• Collaborate with research, product, and design to ship features quickly without sacrificing quality.
• Write clean, maintainable code and contribute to technical documentation.
• Participate in code reviews and technical design discussions.
• Make pragmatic trade-offs between speed, simplicity, reliability, and maintainability.
• Identify problems proactively and drive solutions independently.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience preferred.
• Strong coding fundamentals in Node.js and TypeScript, Python, and/or Go.
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, scalability, and system design.
• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes, APIs, and NoSQL databases.
• Strong ability to reason through technical trade-offs and balance speed with reliability.
• Active GitHub profile with real projects demonstrating a strong builder mindset.
• Ability to work autonomously while collaborating effectively with a high-output engineering team.
• Proactive approach to identifying problems and driving solutions without extensive direction.
• High-accountability mindset and ability to perform effectively in a demanding startup environment.
• Strong bias toward simple solutions to complex problems.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to clearly articulate why you want to join an early-stage startup and work in AI now.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience as a founding engineer at a high-growth startup.
• Experience founding and building a technically sophisticated product.
• Previous success in fast-paced startup environments.
• Experience building infrastructure or platforms for AI, data, evaluation, or human-in-the-loop workflows.

Requirements

• Compensation: $84,000–$120,000 USD annually
• Equity: Competitive equity package
• Work Setup: Remote from Latin America

What Success Looks Like in Your First 3–6 Months

• Take ownership of meaningful engineering projects and ship them from design through production.
• Become a reliable contributor to the core systems supporting AI training data and evaluation.
• Improve the scalability and reliability of key platform components.
• Ship product and infrastructure improvements while maintaining a high engineering standard.
• Build strong working relationships across engineering, research, product, and design.
• Proactively identify technical problems and drive them toward practical solutions.
