  • Responsibilities

    We are a pioneering no-code platform revolutionizing how enterprises harness the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate business processes. Founded by two MIT PhDs and backed by prestigious investors like Y Combinator and Google, our mission is to democratize access to AI, enabling anyone to build sophisticated AI-powered applications without extensive coding expertise. With a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, our platform integrates top AI models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) with common data sources (e.g., Google Drive, Notion, Airtable) and SaaS platforms (e.g., Zapier, HubSpot) to create chatbots, document processing tools, and data analysis workflows. Launched just 16 months ago, we've grown to over 85,000 users and 300+ paying customers, including public companies and unicorns. Based in San Francisco with a tight-knit team of 18, we're driven by values of radical transparency, boldness, and a bias for action, fostering a dynamic environment where innovation thrives.

    We're seeking a stellar Backend Engineer with 2-4 years of experience to join our San Francisco team and propel our mission forward. As a key member of our 18-person team, you'll design and build robust, scalable backend systems that power our no-code AI platform, ensuring seamless integration of LLMs and diverse data sources. This role is ideal for a highly skilled engineer who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment, excels at clean coding practices, and can independently organize projects while collaborating closely with our founding team. Based in our San Francisco office (with hybrid options considered), you'll play a critical role in shaping the infrastructure that supports our rapidly growing user base and diverse enterprise applications, from AI chatbots to complex data processing pipelines.

    • Design, optimize, and manage database infrastructure (SQL and NoSQL) to ensure high performance, reliability, and responsiveness for frontend requests.
    • Integrate and deploy new AI models (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) into production environments, maintaining existing models for optimal performance and scalability.
    • Implement type validation, C repository management, and data mapping to ensure robust and efficient backend operations.
    • Collaborate with the founding team to align backend development with company goals, user needs, and product roadmap.
    • Advocate for clean coding practices, optimal project organization, and innovative backend technologies to enhance system performance and maintainability.
    • Engage directly with users by occasionally diving into customer support to understand their needs, build strong relationships, and inform backend improvements.
    • Stay ahead of industry trends in backend development, AI integration, and cloud technologies, contributing to a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

    Qualifications

    • Required :
      • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field.

      • Exceptional proficiency in Python and hands-on experience with FastAPI or similar web frameworks.
      • Strong expertise in database management and optimization, with experience in SQL and NoSQL databases (e.g., Supabase, SQLAlchemy).
      • Proficiency in type validation, C repository management, and data mapping for robust backend operations.
      • Practical experience with cloud services, particularly AWS (e.g., EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda).
      • Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, or other containerization and orchestration tools.
      • Outstanding problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of software engineering principles.
      • Excellent communication skills and the ability to thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced startup environment.
    • Preferred : * Knowledge of AI model integration and deployment, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines or embedding generation. * Experience with large-scale data processing and handling complex AI workflows. * A passion for AI and technology, with a curiosity for learning new skills and adapting to evolving challenges. * Comfort wearing multiple hats in an early-stage startup, with a proactive and innovative mindset.

    Compensation and Benefits
