A Ground-Floor Role for Product-Obsessed EngineersThis isn’t just another early-stage startup. They’re a small, highly skilled team tackling one of the toughest challenges in applied AI: turning messy data from real businesses into reliable, automated workflows.
They believe the best engineers don’t box themselves into frontend or backend. They’re looking for people who are obsessed with product, engineers who want to build the thing end to end, sweat the details, and make something real.
The Mission
Foundation models are getting smarter, but they still don’t understand how businesses truly operate. This team is fixing that by creating a layer of context and nuance that makes AI actually work for real teams.
The Role
Build and ship full-stack features in Python and TypeScript
Collaborate directly with customers to turn unstructured chaos into clear, automated systems
Own the product from infrastructure to UX, because the line between backend and frontend is blurry when you’re building something that matters
Iterate fast, learn faster, and keep raising the bar for quality
What They’re Looking For
Solid coding skills in Python, TypeScript, or both
A history of going deep into something, whether that’s a side project, a game engine, or a trading system
Engineers who care more about what they’re building than where they sit on an org chart
People who want to see their work in production, not in endless prototypes
What They’re Not Looking For
Someone who only wants to polish a pixel-perfect UI or fine-tune the 10th database index
Engineers who need a Jira ticket to tell them what to do next
People who’d rather just talk about shipping than actually ship
Why This Matters
This isn’t a thin AI wrapper or a prototype stuck in pitch deck purgatory. They’re already live with customers, making real businesses smarter and faster. As foundation models get better, their work only becomes more valuable.
For those who want to be part of something that’s shipping fast and building real-world impact, this is the place. No fancy cover letters required, just show them what you’ve built and what you want to build next.
