Job description

Salary - $150,000 - $300,000
What you Will Do
As a Founding Software Engineer, you will own the entire technical stack end-to-end, from core infrastructure and production systems to deployment, reliability, and developer experience.
Architect, build, and scale core backend systems powering document intelligence and VLM-based workflows
Own production infrastructure end-to-end: deployments, monitoring, performance, reliability
Design and operate high-throughput, low-latency services in real production environments
Take systems from R&D → production → enterprise scale
Build and maintain cloud and on-prem deployments (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm) for enterprise customers
Establish best practices for CI/CD, observability, debugging, and incident response
Work closely with the founders and research team to turn research prototypes into production-grade, scalable systems.
What We are Looking For
This role is backend & infrastructure-heavy. You should have most of the following:
Experience building and operating scaled production systems
Strong backend engineering skills (Python required; C++/Rust is a major plus)
Experience with distributed systems (microservices, parallel processing, queues, caches like Redis)
Deep familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure)
Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform / Pulumi)
An ownership mindset
Nice to have: Experience serving ML / VLM / GPU-heavy workloads
