• Join a high-velocity, technical founding team backed by top-tier institutional investors and industry-leading angels with immediate market traction.
• High-ownership environment where you define the engineering culture, influence product strategy, and ship features directly to major enterprise customers.

• Build and scale LangGraph-based multi-agent systems featuring advanced checkpointing, observability, and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines.
• Design and implement robust Python APIs using FastAPI and optimize complex data schemas across PostgreSQL, Supabase, and Neo4j graph databases.
• Architect enterprise-ready infrastructure on GCP, implementing sophisticated IAM, multi-tenant isolation, and audit patterns required for regulated procurement.

• 2–3 years of experience building production software, including at least one year within a fast-paced startup environment.
• Deep technical proficiency in the modern AI stack, specifically LangGraph, RAG pipelines, vector databases, and AI coding tools like Cursor.
• Strong engineering fundamentals in Python/FastAPI and cloud operations on GCP or AWS, with a mindset focused on reliability and outcomes.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
