WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - At least 2 years of experience shipping production software, owning features from design through deployment. - Experience building LLM or AI-agent functionality for production systems. - Strong full-stack or backend skills in TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, or similar languages. - Interest in an intense, early-stage role with founding-level ownership and comfort working through ambiguity. - Experience with high-throughput or high-concurrency systems, Rust, desktop applications or agents, coding agents, or code generation is valuable. - Familiarity with Next.js, PostgreSQL, Azure, Tauri, or Windows desktop agents is useful.
