You'll be one of the very first engineers shaping our core product and reimagining how people integrate AI companions into their day-to-day workflows.
Expect to:
- Think from zero. Whiteboard the concept in the morning and demo it by evening.
- Own the stack. Backend, frontend, model orchestration, observability whatever removes friction between idea and shipped product.
- Bridge research and delight. Sit beside scientists, translate breakthroughs into polished consumer experiences, and push them to production in days, not quarters.
- Define the bar. Establish the engineering, design, and reliability standards that every future hire will follw.
- Move markets. Your features won't live in a sandbox they'll redefine how everyday people trust and collaborate with AI.
You'll be leading initiatives from conceptual design to production deployment, iterating quickly and putting real user feedback at the heart of product decisions.
