## About the Role

You'll work directly with the founders to build intelligent agents that search, reason, remember, and take action on behalf of users. The work spans conversational AI, large-scale people search, data infrastructure, and consumer-facing product experiences.

This is a true 0-to-1 opportunity, but not at a company starting from zero. You'll be building on top of existing technology, proprietary data, and a proven business, while owning major parts of a new product and helping define our technical direction.

We're looking for someone who wants to move fast, solve ambitious technical problems, and help build something that millions of people use.

Who We're Looking For
We're looking for an exceptional engineer who can own ambitious technical problems end-to-end and thrive in a fast-moving, early-stage environment.

What we're looking for:
-Full-stack engineering: Strong experience with TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, and PostgreSQL.
-AI engineering: Experience building production applications with LLMs, agents, tool calling, or AI-powered workflows.
-Technical judgment: Ability to design scalable systems and make pragmatic architectural decisions.
-Product ownership: Proven ability to build and ship products end-to-end with minimal oversight.
-Startup mindset: Comfortable moving quickly, navigating ambiguity, and working directly with founders.

Bonus points:
-Voice AI or conversational agent experience
-Search, recommendation systems, or data infrastructure
-Early-stage startup or founding engineer experience
-Cloud infrastructure, deployment, and production reliability
