## About the role

This is a true founding engineer role . You won’t just ship features - you’ll define the system. You’ll architect and build an AI-native platform that operates as the investigative brain for compliance teams. This includes agentic reasoning systems, large-scale document ingestion, and user-facing tools that must stand up to regulatory scrutiny.

## What they're looking for

- 1+ years of experience on technical projects with startup experience strongly preferred
- Strong TypeScript and Python skills across modern frontend and backend stacks
- Hands-on experience shipping LLM integrations or RAG systems into production user-facing products
- Experience with document processing, entity extraction, and structured data extraction from messy real-world sources
- Solid grasp of API design, relational databases, and async job processing systems
- Proven track record taking a product from "works locally" to reliable production at growing scale
