About the role
Think about how people dine: where they go, how often they come back, whose taste they trust, which rooms they have a relationship with. We're building Blackbird to answer those questions the way a well-connected friend would. We need a product-minded fullstack engineer to own it.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years shipping production software, owning features end to end
- Able to debug across the stack: a streaming client, application code, SQL, and the boundaries between services
- Real depth with LLM application development: tool calling, context management, retrieval, streaming
- Strong React and TypeScript, fluency in Python, and willingness to work in Kotlin/Spring when the answer lives on the platform side
- Solid Postgres and data modeling instincts, including a feel for what makes retrieval good or bad
- Taste in evaluation: you know the difference between fixing a failing eval and gaming one
