About the role

Joining as one of the team's first engineers and play a leading role in building and shipping AI applications for inaugural customers - from understanding customer needs to deploying solutions in their environments - all while shaping the Engineering and Company culture for the next 100+ engineers.

What you bring to the table:

• You write exceptional code + deeply care about the craft of coding: you build elegant, production-ready code; you have strong proficiency across multiple programming languages
• You are excited about AI: you are AI-curious, follow along with new launches, and experiment with new frameworks (like LangChain); to be clear, this is a generalist full-stack engineering role in the context of developing AI-driven applications
• You love solving hard, new problems: you are comfortable self-teaching, asking “why?,” and experimenting to solve problems you haven’t seen before
• You are ‘start-up ready’: you jump in without instruction, embrace a ‘no job too big, no job too small’ mindset, and want to shape strategy and culture
• You are comfortable talking with users: you deeply care about the user and skillfully navigate user conversations to ensure what we’re building meets their needs
• You are a great teammate: you are comfortable helping others (and asking for help), you champion integrity in everything, and want to build a one-in-a-career culture of personal growth

You will:

• Design and develop custom AI solutions tailored to the unique needs of our customers, ensuring seamless integration and scalability
• Partner with a high-caliber team across the full project lifestyle, from requirements gathering, to prototyping, system design, coding, testing, deployment, and support
• Actively shape our Engineering and broader company culture - from how we learn, to how we hire, to how we celebrate - you’ll shape how we make our team a place we all love working
