About the Role

We're looking for a

Founding AI Engineer

with a hacker spirit, someone passionate about building

production-ready AI agents and workflows

from the ground up. You will have end-to-end ownership, shaping both our technical foundation and product direction.

The core challenge: building a

simulated environment

that evaluates how people work based on their interactions with intelligent agents. We aim to

redefine how talent is evaluated,

a massively complex problem, powered by millions of data points generated daily by our 7M+ users.

This is a rare opportunity to

join at the ground floor

and shape the future of AI-driven talent assessment.

What You Will Do

Backend Development:

Write business logic in our

cloud-native backend services

at scale.

Systems Maintenance:

Refactor, migrate, and maintain critical services.

AI Agents:

Build and maintain

agents and workflows

that drive the platform.

Operations:

Take on-call duties, handle incidents, and contribute to DevOps on

Kubernetes (K8s).

Code Quality:

Conduct code reviews, write clean technical designs, and document processes.

Research & Design:

Drive technical initiatives tied to business OKRs; explore new approaches to agentic systems.

Adapt Quickly:

Apply and integrate new technologies rapidly, stepping outside your comfort zone daily.

What Were Looking For

2-8 years of experience

as a software engineer, ideally with work on

AI products

or

agentic systems.

Proficiency in

Python

and

TypeScript.

Strong experience with

large-scale infrastructure

and production systems.

Ability to work independently, drive projects forward, and deliver at startup velocity.
