Our VIP Client is not just another AI startup. They're redefining how humans and computers work together. Backed by $10M in fresh funding, we’re scaling fast and building something game-changing—AI-powered enterprise software that works for you, not the other way around.

If you’ve ever been frustrated by slow-moving orgs, endless red tape, or companies that talk big but don’t innovate, this is your chance to build something real.

The Opportunity

We need a Senior Software Engineer who doesn’t just write code but owns products end-to-end. You’ll be working on the core AI platform, designing systems that scale, and delivering products that actually make people’s lives easier.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Architect, build, and deploy AI-powered enterprise apps from scratch.
• Push the boundaries of LLM (large model) applications and AI-driven workflows.
• Design high-performance backend systems, APIs, and data pipelines that scale.
• Collaborate with a world-class team of engineers, designers, and product leaders.
• Shape the future of AI-powered work—your ideas won’t just be heard, they’ll be built.
• Mentor and elevate the next of AI engineers.

What You Bring to the Table

10+ years of engineering experience (startup & fast-paced environments ).
Deep expertise in Python, Java, C++, JavaScript, or Go.
Strong background in backend engineering, API design, and cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP).
LLM Operations, AI/ML, or prompt engineering experience is a huge plus.
Comfortable owning complex projects from concept to deployment—no hand-holding here.
Git/GitHub mastery, Agile workflows, and modern development best practices.
High output, zero excuses. We move fast, and we need builders who can keep up.

Bonus Points If You Have

Experience at top-tier AI/ML or enterprise search companies (Glean, OpenAI, Anthropic, Scale AI, Notion, Atlassian, Retool, etc.).
Hands-on experience with real-time data processing, streaming, and A/B testing.
A background in AI-powered search, enterprise SaaS, or deep technical infrastructure.
A startup mentality—if you've built something from the ground up, we want to talk.

Why This is a Career-Defining Move

Equity that actually means something—get in early and build the future.
Full health benefits (medical, dental, vision) from Day 1—no waiting, no BS.
Unlimited PTO (we don’t track it, but we also don’t abuse it).
$100/month wellness stipend—your health matters.
Work alongside top AI & ML minds—this is where the magic happens.
