About the Role
We are looking for a Backend Engineer to join our early-stage startup team. This role involves building customer-facing products and reliable LLM agents while working directly with the founding team.
Key Responsibilities
• Own features from problem scoping through backend implementation and production
• Build LLM agents that reason reliably over large, messy organizational datasets
• Shape architecture, data models, APIs, tooling, and engineering standards
• Lead complex, high-impact projects with autonomy and accountability
• Partner with the founding team to translate customer needs into product decisions and support clients with hundreds to thousands of employees
Requirements
• 5+ years of backend engineering experience building customer-facing products
• Experience at an early-stage startup—Series B or earlier—or as a founder
• A product mindset, sound technical judgment, and the ability to question assumptions
• Comfort navigating ambiguity, iterating quickly, and owning projects end-to-end
Tech stack: Python, SQL, distributed systems, API design, LLMs, RAG, agentic frameworks, and platform engineering
Note: Remote engineers are expected to travel periodically for in-person collaboration, potentially for one or two weeks at a time. Work authorization preference is for candidates with existing authorization to work in the US or Canada. Sponsorship may be considered for the right candidate.
