Role

Backend engineers build the platform that support’s Anara’s functionality. Sometimes this means inventing retrieval systems that can process 10M+ files. Sometimes this means dealing with the woes of scaling to hundreds of thousands of concurrent users.

Your work might include:

• Designing and building scalable infrastructure for AI-powered research tools.

• Collaborating closely with the rest of the engineering team on our RAG pipeline, continuously improving response quality, latency and robustness.

• Establishing best practices for prompt engineering and deployment of new models and workflows.

• Monitoring and optimizing system performance and costs, making pragmatic tradeoffs to keep us lean and moving fast.

• Owning the design and automation of eval pipelines to continuously measure, benchmark and improve AI agent quality and reliability.

You’re likely a good fit if:

• You are quick, scrappy and first and foremost a builder. Product at Anara moves lightning fast. We typically take features from idea to production in days, not weeks or months.

• You blend excellent engineering with a taste for models and design.

• You’ve worked on back end agent behaviors and have hands-on experience with LLMs, RAG, and agent architectures.

• Have independently built and scaled a product to at least a few thousand users (e.g. a side project or open-source project).

• Have worked in a high-growth, fast-paced environment (ideally another startup) and can drive things forward with relatively little oversight.
