## About the role

The specifics matter less than the pattern. We are looking for someone who has shipped real things in hard domains, has genuine depth with LLM and ML integration (not just API calls), and has used AI coding tools not as a crutch but as a genuine multiplier. If you have built a product end-to-end — backend, frontend, deployment — and you have strong opinions about how to do it well, we want to talk.

## What they're looking for

- Deep experience integrating LLMs and ML into products (e.g., LangChain, vector DBs, prompt design, model outputs into product)
- A track record of shipping real products—ideally in vertical SaaS, internal tools, ML/analytics platforms, or enterprise software
- The ability to not just write code, but think in product—understanding UX, user value, and workflows
- A strong desire to work in-person, as an Individual Contributor, with a small team to move fast and win together
- Have 5+ years of full-stack or backend-heavy engineering experience
- Have LLM and/or ML integration experience (e.g., LangChain, vector DBs, prompt design, model outputs into product)
