About the Role

Join an early-stage AI company building an automated growth platform for consumer brands. As a founding senior engineer, you will build core product and infrastructure while helping shape the engineering culture and technical direction.

• Build and maintain reliable integrations with commerce, advertising, and marketing platforms, along with orchestration tools.

• Mentor engineers while remaining hands-on in daily product development.

• Five to eight years of full-stack engineering experience, including substantial backend work with data infrastructure, event systems, and API integrations.

• Experience building and owning production agentic or LLM-powered systems that integrate with third-party APIs.

• Experience with Python, TypeScript, LLMs, and commerce or marketing integrations such as Shopify, advertising APIs, or email platforms.

• Experience leading or mentoring engineers, and the ability to create structure and prioritize in an ambiguous environment.
