About Magellano Partners

Magellano Partners is a boutique consultancy built to help visionary founders, CEOs, and executive teams scale with clarity, structure, and execution power.

Overview

On behalf of our client—a well-funded, stealth-mode AI startup—we are looking for a highly skilled and multiversed Founding Software Engineer. This is a rare opportunity to join as employee #1 and work directly with a hands-on founding team to architect and build an AI-powered platform from the ground up.

You will be a key contributor in defining the product, shaping the technical foundation, and setting the engineering culture.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement scalable and robust backend services
• Set up and manage cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment automation
• Own DevOps workflows including container orchestration and infrastructure-as-code
• Collaborate on integrating and deploying AI/LLM technologies and related services
• Rapidly prototype, test, and iterate alongside the founding team
• Contribute to architectural decisions and help establish best practices
  

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in backend software engineering
• Strong command of one or more backend languages (e.g., Python, Go, Rust, Node.js)
• Deep experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure
• Proven knowledge of DevOps, including Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform
• Practical experience deploying or integrating AI/ML models or using AI APIs
• Proactive, autonomous, and comfortable in fast-moving startup environments
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with LLM frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex) and vector databases
• Familiarity with prompt engineering, fine-tuning, or AI infrastructure
• Exposure to MLOps, data pipeline design, or real-time processing
• Background in impactful industries (e.g., manufacturing, logistics, energy)
• Prior experience as an early or founding team member in a startup
  

What We Offer

• A ground-floor role in an ambitious AI venture with real product ownership
• The chance to shape both product and technical vision from day one
• A collaborative, zero-bureaucracy environment where execution matters
• Direct access to experienced founders and influence over technology choices
