Job Description

We’re hiring a software engineer to grow with our team while contributing to AI-powered systems built on a microservice and distributed architecture. You’ll get hands-on experience helping design and build AI agents that run natively in our infrastructure, working alongside senior engineers to ship real features and fixes from day one, and developing a strong foundation in production-grade distributed systems.

This is a great fit for someone who is curious, picks things up fast, and is excited to use coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) as a daily part of their workflow.

Job Core Responsibilities: 

• Read and understand existing code, then contribute features, fixes, and improvements with guidance from senior engineers
• Build and maintain services within a microservice and distributed systems environment
• Investigate bugs, write tests, and help keep production healthy
• Contribute to the development of AI agents that run natively in our infrastructure — building tools, integrations, and supporting components under the guidance of senior engineers
• Pair with teammates and use AI coding agents to accelerate learning and delivery
• Take feedback well, iterate quickly, and grow into bigger ownership over time

Qualifications

Required:

• 0–2 years of professional or internship experience in software engineering
• Working knowledge of Go (Golang), or strong fundamentals in another language and a willingness to ramp up on Go quickly
• Solid grasp of computer science fundamentals — data structures, algorithms, networking, databases
• Curiosity about microservices, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, or edge computing
• Comfort using coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, or similar) and an interest in getting really good at working with them
• Clear written and verbal communication; receptive to feedback

Preferred:

• Familiarity with PostgreSQL, Redis, or Docker
• Exposure to Python and/or TypeScript/React
• Personal projects, internships, or open-source contributions involving backend services or AI/LLM tools
• Coursework or hands-on experience with concurrency, REST/gRPC APIs, or system design basics
