Job Description

We're an early-stage, well-funded startup backed by a top-tier VC firm. We partner with Fortune 500 enterprises to deploy and scale agentic AI systems that actually work in production — not just in demos. You're part engineer, part technical advisor. Half your time is building — backend systems, automation workflows, agentic pipelines. The other half is working directly alongside enterprise clients to translate complex requirements into scalable architecture. This is a high-ownership role. You're shaping how systems get built from day one.

Job Responsibility

  • Design and deploy scalable backend systems powering enterprise agentic AI
  • Work directly with Fortune 500 clients to turn business needs into technical architecture
  • Partner with product, research, and platform teams on end-to-end delivery
  • Build cloud-native services and automation workflows across AWS, GCP, or Azure
  • Contribute to open-source projects relevant to our platform and deployments
  • Help shape engineering culture as an early member of a fast-growing team

Requirements

  • 3+ years of backend or platform engineering experience
  • Strong systems design fundamentals
  • Proficiency in Python
  • experience with Rust or Go a plus
  • Solid understanding of cloud architecture and distributed systems
  • Comfort with ambiguity, high autonomy, and fast-moving environments
  • Genuine curiosity about agentic AI systems and modern open-source tooling
  • Ability and willingness to work directly with customers

Nice to have

Experience with Rust or Go

What we offer

  • Greenfield technical work at a company small enough that your decisions matter
  • Top-tier VC backing with real runway
  • Direct exposure to some of the world's largest enterprise AI deployments
  • Open-source contributions welcomed and expected
  • Access to office in Union Square
