Backend Engineer

• Design & build a cloud-native backend that scales from dozens to millions of content workflows.
• Integrate AI services LLM APIs, image models, vector DBs into clean abstractions (no custom model training required, but you’ll set the patterns).
• Own infrastructure: set up CI/CD, monitoring and observability, and keep latency low and costs sane.
• Establish engineering culture with fast code reviews, test strategy, release cadence, lightweight docs.
• Own AI-automation workflows: evaluate and adopt AI coding agents and other developer-productivity tools to super-power our small engineering team.
• Collaborate directly with the Founder & early customers, turning pain points into product iterations and experiments in days, not quarters.
• Work closely with the Founder on launching experiments that drive product metrics.
