Design and implement backend systems and services built to operate at scale.
Tune and iterate on LLM integrations and AI agent orchestration to improve reliability and efficiency.
Own end-to-end technical challenges across the stack, from architecture decisions to shipping production code.
Collaborate closely within a small, fast-moving engineering team where your contributions have immediate impact.
5+ years of backend software engineering experience delivering scalable systems in production.
Hands-on experience optimizing LLMs and AI agent workflows in live production environments.
Proven track record of shipping software over time; practical experience is valued over formal credentials.
Experience working at fast-growing startups; a startup-motivated mindset is essential.
Strong side-project portfolio demonstrating technical depth and sustained curiosity.
High agency, clear ownership, and intentional career choices that reflect genuine commitment to craft.
