About this role

Join a lean, early-stage team building AI and automation products as a backend-focused engineer who owns customer-facing features end-to-end.

  • Design workflows and orchestration for AI/automation-driven products
  • Debug production issues and collaborate with founders and customers

  • Backend engineering and system design
  • API design and integration
  • End-to-end feature ownership and shipping
  • Cross-functional collaboration and communication
  • AI/workflow orchestration (nice to have)
  • Python or modern web backend stacks
  • Third-party service integration
  • Full-stack capabilities when needed
