Job Description
We’re partnering with a fast-growing Series B startup building the infrastructure layer that transforms complex APIs into live, interactive product experiences.

As an AI Software Engineer, you will help design and scale backend systems powering interactive AI-driven workflows. This is a product-focused, systems-heavy role centered on building scalable infrastructure, not model research or training.

Requirements
• 4+ years of software engineering experience
• Strong backend engineering and systems design skills
• Experience building production distributed systems
• Experience integrating AI or LLM APIs into real applications
• Solid understanding of API design and system architecture
• Tech-agnostic mindset, strong Python foundation preferred
• Experience or interest in working with tools such as LangChain, OpenPipe, Pinecone, and similar AI infrastructure tools
• Comfort working in a fast-paced startup environment
Nice to Have
• Experience building developer tools or platform products
• Exposure to workflow orchestration or real-time systems
• Previous startup experience
Why Join
• Series B company with strong traction and product-market fit
