This is a hands-on, early-stage role where you will architect, build, ship, and iterate rapidly—working closely with the founder and early customers to shape both the product and the engineering culture. This is a true founding role, not a maintenance position. You will write production code daily, lead early technical decisions, and help build a strong engineering team as the company scales. Key Responsibilities Own the full lifecycle of backend-heavy product development, including architecture, development, testing, deployment, and scaling. Design and build scalable, reliable systems across backend and frontend layers, with a strong focus on backend architecture. Ship high-impact product features at high velocity; rapid iteration is a core expectation. Build AI-native product workflows using LLMs, agentic frameworks, RAG pipelines, and modern AI models (application-focused, not model training). Collaborate closely with the founder and customers to translate real-world requirements into robust technical solutions. Solve complex technical problems through experimentation, strong engineering practices, and pragmatic decision-making. Write production-grade code while mentoring and collaborating with a small engineering team of junior developers. Take complete ownership of product delivery in a small, high-caliber founding team and help establish long-term technical direction. Requirements 2+ years of full-time experience in early-stage startups (pre-seed or seed), building end-to-end products from scratch. Strong problem-solving ability, high ownership mindset, and comfort operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments. Hands-on experience developing and deploying applications using: Backend: TypeScript, Node.js, Express, Postgres Frontend: React Infrastructure & Tools: AWS (EC2, Lambda, S3), Redis, RabbitMQ, Selenium, third-party APIs Deep understanding of backend system design, including microservices, scheduling, load balancing, proxies, monitoring, advanced database queries, networking, and scalability. Proven experience designing scalable systems; ability to reverse-engineer and improve existing architectures is a plus. Experience building AI-native applications using LLMs, agent frameworks, and modern developer tools (e.g., Cursor, Lovable) to maximize speed and quality. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (graduates from 2023 or earlier).
