Lead Principal Software Engineer Gen Ai Apply
What to expect
The tech stack looks like the below (expect this to change as we scale):
Typescript for APIs
Python scripts for AI/ML
Kafka, Spark, and data warehouses for ML pipelines (spark on Python)
AWS, GCP & Terraform
You can expect to do all of the following:
Build clean, concise APIs for customer integrations, along with the documentation
Setup, run, scale, and maintain infrastructure
Fool-proof security across the stack - encryption, hashing, privacy, VPC, etc.
Infrastructure as code - build terraform scripts and ensure easy replication of the infra across different regions
Manage production deployments, logging, and monitoring
Setup on-call processes
Mentor junior engineers
Our values
Continuous 360 feedback: Everyone is expected to share constructive critical feedback with everyone else, including the founders.
Product-minded: Everyone shares product ownership, so we expect everyone to do customer outreach, support, and talk to customers for feedback and new features.
Doers over talkers: We spend time figuring out the right direction to take and then execute very fast. No one is too “senior” to do a job - the CTO will code every day, the CEO will sell every day and everyone takes care of customer support on a schedule. We understand the difference between real work and pretense.
Humanity over everything else: We sell the product to businesses, but in reality, we sell it to real humans on the other side. Our end customers are consumers using the product through our UI or integrated with our APIs, so we are building the world’s most human-centric company (no pun intended). Kindness is expected and empathy is the core value we’re looking for.
About you
We expect you to have built things from 0 to 1 or 1 to 10. Experience with Typescript or Python is mandatory.
We don’t read much into your CV, but rather see what you have done in your life so far (side projects, open-source contributions, blogs, etc.). We don’t care about degrees, the institutions you went to, or the companies you worked for before. We are open to talking as long as you have put in the reps, good judgment and clarity, align with our values, and have a strong track record of thoughtful work.
Understand the fundamentals of building and integrating APIs and secure systems. You can take ownership of the tech stack from infra to APIs and UIs and can optimize for both developer productivity and product performance.
We expect you to have worked with early-stage companies before (0 to 1 or 1 to 10), have an extremely strong bias for action, and have built and/or scaled systems from scratch.
We expect you to know about Generative AI and LLMs. An ideal candidate should have tinkered with different models and understand the different problems around hallucinations, token optimizations, etc.
Pay and benefits We offer a solid, competitive package (including early-stage equity). We give you the flexibility to choose the split between cash and equity.
