**_Are you excited by the opportunity to become a part of a badass team leading the AI-first data revolution?_**

**_Do you thrive on solving hard problems (individually and collectively), yet humble and hungry to learn and grow within a team on your path to greatness?_**

**_Do you desire to become a part of a close-knit pack led by SV startup veterans who can accelerate your growth 10X (compared to the corporate trajectory/culture)?_**

**_If you’ve answered with 3 resounding "yes", then we want to meet you!_**

We are seeking a passionate and proactive **AI/GenAI Engineer** with at least 2 years of professional experience to join us at a pivotal moment. We are also open to talented individuals who are driven, curious, and of high character, and can showcase prolific contributions to open-source or personal projects.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who loves solving hard problems and can work backwards from the goal and thrive in dynamic team environments and is eager to make a significant impact. Experience with Computer Vision, LLMs, Voice, RAG, and Classification is highly valued.

## Tasks

*   Navigate ambiguity and adapt quickly in a fast-moving team
*   Demonstrate ownership: proactively identify challenges and raise your hand to drive solutions
*   Work hard and maintain a strong work ethic in a dynamic environment. Embraces in-person collaborations (whiteboard sessions, anti-fragile discussions to reach team clarity)
*   Collaborate across distributed teams to design, build, and iterate on innovative AI solutions from concept to production
*   Champion a culture of curiosity, resilience, and continuous learning
*   Communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively, both in writing and verbally, with an emphasis on over communication
*   Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and knowledge sharing
*   Show enthusiasm for the advancement of agentic and decentralized AI systems

## Requirements

*   Minimum 2 years of professional-level experience with Python and TypeScript (required)
*   Familiarity with LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, Google ADK (preferred)
*   Experience with containerization and Docker (preferred)
*   Familiarity with chain-of-thought prompting, in-context learning, or multi-agent pipelines
*   Knowledge of vector databases such as Pinecone, Weaviate, or FAISS (preferred)
*   Experience with React (nice to have)
*   Familiarity with MCP and A2A (nice to have)
*   Experience fine-tuning Computer Vision models (nice to have)

## Benefits

*   **Competitive Compensation & Meaningful Equity:** We value talent and back it with fair, founder-level alignment. You’ll own a real stake in the company’s future.
*   **High-Impact, High-Ownership Role:** You won’t be a cog in the machine. You’ll own initiatives end-to-end and help shape the core of our AI stack and company direction.
*   **Work Directly with the CEO & Founding Team:** Collaborate daily with the CEO and technical leadership to drive product, strategy, and long-term vision.
*   **Build What Doesn’t Exist (Yet):** We’re working on first-principle AI infrastructure that doesn’t exist elsewhere. If you’re here to do original, meaningful work — this is it.
*   **Zero Bureaucracy, Maximum Autonomy:** We move fast, stay lean, and keep decision-making close to the builders. Your input drives the roadmap.
*   **Flexible, But In-Person Matters:** We’re remote-first, but we believe in the power of face-to-face time. We hold monthly gatherings/hackathons in SF and Europe, to stay aligned and build real momentum together. Results still matter more than hours — but we show up when it counts.

**Our Hiring Process**

We move fast, stay transparent, and focus on real collaboration. Here’s what the process looks like:

1.  **Intro Call** – A quick chat to align on expectations, interests, and team fit.
2.  **Technical Deep Dive** – A focused conversation with our Engineering Manager to explore your technical thinking and past work.
3.  **CEO Interview** – A strategic discussion around vision, mindset, and long-term alignment.
4.  **Reference Collection** – We’ll speak with a few people you’ve worked closely with.
5.  **Paid Trial (~5 Days)** – A short, real-world engagement so we can see how we work together — happening in parallel with offer and terms discussion.

**Please note:**

*   As a startup, you can expect a fast-paced environment where extreme ownership is required.
*   If you are seeking a traditional corporate 9-to-5 role, this may not be the right fit.
