About Us
We're a fast-moving, VC-backed startup building an AI-powered product for enterprise teams. We work at the intersection of data, automation, and user-facing workflows, helping customers make faster, higher-confidence decisions.
Our founding team brings rare depth across both scale and startup execution:
- Our CEO previously led multiple large-scale analytics services (hundreds of millions in ARR), owning P&L, product, and GTM, and helped scale a major product from early stage through IPO. Her background spans enterprise software, go-to-market strategy, and AI/ML-driven data platforms.
- Our CTO is a multi-time founder with successful acquisitions and deep technical leadership experience building developer products and business software used by millions of customers.
Why This Role is Special
This is a true early-stage builder role. You'll be one of the first senior engineers — part of the first generation of engineering in a growing company. You will:
- Own meaningful product areas end-to-end (design → build → ship → iterate)
- Influence architecture, standards, and core technical decisions early
- Work closely with founders and product leadership
- Ship quickly, with real feedback loops, and build the right foundation as we scale
What You'll Do
- Build customer-facing product features end-to-end (backend + frontend as needed)
- Develop AI-enabled workflows and internal tooling that improve product capabilities
- Design APIs, data models, and services that scale with usage
- Improve reliability, observability, and performance
- Contribute to engineering standards (code quality, testing, CI/CD)
- Collaborate cross-functionally to turn vague problems into shipped product
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent)
- Strong backend fundamentals (APIs, databases, services)
- Product mindset and strong ownership
- Comfort operating in ambiguity in a fast-moving environment
- Clear communication and strong collaboration skills
Bonus Points (not required)
- Startup experience
- Experience with LLM / AI-enabled systems (retrieval, evals, agent/tool patterns)
- Strong frontend (React / Next.js)
- Cloud infrastructure experience (AWS/GCP), monitoring/logging
What We Offer
- Competitive salary + meaningful equity
- Small team, high trust, real impact
- Hybrid flexibility; collaboration hub in San Mateo
