## Description

Gradial is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to lead the development of AI-native systems that redefine how creative teams build and update websites. As an early engineer, you'll be integral to figuring out how to use and program LLMs to redefine how people do work.

You'll play a key role in shaping our technical direction, working closely with product and design to bring powerful, intuitive tools to life. This is an opportunity to help architect the foundation of a fast-moving product and contribute to a high-agency, low-ego team focused on real-world impact.
What You'll Own

 * Lead the design and implementation of systems that convert natural language into intelligent, multi-step workflows using generative AI
 * Architect and scale an LLM agent for real-time inference, dynamic prompting, and tool orchestration
 * Drive technical direction across the stack - from backend systems to front-end UX-with a focus on performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability
 * Design systems that learn over time - integrating customer feedback, usage data, and brand preferences
 * Mentor and guide other engineers; influence engineering culture, standards, and best practices
 * Collaborate with design and product to reshape the software in real-time; adding/removing features or adjusting layout on the fly
 * Ensure scalability, reliability and performance through strong testing, deployment, and observability practices
 * Operate without silos: own the problem and the solution from end to end
