Build and scale infrastructure for embeddings, retrieval systems, data catalogs, and evaluation workflows
Design and maintain secure, scalable APIs with a strong emphasis on developer experience
Enhance deployment pipelines, observability tooling, and operational best practices to ensure platform resilience
Collaborate cross-functionally to evaluate emerging GenAI research, benchmarks, and techniques — bringing the most impactful innovations into production
Contribute to platform-level decisions around cluster management, orchestration, and service reliability
5+ years of professional software engineering experience building and scaling complex platforms or distributed systems
Strong proficiency in Python, including designing, developing, and debugging production-grade services
Working familiarity with AI/ML concepts and a strong interest in staying current with GenAI advancements
Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure), DevOps practices, and security fundamentals
Demonstrated ability to decompose complex technical challenges into scalable, maintainable solutions
Excellent collaboration and communication skills with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
BS or MS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
Open source contributions related to GenAI, distributed systems, or data orchestration
Experience with cloud networking (DNS, VPC configuration, infrastructure security)
Strong quantitative background (math, physics, ML, or related fields)
Experience using GenAI tools to augment development workflows
Familiarity with enterprise software development lifecycles from architecture through post-deployment support
Purpose & Impact: Be a key contributor to the GenAI revolution, shaping how enterprises adopt next-generation technology.
Remote-First Culture: Based in Colorado, but work from anywhere with the tools and support you need.
Expert Founders with Successful Exits: Our leadership team brings experience and a relentless enthusiasm for GenAI innovation.
High-Autonomy Environment: Flat organizational structure, transparent communication, and minimal red tape.
Competitive Compensation & Equity: Own a piece of our high-potential, well-funded startup.
Comprehensive Benefits: We offer low-deductible medical plans, dental and vision coverage, disability and life insurance, 401(k) with 4% match, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, paid time off, and remote work support.
We're a small, driven team building a platform that makes GenAI deployment feel like magic.
Our approach: curious, humble, but relentless.
We're fun, kind, and exceptional—serious about making an impact but never taking ourselves too seriously.
We operate with high urgency but think for the long term—action creates clarity.
Ready to build the foundation of the GenAI revolution? Include GitHub (or equivalent) code samples, a system design you’re proud of, and any evaluation or benchmark work that demonstrates your technical rigor.
Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship requirements.
P.S. If you use GenAI to craft your application, we’ll probably find out — and we’d love to learn more about how you did it!
Compensation:
This role offers a base salary between $150,000 and $250,000, plus equity and benefits. Actual compensation will reflect an individual’s experience, impact, and location.
