Senior Software Engineer - Former founder preferred

Let’s not talk if:

• You’re not based in The Bay Area (we’ll be a team of three if you join so we’ll be sitting next to each other in Bay Area)

• You’re not willing to work six days per week (we take Sundays off)

• You’re not excited about using codegen tools like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, etc.

• You’re not comfortable as IC role

• You’re not comfortable with ambiguity and rapid context-switching.

• You don’t like candor - receiving and giving direct, honest feedback.

• You need a well defined structure or career ladder.

What You’ll Do

• Own end-to-end development of AI-powered product features across backend, frontend, and deployment layers

• Integrate LLMs, internal embeddings, and structured data models into usable product experiences

• Translate ambiguous customer needs into clear UX + code

• Ideate, plan, deliver high quality software to consistently exceed customer expectations

• Support in defining engineering culture, standards, and roadmap

• Collaborate tightly with our ML team to make outputs trustworthy, not just accurate

Must-Haves

• Have 3+ years of full-stack or backend-heavy engineering experience

• Have LLM and/or ML integration experience (e.g., LangChain, vector DBs, prompt design, model outputs into product)

• Have shipped real products — ideally in vertical SaaS, internal tools, ML/analytics platforms, or enterprise software

• Can code, but also think in product — UX, value, users

• Have founder experience or took extreme ownership in a startup environment

• Want to work in-person with a small team to move fast and win together
