About the role
Company
Hey 👋, we’re Haz and Wyatt, the founders of Pally, and we’re building at the intersection of AI and human relationships.
We believe that while AI will automate a lot of low-level tasks, that this will dramatically increase the value of human connection at the highest level.
In a world full of ‘AI SDRs’, our warm connections become more important than ever.
Yet today, keeping track of thousands of connections across countless social platforms is impossible. We forget to respond, we miss important moments, we lose touch.
We’re building Pally to solve that.
We bring together every connection, across every platform. Our AI researches everything they’ve ever posted online, and uses its deep understanding of each person to help you achieve your goals; whether hiring, fundraising, or sales.
We’re backed by YC (S25), cofounders from Hugging Face and Slack, the Head of Sales at Superhuman, Craft Ventures Scout Fund, a16z Scout Fund, and Founders Inc.
Role
Following our pre-seed round, and getting accepted into YC S25, we’re hiring for our first engineers: a founding backend engineer, and a founding design engineer.
Your role as our founding engineer (backend) will be to work on our backend systems, cloud architecture, AI models, and agentic workflows.
The role will span beyond the traditional bounds of engineering… As an early hire you will be expected to take shared overall ownership of the product, speak to users, and ensure an incredible user experience. We’re in this together; we win as a team and lose as a team.
Tech Stack
Our backend is all written in python, with FastAPI, hosted on Supabase, AWS ECS, and Lambda functions. We use a variety of models for different use cases, but predominantly OpenAI.
