About the Company

Orbit is an SF-based AI startup. An AI college admissions counselor helping high school students get into their dream college with ease and access.

About the Role

You'd be our senior full-stack engineer, working directly with the founders on a codebase you'll shape rather than inherit. This is a small team, so the scope is wide: you'll own features end to end, from schema design through the API layer to what the student sees.

Responsibilities
- Agentic execution. We’re building Cowork — the layer that moves Orbit from giving advice to doing the work. Finding relevant research labs and drafting the outreach, chasing recommendation letters, tracking deadlines across a dozen portals. This is event-sourced agent infrastructure with real reliability requirements, because the failure mode isn't a bad answer, it's a missed deadline a student can't get back.
- AI systems that have to be right. Solvi runs on frontier LLMs, but the value is in the layer we own: retrieval over student context, prompt and orchestration architecture,



and the evaluation harness that tells us whether a change made things better. If you've built LLM systems past the demo stage and know how much of the work is in the evals, you'll recognize this problem.

Qualifications
- 3+ years building and shipping production software, with real ownership of what you built
- Robust TypeScript/React and Python — our stack is Next.js on Vercel, FastAPI services, and Postgres on Supabase
- Comfort designing relational schemas and reasoning about query performance, not just consuming an ORM
- Experience building on LLM APIs in production, including the unglamorous parts: evals, cost, latency, and failure handling
- Judgment about when to build the durable version and when to ship the version that answers the question this week

Required Skills
- Nice to have: browser automation, third-party integration work (SFTP, CRMs, OAuth), Azure, or prior time at a seed-stage company.
