## About the role

We're looking for Backend Engineers who care deeply about the craft of building software: strong typing, thoughtful API design, robust data modeling, and systems that are a pleasure for other engineers to work with. You won't be building AI models, you'll be building everything around them: the platform, workflows, interfaces, integrations, and observability that make our AI useful in the real world.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years of experience in software engineering (but a computer science degree is not necessarily required)
- A love of writing Python and/or TypeScript to a genuinely high standard–well-modeled, well-typed, and well-documented. Strong typing feels like a superpower, not a chore
- Experience building libraries, SDKs, or internal tooling that made other developers' lives easier (and you’ve enjoyed it)
- You light up when designing a clean database schema and take real pride in getting data models right
- You're at your best when you own a problem end to end — comfortable with ambiguity and energized by turning a vague problem into a well-scoped solution
- You're drawn to building foundational systems from scratch — greenfield work where your decisions compound over time excites you
