Job Description
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Founding Software Engineer to own our technical roadmap from day zero. This isn't a standard 9-to-5 corporate gig. You will have 100% responsibility for designing, building, and scaling our architecture. If you are passionate about moving fast, obsessed with AI and cloud infrastructure, and thrive on the chaos and autonomy of an early-stage startup, this is your playground.
- Architect & Build: Take full ownership of our core platform, focusing on seamless integrations with cloud infrastructure and AI models.
- Conversational Scale: Design and optimize SaaS application architectures and communication workflows.
- Deploy AI: Integrate, fine-tune, and deploy cutting-edge AI/LLM features into production.
- Explore Niche Tech: Evaluate, break, and implement bleeding-edge, niche technologies. You will constantly be experimenting with tools that don't have a StackOverflow blueprint yet.
- Own the Stack: Lead everything from DevOps and CI/CD pipelines to database management and API design.
- Fearless Experimenter: You don't wait for a tutorial. When faced with a new framework or an undocumented API, your instinct is to dive in and make it work.
- Founding Mindset: You treat the codebase like it’s your own company. You care about user impact, execution speed, and clean (but fast) code.
- The Tech Stack: You have hands-on experience or deep familiarity with:
- Cloud Architecture: AWS, GCP, or Azure (Serverless, containerization, robust backend infrastructure).
- AI Integration: Working with LLM APIs, vector databases, or embedding frameworks.
- WhatsApp Business API: Experience building production-grade conversational apps, webhooks, and chat automation.
- Hyper-Passionate: You genuinely love building software and learning how complex systems work under the hood.
- True Ownership: You aren't a cog in a machine; you are the machine. High autonomy and direct influence on the company's trajectory.
- Zero Bureaucracy: No endless meetings or corporate red tape. If it’s a good idea, build it.
- Competitive Equity & Compensation: Highly aligned with a founding-level role.
