About the Company

Company Size :

Industry : Agentic AI, Automation, Enterprise Software

Founding Year : 2023

Stage : Early-Stage Startup

Tech Stack : Python, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform,and other leading tools

This early-stage team is building the foundation for enterprise AI—deploying autonomous agents that deliver specialized services with human-level quality. Founded by builders from companies like Google, Databricks, and Canva, they’re moving fast to turn ambitious ideas into real-world systems.

As one of the first backend / infra engineers, you’ll design and build the systems that make enterprise AI deployments reliable, scalable, and secure. From APIs to authentication to metering and observability, you’ll have huge ownership over the technical architecture that supports mission-critical AI services. This is a high-impact, zero-to-one role where you’ll define foundational systems while staying deeply hands-on.

What You’ll Tackle

  • Architect and build backend systems, APIs, and infrastructure that power enterprise-grade AI agents.
  • Lead projects across authentication, observability, metering, billing, and metadata systems.
  • Own infrastructure automation (IaC), Kubernetes-based deployments, and CI / CD pipelines.
  • Design backend solutions with an eye toward reliability, security, scalability, and high performance.
  • Collaborate closely with platform engineers, solutions architects, and product teams to deliver cohesive systems at scale.

What You\'ll Bring

  • 6+ years building and scaling backend systems and infrastructure, ideally for enterprise SaaS or AI products.
  • Deep experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred), Kubernetes, Terraform (or similar), and CI / CD systems.
  • Strong backend development experience in Python (or similar languages).
  • A track record of designing secure, reliable APIs and distributed systems.
  • High ownership mindset—comfortable architecting systems and getting your hands dirty building them.
  • Based in or willing to work onsite with the team in NYC.
  • Why You’ll Want to Join

  • Founding seat at a venture-backed, mission-driven AI company.
  • Directly shape the architecture and infrastructure from the ground up.
  • Work alongside builders from top companies like Google and Databricks in a tight, fast-moving team.
  • Tackle complex, real-world scaling challenges—not just prototypes.
  • Competitive salary + strong equity upside at a high-growth, well-funded AI startup.
  • $180,000 - $240,000 a year

    Compensation is salary range above + meaningful equity in an early-stage venture-backed startup, commensurate with level of experience.
