About the role

About the Role

Join a well-funded AI and robotics startup tackling some of the hardest open problems in the field. This is a senior individual contributor role for engineers who are obsessed with novel, technically difficult challenges — the kind that don't have existing solutions. You'll work across systems-level infrastructure, real-time AI state management, custom OS development, and UX grounded in human psychology and organisational behaviour.

What You'll Do

  • Design and build custom database and memory systems from scratch.
  • Implement real-time LLM token state management at large scale.
  • Develop custom Unix OS distributions tailored for both humans and AI agents.
  • Rethink UX paradigms using insights from organisational behaviour and human psychology.
  • Pursue compounding micro-optimisations across the full stack.
  • Work onsite 5 days a week in San Francisco.

What We're Looking For

  • Required: Deep obsession with novel, overlooked, or technically unsolved problems.
  • Required: Demonstrated ability to build large, complex, and maintainable systems in roughly one-third the time most engineers consider possible.
  • Required: Proficiency in one or more of: TypeScript, Rust, Python.
  • Required: Experience with graph databases, flexible data pipelines, or ontological modelling.
  • Comfort applying psychology and organisational behaviour insights to product and UX decisions.
  • Signal of outlier intelligence — top academic background or standout real-world experience (non-traditional backgrounds welcome).

Compensation & Benefits

  • Cash compensation: $200,000 – $400,000 USD annually
  • Variable equity on top of cash
  • Visa sponsorship available
