Role
We are looking for a generalist software engineer who thrives in early-stage environments and is excited to work across the stack—shipping features quickly while experimenting with cutting-edge AI. You’ll collaborate closely with the founding team on core product experiences and infrastructure.
Key areas of impact
Full-Stack Development: Build and iterate on our web platform (frontend + backend), balancing performance, usability, and maintainability.
LLM Integration: Design and implement workflows powered by large language models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source models). Work on prompt design, evaluation loops, fine-tuning/embedding strategies, and connecting models to user-facing features.
Search & Discovery: Help craft novel search, retrieval, and recommendation experiences (text, image, and 3D materials).
Product Generalist Mindset: Jump into whatever is needed—whether that’s refining UI interactions, optimizing backend APIs, or building quick prototypes with new AI capabilities.
We are a very small team and fully remote. We are open to both full time/part time positions, equity, etc.. Interested candidates please tell us what exceptional work you have done in any software field.
