About the role

You’ll design, build, and scale the backend that powers AI employees while following our principles:
Velocity is Everything: keep the 20/80 rule in mind, delay kills growth
Think Like a Founder: ship with quality, have strong opinions, and speak up if you disagree
Operate With Efficiency: put the customer first, write it down, and use AI wherever possible
Communication Rules Everything: be clear and concise, give candid, unsolicited feedback
Meetings, But Make Them Useful: don’t attend meetings where you don’t add or extract value; Presence ≠ productivity
Vibes Matter: have a positive attitude, make others feel appreciated, we’re here to win

3+ years of backend engineering experience in high-growth environments, preferably early-stage or Series B.
Strong experience building scalable, data-intensive services with modern APIs and robust infrastructure.
Proficiency with AWS and GitHub Actions.
Deep understanding of distributed systems, APIs, reliability, performance, and database systems (SQL + NoSQL).
Experience with modern stacks - TypeScript/Node preferred, but equivalent backend stacks are welcome.
Demonstrated track record of ownership - leading parts of systems independently and shipping with impact.
Excellent communication, clarity in articulating architecture to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Benefits

Real equity upside and compensation aligned with high expectations and high impact.
Culture: Have a chat with our teammates, each and everyone has a clear reason about why they love it.

Tip: use these terms in your resume and cover letter to boost ATS matches.
