I'm looking to speak with senior-level software engineers interested in joining a well-backed AI-native startup as they work towards a $1bn valuation. Founded by some of the brightest minds in AI, they are seeking an energetic, passionate founding engineer to help ship products quickly and sustain growth. Ideally, candidates will have a background in an AI startup, working on improving the efficiency of established LLM models and algorithms.

• High proficiency in Python.
