About the Role
This is a hands-on AI engineering role at a fast-growing, Y Combinator-backed B2B SaaS startup building AI-powered sales automation for distributors and manufacturers. You will work across the full stack to design and ship end-to-end AI systems that directly drive product growth and customer impact.

Build data pipelines to process large-scale unstructured data efficiently.
Improve backend scalability, stability, and performance.
What We're Looking For
2+ years of engineering experience, with substantive AI/LLM or backend-oriented depth (not frontend-focused).
Strong experience with NLP, LLMs, embeddings, ML, and AI-powered applications.
Demonstrated experience building and scaling data and ML pipelines, including large-scale unstructured data.
Hands-on experience applying RLHF or DPO to align LLMs with human feedback.
Full-stack development skills using React, TypeScript, and Next.js.
