## About the Role

Do you have experience in Software engineering?, Do you have a Bachelor's degree?, * 2+ years of software engineering experience with real production systems under your belt

 * Shipped something you're proud of - a product, a feature, a platform - and can speak to it in detail
 * Strong command of TypeScript, Python, or both; JavaScript for frontend work
 * Experience with platform engineering fundamentals: APIs, microservices, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD
 * AI-fluent - you understand how LLMs work, how to build around them, and how to leverage AI tooling to move faster
 * BS/BA in Computer Science or equivalent rigor (we care about fundamentals)
 * Startup DNA: you move with urgency, figure things out independently, and don't wait for a spec to tell you what's obvious
 * Based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco - you'll be here 5 days a week

BONUS POINTS

 * Experience in conversational AI, NLP, or agentic systems
 * Domain knowledge in fintech, banking, or financial services
 * Prior startup experience, especially in a 10-50 person company

## Description

* Design, build, and ship features on our core platform - APIs, services, and integrations that power real-time conversational AI at scale
 * Own your work from first commit to production - you write it, you deploy it, you monitor it
 * Build backend services in TypeScript and Python; contribute to frontend interfaces in JavaScript
 * Integrate and extend AI-driven workflows - you'll be writing against LLM APIs, not just using chat products
 * Collaborate daily with product and engineering in our SF office - no silos, no handoffs, just fast iteration
 * Use AI-native development tools (Claude Code, Cursor) as core parts of your workflow - not as a curiosity
