## About the role

We're looking for a full-stack founding engineer to help build Airweave's product layer that connects AI to user data. At Airweave, you'll work across the entire system: from the search pipelines that power AI agents, to the sync infrastructure that keeps data flowing, to the APIs, MCPs, and frontend that developers use every day. You'll ship features that land in production the same day.

## What they're looking for

- You've built and shipped applications end-to-end
- You like understanding how systems fit together, not just your slice
- You're comfortable moving between frontend and backend work
- You have familiarity with transformers, embeddings, and information retrieval
- You've worked with async Python, TypeScript, or similar
- You know how to productionize your work using Git, CI/CD, and Docker
