• Customer Engagement: Collaborate directly with enterprise CTOs, engineering leaders, and business stakeholders.
• Product Thinking: Convert customer requirements into reusable, scalable platform capabilities.

• Practical experience with LLMs, GenAI APIs, AI agents, or AI-powered applications.
• Strong understanding of system architecture, APIs, microservices, databases, and cloud infrastructure.
• Proven experience working directly with enterprise customers.
• Ability to independently architect, code, deploy, and troubleshoot production systems.
• Strong communication, business problem-solving, and technical ownership skills.

Good to Have

• Experience as a Founding Engineer, Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer, or FDE.
• Background in AI-native startups or enterprise AI platforms.
• Experience with LangChain, LangGraph, RAG, MLOps, or LLMOps.
• Exposure to multimodal AI, video generation, and media technology.
• Understanding of GPU inference and AI infrastructure optimization.

What We Expect

• Think like a founder: Take ownership beyond assigned tasks.
• Build like an engineer: Stay hands-on with architecture, coding, and deployment.
