Impact: Your fingerprints will be on everything—the product, the technology, the team, the culture. The work you do here will be the most impactful of your career. 
  • The Thrill of the Build: Experience the unparalleled excitement of building something from zero to one with a small, dedicated team chasing a massive vision. 

 

If you're tired of maintaining legacy systems and navigating bureaucracy, and you're ready to build something that truly matters, we need to talk. Let's build this together.
