This is a hands-on senior engineering role for someone who wants to work on real-world AI systems, not proofs of concept or hype projects. You'll be joining a small, founder-led team building an AI-driven platform that automates complex, document-heavy workflows. The focus is on applying modern AI tooling in production environments where reliability, accuracy, and clarity really matter. This is a genuine build-phase role with meaningful ownership and influence over how the product evolves.
