About the Role

This is a hands-on, high-ownership engineering role at a fast-growing AI startup automating sales workflows for distributors and manufacturers. You'll build end-to-end AI-powered systems — from data pipelines and backend services to polished frontend experiences — and help shape the technical direction of the product from an early stage.

What You'll Do

• Own the architecture and design of AI systems, making key technical decisions with clear documentation and code quality standards.
• Collaborate across the full stack with a tight-knit team of engineers.
• Build and maintain data pipelines to process large-scale unstructured data efficiently.
• Deploy and manage software in cloud environments, ensuring reliability and scalability.
• Make the backend scalable, stable, and performant.
• Develop reusable frontend components and well-structured API layers.
• Write clean, maintainable code backed by thoughtful unit and integration testing strategies.

What We're Looking For

• Proficiency building end-to-end AI-powered web applications with Next.js/React and TypeScript on the frontend and Python on the backend.
• Strong experience with Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and deployment.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and modern CI/CD practices.
• Experience designing and implementing scalable RESTful APIs for production web applications.
• Proficiency with PostgreSQL and relational data modeling.
• A product-minded approach with a demonstrable track record of shipping complex web applications.
• Experience building and validating testing strategies, including unit and integration tests.
• Hands-on experience with ML/NLP technologies — including embeddings, vector databases, and RLHF — and deploying ML components in production.
• Experience with ML model serving and inference pipelines in production environments is a plus.
