Job Description

Our Core Values

We look for people who are:

• Hungry – ambitious, execution-driven, never settling for “good enough.”

• Smart – technically sharp, fast learners, curious problem solvers.

• Humble – team-first, ego-free, open to feedback, always improving.

Role Overview

As a Founding Tech Lead Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in shaping both our product and our company. You’ll work directly with the founders to design, build, and scale our platform - setting the technical foundation and influencing culture from day one. This is a chance to be part of the 0 → 1 journey and build something generational.

This is not a standard 9–5 job. We operate with a milestone mindset— progress is measured by what we build and deliver, not by hours at a desk. If you’re driven by outcomes and impact, this is the right place.

What You’ll Do

• Build and scale our core platform from the ground up.

• Work across the entire stack: infrastructure, data systems, backend, and user experience.

• Shape the product direction alongside the founders and our early customers.

• Harness unstructured enterprise data and evaluate LLMs to drive real product impact.

• Ensure technical specifications remain the single source of truth across all deals.

• Manage and mentor a development team to deliver high-quality features at startup

speed.

• Work closely with the CTO to define and execute the technical roadmap.

• Review code, enforce best practices, and ensure the architecture is clean, scalable, and robust.

What You Have

• Strong programming skills and deep Computer Science fundamentals.

• Experience working with large-scale data systems and improving performance, latency, and other critical KPIs.

• A track record of building and scaling products, startup experience is a major plus.

• Ability to move fast, work across technologies, and adapt as the product evolves.

• A customer-first mindset, focused on building products people truly love.

• Hunger, smart, and humble our three core values.
