Member of Engineering, Backend - AI

Location: Fully remote (East Coast preferred)

Salary: Up to $290k + equity

Industry: AI, Developer Platform, Software Engineering

Role Overview

Help power the future of developer AI by building scalable, secure backend platforms that connect large language models to real-world product experiences. In this backend engineering role, you’ll design and deliver cloud infrastructure and enterprise features, supporting both multi-tenant and single-tenant deployments for a next-generation, developer-centric AI platform.

What You’ll Do

• Architect and implement core backend systems powering advanced model fine-tuning and intelligent developer tooling
• Build distributed infrastructure that manages data sovereignty, developer access, and interoperability across IDEs, APIs, and CI/CD workflows
• Collaborate within a top-tier engineering team drawn from premier industry backgrounds, driving best-in-class reliability, scalability, and developer experience
• Optimize performance, monitoring, and automation using cloud-native tools (Kubernetes, Terraform, Git, Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog)
• Champion enterprise customization and data security for private deployments

Who You Are

• 4+ years of backend engineering experience on scalable enterprise platforms
• Hands‑on skills in Go, Ruby, Python, C++, and distributed messaging systems (Kafka, Google Pub/Sub)
• Proven history building infrastructure using AWS, GCP, Azure, Docker, and Kubernetes
• Adept at remote collaboration, autonomous work, and periodic travel for deep technical summits
• Eligible for H1B visa sponsorship if needed

Why You’ll Thrive Here

• Unmatched funding: $626M raised (Seed/Series A/B), backed by Bain Capital, Nvidia, Redpoint, Felicis, Xavier Niel, eBay, Bpifrance, Inovia, and more
• Cutting‑edge vision: Build toward human‑level AGI for software engineering—foundation models trained from scratch using RLCEF with enterprise data protection
• Global impact: Collaborate with a 162‑person team and develop technology used by Fortune 500s, regulators, and high‑consequence industries
• Elite leadership: Work with pioneering founders and talent from GitHub, Google DeepMind, OpenAI, Microsoft, and HuggingFace
• Mission‑driven culture: Shape models that transform access, equity, and security in real‑world software development
• Accelerated growth: Join the team building the future developer platform to rival GitHub Copilot in a $27B+ market
