Teams at Sierra Studio

Lead as the startup's first in-house engineer: build production and prototype code across the stack, validate technical approaches with fast experiments, integrate devices and services, work hands-on with robotics and hardware-adjacent systems, and act as the primary technical voice for leadership while evolving into a technical lead.

Lead one or more software project teams end-to-end: set technical direction, mentor engineers, architect solutions, review code, hire, and partner with product, design, and clients to deliver production-ready AI and web/mobile products. Stay hands-on in code while shaping engineering culture and processes.

Be the company's first technical hire: audit and own the existing codebase, design architecture and DB schema, build end-to-end features with Python/FastAPI and Next.js, implement real-time WebSocket functionality, manage deployments on Railway, write tests, set engineering standards, and collaborate daily with the founder to evolve product and team.
