The AI OS for Cities. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
As a founding engineer and first full-time hire, you’ll be a cornerstone in building out the EffiGov platform and team. You’ll ship features, design scalable architectures, implement cutting edge tools and research, all in service of delivering for our early customers by any means necessary. You strike the right balance between scrappiness and elegance - we do everything manually or hardcode at least twice, only building the right processes or abstractions if there’s a third time.
What they're looking for
- 1-5 years of experience as an engineer shipping full stack solutions in an elite, high velocity team
- 1+ years of experience deploying LLMs (ideally voice AI) to production for thousands of users
- Experience with some of our tech stack: Python, FastAPI, Typescript, Next JS, Docker, MongoDB, AWS (ECS Fargate), OpenAI embeddings, LiveKit, Twilio
- A degree or significant coursework in a quantitative subject (CS, math, statistics, physics, or engineering)
- Demonstrated initiative and “love of the game”: Examples could include projects with real users, hackathon wins or awards, and open-source contributions
