From the original posting

What You'll Do

Build the Core Product

Design and build the intelligence engine end-to-end: data ingestion, model orchestration, reasoning pipelines, API layers, UI integration
Own architecture across stack boundaries to support scalable, evolvable systems

Partner with Founders

Collaborate on roadmap, trade-offs, and technical vision
Ship directly to enterprise clients - your work has immediate, measurable impact

Set the Bar

Define what great engineering looks like in an AI-first organization
Raise the bar for the team as it grows

Who You Are

Must-Haves

At least one undeniable signal of excellence - built and shipped at a top tech company, early engineer at a startup that built something real, notable open source work, or top-tier CS program
Strong engineering fundamentals - distributed systems, data, or AI/ML; we're too small for hand-holding on the technical side
Shipped meaningful products end-to-end - not just features, but systems
Fluent in modern stacks; we care more about how you think than what you know

Strong Signal

Built AI/ML pipelines or worked on LLM-powered products
Experience with enterprise data systems or analytics infrastructure
Has operated in a high-growth, high-ambiguity environment
Thinks like an owner - big picture, not just your part

We're Not Looking For

Engineers who need a full spec before starting - ambiguity is the job
Coasters from large tech - we want people who shipped things that mattered, not maintained things that existed
Pure ML researchers without product instincts - we build for real clients, not benchmarks

Benefits & Perks

Zero to Outcome: Seed stage means you shape the product, the culture, and the trajectory - not inherit them.
Full Health Coverage: Medical, dental, and vision.
