Archetype AI is developing the world’s first AI platform to bring AI into the real world. Formed by an exceptionally high‑caliber team from Google, we are building a foundation model for the physical world, a real‑time multimodal LLM for real life, transforming real‑world data into valuable insights and knowledge that people can interact with naturally. Supported by deep‑tech venture funds in Silicon Valley, we are pre‑Series A and rapidly progressing to our next stage. Join an exciting AI team in the heart of Silicon Valley.

About the Role We’re looking for a highly motivated software engineer to join our Solutions organization in an internal enablement role, reporting to the Head of Solutions Architecture. This hands‑on builder position focuses on developing robust, maintainable applications, demos, frameworks, and integrations that empower our Sales and Solutions teams to deliver faster and with greater impact.

Core Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain full‑stack applications, demos, and integrations across predictive maintenance, safety, and industrial IoT use cases.

Architect and evolve modular, extensible systems and internal frameworks that others can build on.

Build and maintain backend services, APIs, and data flows that power real‑time visualization and analytics.

Extend our plugin architecture (TypeScript/Svelte) for backend and frontend following established design patterns.

Implement protocol‑level integrations: REST APIs, IoT connectivity (MQTT, OPC‑UA, Modbus), streaming video (RTSP), and multi‑sensor data flows.

Develop and manage data processing pipelines with messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar).

Set up CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes/Docker deployments, and infrastructure‑as‑code for reliable, scalable delivery.

Apply best engineering practices: testing, observability, versioning, and maintainability.

Produce internal documentation, templates, and guides to support repeatability and enablement.

Required Qualifications

5+ years professional software engineering experience across client and server environments.

Strong proficiency in TypeScript, Python, and at least one additional modern language (Go, Rust, or C#).

Demonstrated experience designing and implementing scalable APIs, services, and integrations used by other engineers or applications.

Experience developing within modular, plugin‑based architectures with clear separation of concerns and well‑defined interfaces.

Hands‑on experience with front‑end frameworks (Svelte, React, Tailwind) and data visualization libraries (e.g., D3.js, Recharts, Plotly).

Expertise with Kafka or other messaging protocols and building data processing pipelines.

Experience with communication protocols: REST APIs, IoT (MQTT, OPC‑UA, Modbus), and video streaming (RTSP).

Solid understanding of databases (SQL and NoSQL) and distributed systems.

Strong understanding of software design principles, testing, and maintainability.

Excellent written and asynchronous communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience building frameworks, SDKs, or internal developer tools that scale across teams.

Background in industrial IoT, predictive maintenance, or safety/security applications.

Familiarity with real‑time data visualization and applied AI/ML (a plus, not required).

Experience with agentic coding tools (Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate development.

Experience with observability, instrumentation, and performance tuning.

Prior consulting or solutions engineering experience with the ability to context‑switch and adapt quickly.

We Would Love To See

Experience with machine learning and artificial intelligence in production environments.

Background in edge computing, low‑latency pipelines, or multimodal systems.

Prior work with large enterprise accounts and multi‑stakeholder solution sales.

Knowledge of additional industry‑specific standards or compliance frameworks.
