We are looking for a highly driven Founding Engineer with strong backend development skills and hands-on AI experience to join our early-stage team. This role offers an opportunity to build products from the ground up, take ownership of core technology, and contribute directly to the company's technical vision and product development.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and scale robust backend systems and APIs.
• Build and integrate AI-powered features and intelligent solutions into products.
• Take end-to-end ownership of product development, from 0-to-1 conceptualization to deployment.
• Work with LLMs, AI frameworks, and modern AI technologies to develop real-world applications.
• Make architectural and technical decisions while building scalable systems.
• Collaborate closely with founders and cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• Experiment with emerging technologies and drive rapid product iterations.

Requirements:

• 2-5 years of hands-on software development experience.
• Strong expertise in backend development using any programming language or technology stack.
• Mandatory hands-on experience in AI/ML, generative AI, LLMs, or AI-powered applications.
• Must have prior 0-to-1 product development or startup-building experience, taking a product or major feature from scratch to production.
• Strong understanding of system design, databases, APIs, and backend architecture.
• Experience integrating AI models, APIs, or frameworks into production applications.
• Strong problem-solving skills and an ownership-driven mindset.
• Bachelor's degree from a Tier 1 engineering college.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• Someone who has built AI-powered products, not just used AI tools.
• A hands-on engineer comfortable working in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment.
• Strong builder mindset with the ability to work independently and make technical decisions.
• Excited about building products from scratch and solving challenging engineering problems.
