Edra

Manhattan, NY • On-site

Full-time

Re-posted yesterday


Job description

Job Summary:
Edra is a Series A startup focused on solving complex problems in enterprise AI by building AI agents that learn and operate company-specific processes. They are seeking Backend Engineers who are passionate about software craftsmanship to design and build platform systems, integrations, and tooling that enhance the usability of their AI technology.
Responsibilities:
• Design and build platform systems in Python (Fast API), from API contracts to database schema and infrastructure
• Build and maintain connectors, integrations, and data pipelines that connect our platform to external systems
• Build internal libraries, tooling, and interfaces that make the rest of the engineering team more productive
• Own your work fully: gather context, manage dependencies, and drive tasks to completion without a product manager handing you tickets
• Wear multiple hats across the stack–you might design a schema in the morning, build the API layer in the afternoon, and debug a deployment issue before end of day
• Participate in weekly product meetings, understand how customers and forward deployed engineers use what you build, and shape what gets built next
• Collaborate daily with a small, high-caliber team of engineers and AI specialists
• Have direct influence on technical direction: choose tools, set patterns, and establish conventions the team will build on for years
Qualifications:
Required:
• 3+ years of experience in software engineering (but a computer science degree is not necessarily required)
• A love of writing Python and/or TypeScript to a genuinely high standard–well-modeled, well-typed, and well-documented. Strong typing feels like a superpower, not a chore
• Experience building libraries, SDKs, or internal tooling that made other developers' lives easier (and you’ve enjoyed it)
• You light up when designing a clean database schema and take real pride in getting data models right
• You're at your best when you own a problem end to end — comfortable with ambiguity and energized by turning a vague problem into a well-scoped solution
• You're drawn to building foundational systems from scratch — greenfield work where your decisions compound over time excites you
Company:
Edra AI is an automation platform that analyzes existing company data such as tickets, logs, and messages. Founded in 2024, the company is headquartered in New York, USA, with a team of 11-50 employees. The company is currently Early Stage.
