BACKEND ENGINEER
$180K - $230K + EQUITY | SOHO, NYC

Every sales team in the world is sitting on a goldmine of data locked inside their customer conversations. Most of them have no idea.

That's the problem a well-funded NYC AI startup has quietly been solving, and they're doing it faster than anyone expected. 10x revenue growth in a single year. A product that revenue teams are calling the operating layer of their entire go-to-market.

Now they're building the foundational engineering team that takes this thing to the next level.

THE ROLE
This isn't a maintenance job. You're joining a new NYC-based team building the core infrastructure that powers AI agents, data pipelines, and distributed systems at the heart of a product people genuinely love using.

You'll own projects end to end, work directly with the CTO and co-founders, and have real influence over architecture and product direction. The kind of ownership most engineers spend years waiting for.

THE STACK
Go, Kafka, Kubernetes, Redis, Postgres, AWS, Temporal, GraphQL

WHAT YOU'LL NEED
2+ years of backend engineering experience
Deep Go fluency, this one is non-negotiable
Distributed systems design experience
Hands-on experience building AI/LLM infrastructure or data pipelines
Experience with Kafka, Redis, or Kubernetes
Experience with modern AI tooling such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex

STRONG TO HAVE
Background at a high-growth startup (Series A-C) or FAANG
Founding or early-stage startup experience
Side projects, hackathon wins, or evidence of building outside your job scope

WHY NOW
Series A. Strong investors. 10x revenue growth.
Two engineers being hired immediately with more to follow.
You're not too early and you're definitely not too late.

The foundational team is being built right now.
That first hire advantage won't be available for long.
