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
