Full Stack Engineer

You’ll own the systems powering Symmetry’s platform and Intelligence Layer-designing APIs, architecting data systems, and operating production services that are fast, fault-tolerant, and secure.

You’ll work closely with product, design, and research to turn complex ideas into scalable, elegant systems that make AI workflows seamless and trustworthy.

What You’ll Do

• Design, Build, & Maintain APIs: Build reliable, versioned interfaces that power Symmetry’s product and external integrations.
• Architect Data Systems: Design and optimize relational, vector, and graph-based data stores that represent interconnected project context.
• Build Distributed Services: Develop and scale backend systems using modern Python frameworks and asynchronous processing patterns.
• Integrate AI Workflows: Combine retrieval and generation pipelines to deliver context-rich, adaptive intelligence within the platform.
• Ensure Reliability & Security: Design for fault tolerance, enforce access control, manage secrets securely, and maintain compliance with data protection standards.
• Operate in Production: Deploy, monitor, and optimize services with meaningful metrics, alerts, and incident response practices.
• Debug & Optimize: Trace issues end-to-end, fix root causes, and continuously improve system performance and resilience.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with frontend, design, and research to deliver reliable, user-centered experiences.
• Own the Outcome: Document systems, write tests, and iterate post-launch using real-world feedback.

• 5+ years building and operating backend or full-stack systems in production environments.
• Strong Python fundamentals and experience with modern web frameworks.
• Deep understanding of data modeling and SQL with hands-on experience in relational databases.
• Experience designing distributed and asynchronous systems for scale and reliability.
• Understanding of vector or graph data models and their role in search, retrieval, or knowledge systems.
• Solid foundation in cloud-native operations - containerization, orchestration, monitoring, and scaling.
• Track record of owning systems end-to-end - from design to post-launch operation.
• Awareness of security best practices and compliance principles.
• Strong debugging, observability, and incident-management skills.
• Clear, proactive communicator comfortable working with product and research partners.

About Symmetry

We’re solving one of the biggest challenges in modern AI workflows: fragmented context. Today, project knowledge is scattered across conversations, tools, and docs-forcing teams to spend more time steering AI than actually getting work done.

Symmetry brings context, continuity, and observability to AI-powered work, enabling teams to ship faster, work smarter, and maximize productivity across their existing AI stack.

We’re a fast-moving, early-stage team with a proven track record of building and scaling successful AI businesses. Freshly funded and growing, we’re looking for builders who want to help define the next frontier of human-AI collaboration.
