## About the role

Our vision is to make the universe computable. Every pattern of nature, every equation, every experiment, instantly at your fingertips. We’re looking for a Founding SWE who thrives on building systems end-to-end: someone who can take cutting-edge ML models and turn them into production-ready applications, iterate quickly with users, and lay the foundation for a category-defining platform

- Strong software engineering fundamentals — Python, backend frameworks (FastAPI, Flask, etc.), and experience with front-to-back product development
- Experience building and shipping applications that integrate ML/AI systems
- Comfort working across the stack (infra, APIs, data, UI) with a bias toward execution
- Hands-on cloud experience (AWS/GCP/Azure), containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes or equivalent)
- Track record of delivering high-impact systems in fast-moving environments (startup or equivalent)
- Mindset: ownership, urgency, and comfort with ambiguity
