About You

You’re a strong engineer across backend and infrastructure (Python, Go, TypeScript, etc.) with a deep interest in agentic AI.

We care more about what you’ve done, not how long you’ve been doing it.

You’ve been a founding engineer, founded your own company, or had a major impact at a top-tier company, and you’re ready to join an early-stage team.

You are motivated by ownership, impact, and building frontier tech.

Your work is a craft you want to master.

You thrive in ambiguity and love hard problems.

You appreciate diverse perspectives and uncommon ideas.

You are excited about building in-person, 5 days a week, from our office in One World Trade.

What We're Looking For
4 – 10 years in engineering; 2–3+ years experience with

Strong background in building scalable systems

Comfort with core ML/LLM concepts — post-training, evaluation metrics, reward modeling — deep enough to partner with researchers, not just consume their output

Ability to lead in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with sound technical judgment

Proven ability to coach engineers and drive execution

Strong ownership mindset with pragmatic decision-making
