The role:

  • Build robust, scalable systems from the ground up
  • Bridge the gap between brilliant engineering and customer needs
  • Shape the technical foundation of a fast-growing AI platform

You:

  • 2-5 years of software development experience

This is a rare opportunity to join at the earliest stage with meaningful equity and the chance to build something transformational.
