Remote | Full-time
About the role
We are a small, fast-moving team looking for our technical lead.
You take an idea from the founders, shape it into an architecture, and ship it to production. You work directly with our Designer (Figma) and with the founders on what gets built and why. There is no engineering manager above you translating tickets, because you are the person making the technical calls.
The work sits at the intersection of modern web development and applied AI. You should be as comfortable with a database schema and a payment flow as you are with model APIs and agent workflows.
This role comes with a lot of surface area and a lot of ownership. If you want a narrow ticket queue, this is not it. If you want to define the stack, build things from zero and grow a team around them, keep reading.
We work quietly and share details step by step. What we are building is discussed once we have met and both sides see a fit.
What you will do
- Own the technical architecture from idea to production
- Build and ship the full stack: frontend, backend, database, infrastructure
- Build AI features end to end: LLM integrations, streaming responses, prompt and context design, evals, retries and fallbacks
- Build and maintain MCP servers that connect our products and internal workflows to AI clients
- Design async pipelines for long-running AI jobs: queues, webhooks, progress states, cost control per run
- Translate Figma designs into clean, precise interfaces
- Build secure payment flows (Stripe), authentication, user management, and access control
- Set up security fundamentals: data protection, input validation, secure APIs, rate limiting
- Make the calls on tooling, infrastructure, and technical trade-offs, and explain them in plain language
- Push back when a request does not make technical or economic sense
What we are looking for
- Proven full stack experience with a portfolio of products you shipped and kept running, not just prototypes
- Strong in React and Next.js (or a comparable modern framework)
- Strong backend: Node.js or Python, databases, REST or GraphQL, background jobs and queues
- Hands-on experience building with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar) in production, not only in side projects
- Experience building MCP servers, or the ability to walk us through one you built
- Comfort with third-party model APIs and async generation pipelines (image, video, or audio)
- Experience with Stripe and with auth and security: OAuth, JWT, role-based access, encryption
- SaaS product experience
- You work independently, manage your own delivery, and communicate early when something slips
- You care about the product, not only the code, and you contribute to product decisions
- You are comfortable signing an NDA and working on something that is not public yet
Nice to have
- Experience scaling a product from zero to first paying users
- Familiarity with agent frameworks, evals, or RAG in production
- You have built something people use in your own time
The setup
- Remote, full-time, 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday
- Flexible scheduling within the week, agreed calls attended, 24-hour response time
- Compensation based on experience, discussed openly on the first call
- Start: as soon as possible
How to apply
Send us:
- Links to two or three things you built, with a sentence on what part was yours
- Your GitHub or any public code
- One paragraph on the hardest technical problem you solved this year and how you solved it
