You’ll help build the core systems that power AI‑driven search and data products as a backend‑focused full stack engineer.

Requirements
  • 1–5 years of software engineering experience
  • Strong experience with Typescript, React, and Node
  • Backend‑leaning full‑stack profile with solid system design fundamentals
  • Comfortable working in ambiguous, early‑stage environments
  • LLM/AI experience is a plus, not required
