Research Engineer / Software Engineer (backend/general)

We're looking for a Backend Research Engineer who's passionate about building scalable systems and solving hard problems in ambiguous environments. In this role, you'll design and implement the distributed infrastructure that powers our core engine. You'll work across services written in TypeScript, Kotlin and Go (no worries if you haven’t used these languages—we care more about your fundamentals and your willingness to learn), and deploy everything on AWS.

Requirements

• Experience building and operating scalable, distributed systems
• Comfort working in a fast-moving, early-stage environment
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work with incomplete information
• Familiarity with AWS or similar cloud platforms
• You’re comfortable working with infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform or CDK) and see infra as part of the engineering system—not something separate from it.
• Eager to learn new tools, languages, and technologies as needed
• A thoughtful communicator who values clarity and simplicity
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Generous equity package
• Career growth opportunities
• Meaningful work and impact
• Opportunities to work with an amazing team and some of the world’s experts
