Who We're Looking For Proven experience delivering reliable, well-architected backend systems and taking ownership of the services built. Strong skills with Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL. Comfort with building everything from REST APIs to background task pipelines and AI agent infrastructure. Regular use of AI coding tools such as Cursor, Copilot, or Claude to boost productivity. Interest in building the backend for an AI-native platform supporting complex hardware development. Ability to work closely with engineers, AI researchers, and product leadership to turn unstructured data (like call transcripts, emails, documents, datasheets) into structured engineering outputs (requirements, project plans, dependencies).
