  • Work closely with customers to ship high-impact features driven by real-world use.
  • Partner with product to define the roadmap and bring new AI tooling to life.

Must haves:

  • 3+ years of experience in full-stack or backend engineering with expertise in scalable system design and architecture
  • Strong product sense focused on great user experiences and strategic thinking to meet market and customer needs.
  • You’re all-in and committed to building a generational AI company, far beyond a 9 to 5 job.

Nice to haves:

  • Built and operated production AI systems and are familiar with AI inference techniques.
  • Optimized language runtimes and enable cross-language integration (e.g., Go, Python, C), including customizing or building WASM compilers and runtimes.
  • Experience with machine learning algorithms, platforms, and frameworks like PyTorch and Tensorflow.

Compensation

The base salary ranges between $175,000–$225,000+ USD, plus a generous equity package. Final comp will be based on experience and skills.
