What You’ll Do

  • You will own engineering execution end-to-end.
  • You will take ideas from zero to production.
  • You will help define the technical DNA of the company. Ship fast, learn faster : We deploy daily, not monthly
  • Talk to users, shape the roadmap : Sit in the trenches with founders on calls that define what we build
  • Train AI agents: Design LLM-powered testers that explore, learn, and adapt in real time
  • Own the stack : Python, TypeScript, cloud infra, from commit to production
  • Turn prototypes into production : Run real experiments on models, embeddings, and retrieval pipelines

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives without guardrails.

What We’re Looking For

  • Relentless drive: You execute fast, adapt faster
  • Startup scar tissue : You’ve shipped product with no safety net
  • Fluency with AI/LLMs : LangChain, vector stores, prompt engineering
  • Full-stack firepower : Frontend, backend, infra, no silos
  • Product obsession : You care more about outcomes than outputs
  • Experimental instinct: You build → test → learn → repeat

Ideal Background

There’s no perfect pedigree. We hire for mindset, not credentials. That said, you might have:

  • Shipped AI features in prod
  • Built something from 0 to 1
  • Thrived in chaos with high ownership

Why This Matters

Software is accelerating. QA hasn’t kept up. Autonomous testing is inevitable, and we’re building it.

Five years from now, every high-velocity team will rely on AI agents like ours to ship faster, safer, and smarter.

Join now, and help make that future real, before someone else does.
