We’re looking for a Founding Full-Stack Engineer (backend-first, but frontend-capable) to join an early-stage US startup in the enterprise AI space.
If you’re confident scaling microservices, working with LLMs in production, and occasionally diving into React — we’d love to hear from you. Your responsibilities will include: * Designing and scaling microservices and APIs (REST/GraphQL, Kafka/SQS, background jobs); * Working with PostgreSQL + pgvector: indexing, partitioning, performance tuning; * Building robust integrations with LLMs: managing prompt flows, eval pipelines; * Maintaining cloud infra (AWS — EKS/ECS, S3, RDS, KMS) via Terraform; * Setting up CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, etc.); * Tweaking React components to unblock features; * Helping deliver production-ready frontend flows; * Working closely with product, AI and DevOps teams; * Owning delivery end-to-end: from shaping the solution to shipping; * Refactoring, automating, improving reliability and developer experience.
What we expect from you: * 5+ years of backend development experience (Python, Go, or TypeScript); * 1+ years working with LLM services or data/AI pipelines in production; * Hands-on experience with microservices, message queues, idempotency; * Strong experience with PostgreSQL, including performance and migrations; * Confident with AWS stack and infrastructure as code (Terraform, GitHub Actions); * Solid CI/CD mindset, system design skills, and debugging experience; * Upper-Intermediate+ English (team is international, communication is async-first); * Startup readiness: you’re self-driven, autonomous, and know how to move fast.
It would be great if you also have: * Frontend skills (React + TypeScript); * Worked with Kafka or serverless setups (Lambda, etc.); * Experience with vector DBs, RAG pipelines, or prompt engineering; * Knowledge of security & compliance (SOC2, GDPR); * Experience scaling engineering teams or mentoring devs.
Project & Team Overview: * You’ll be joining the founding team of a product turning messy enterprise documents into structured intelligence; * Active clients from Fortune 1000; * Tech stack: microservices, LLMs, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, vector embeddings; * You’ll have full ownership of your area, direct influence on roadmap, and ability to shape the team.
We offer: * Founding-level impact and startup-style ownership; * Remote/hybrid format with async flexibility; * Opportunity to shape product architecture from scratch; * Equity compensation and long-term partnership; * Fast-moving, no-bureaucracy environment — just great tech and people.
