This is a senior, foundational engineering role. The architecture, standards, and systems built now are the ones the rest of the company will be built on. You'll operate with full autonomy — in a team this small, your judgment directly shapes the product, the codebase, and the company's trajectory.

Requirements
Responsibilities
- Architect and build the core backend and platform from the ground up — the foundational systems everything else

depends on.
- Design and ship LLM agents that reason over large, messy, real-world organizational data, and make them reliable

enough to trust.
- Make the foundational calls — architecture, infrastructure, data, tooling — and set the bar for engineering quality on

the team.
- Operate with full autonomy, owning problems end to end in a small, high-leverage team

Must-Haves




- Years of experience building and operating backend and platform systems at real scale — the person your team

turned to for the hardest problems.
- Deep expertise in Python, distributed/platform systems, API design, and SQL data stores; comfortable owning systems

end to end, from design through production.
- A track record of leading ambiguous, high-impact projects end to end — setting technical direction, not just executing

against someone else's.
- Hands-on experience (or strong, quick-forming intuition) with LLMs, agentic frameworks, and RAG, with a feel for

building dependable products on top of nondeterministic models.
- Genuine excitement for the scope, pace, and consequence of an early-stage company over the structure of a large

one.
- Has owned and operated systems at meaningful scale at a strong engineering org — Staff / Senior Staff /

Principal-level scope, even if the title varies. Scope and impact matter more than tenure or a year count.
- Example signal: Staff
