Our team is a tight-knit group of builders—former founders, operators, and engineers—obsessed with solving real problems for real customers. We come from Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, OpenAI, and international olympiads. Backed by Insight Partners, General Catalyst, Y Combinator, and top-tier investors, we just raised our 32M Series A and are scaling quickly!

One step at a time, we’re on a mission to eliminate busywork for humanity.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Backend Engineer to own the core systems that power our AI workflows. You’ll design schemas, define APIs, and build scalable backend architecture — with tight collaboration across the engineering and product teams.

This is an in-person role in San Francisco. The founding team works side-by-side every day to make fast decisions and build production-ready software that ships weekly.

What You’ll Do

• Own backend systems: data models, APIs and systems design while keeping scale in mind

• Lead schema and system design for our AI-native workflows

• Build with TypeScript, Node.js, Postgres (our current stack)

• Optimize backend performance and set the foundation for scale

• Work closely with product engineers and AI engineers to define and implement backend contracts

• Help shape product with pragmatic engineering input — this isn’t a ticket factory

What We’re Looking For

• 3–4 years of backend engineering experience (personal projects and startups count)

• Strong experience with relational data modeling and API design

• Comfort with Typescript, Node.js, Postgres, and ORM tools.

• Familiarity with system architecture patterns for scalable apps

• High agency, good taste, and ability to navigate ambiguity

• Strong communicator, especially in fast-moving environments

Why In-Person SF Matters

• You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with an exceptional team:

  • Ex-Stanford, MIT, and Berkeley engineers with dozens of papers

  • International Olympiad winners and medalists

  • Ex-OpenAI engineers with 10+ years of domain expertise for mentorship

  • Ex-Google Deepmind engineers

  • Former founders who’ve closed $500k in revenue at 19 and hired 40+ people

• Decisions happen live, not in backlogged async threads

• A players work with A players. There’s a buzzing energy in the office. Hit the whiteboard with anyone here and you’ll understand why.

Benefits

• 100% medical, dental & vision coverage (for you; partial for dependents)

• 401k with employer match

• Unlimited PTO + federal holidays

• GrubHub stipend + all meals covered in-office

• Gym membership covered

• Frequent team dinners, events, and off-sites

• The opportunity to eliminate busywork for humanity
