If you thrive in a collaborative, fast-moving environment where trust and impact matter, you’ll feel at home here. What You’ll Do
  • Design and implement production-grade Python services with clean architecture and strong engineering discipline. 

  • Architect scalable, distributed systems using Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles. 

  • Integrate with external SaaS systems (CRMs, dialers, meeting tools, OAuth providers). 

    • Optimize performance, latency, cost, and reliability of AI-driven systems. 

    • Build and orchestrate LLM-powered agents (planning, reasoning, tool usage, memory). 

    • Develop internal frameworks to manage: 

      • Agent coordination 

      • Tool execution 

      • Memory layers 

      • Event-driven workflows 

        • Work closely with AI engineers, product, and founders to transform complex sales workflows into autonomous processes. 

        • Use AI coding assistants effectively and experiment with AI-augmented development workflows. 

What We’re Looking For
  • 7+ years of strong backend engineering experience. 

  • Advanced Python expertise (async, typing, architecture patterns, testing)

  • Experience designing scalable distributed systems. 

  • You design thoughtful, well-architected systems and write clean, high-quality code, with a focus on performance and long-term maintainability.

  • Experience with GCP (preferred) or AWS. 

  • Mindset: You’re energized by building systems that can reason and take action—not just generate responses.

  • You actively leverage AI coding assistants and are driven to push the boundaries of AI-augmented engineering.

  • You thrive in fast-paced startup environments where ownership is real and impact is immediate.

  • Strong communication skills are essential—you’ll collaborate closely with product, design, and business stakeholders, and stay deeply connected to our users and the problems they’re trying to solve.

  • Fluency in English is required; Spanish is a plus.

Tech Stack
  • Backend: Python, FastAPI, Celery, PostgreSQL, uv (package-manager) 

  • Frontend: NextJS, Tailwind
