Job Description:
Join an early-stage team securing the future of enterprise AI adoption.

• Build and ship full-stack product features using Python, TypeScript, and modern frameworks like NestJS.

• Collaborate with founders to define engineering culture and the long-term technical roadmap of the platform.

The ideal candidate:

• 3-5 years of experience in software engineering with a strong background in backend and cloud infrastructure.

• Proficiency in Python and familiarity with building data-driven services for enterprise environments.

• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to navigate ambiguity and ship quality code in a fast-paced environment.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
