Job Description
Role Description
You love building and scaling intelligent software! Technology still delights you, and the current wave of AI tools has you energized. You're happy to be programming again, experimenting with AI-assisted development, and seeing possibilities everywhere. You want to work somewhere where your beta launch means 10% of the US population and the freedom to move fast.
You're looking for a place where you can be both strategic and hands-on. Where you can architect systems that process hundreds of millions of transactions. Where you can lead teams but also build demos that make executives lean forward in their chairs.
You thrive when resources are constrained because it forces creative solutions. You'd rather multiply impact through smart architecture and reusable services than throw bodies at problems. You know through personal experience that well-led teams leveraging modern AI tools can compete with organizations 10x their size.
If this sounds like you, keep reading.

Requirements

- Hybrid solutions of local and cloud LLM.
- Event-driven architectures: Real-time processing and making decisions in milliseconds is second nature to you.
- Cloud infrastructure: Deep AWS experience, GCP a plus. You know both cloud primitives and managed AI services.
- Modern AI tools: You actively use AI-assisted development tools. You understand how they change what small teams can accomplish.
- Technical stack: We work with open source, Java, Python, Kafka, Postgres, AWS and GCP. You work within these guardrails.
