Description

  • Build alongside the team by contributing to backend services, AI workflows, and frontend improvements on the HyperDev platform.
  • Review code, including AI-generated output, to ensure what ships is clear, testable, and maintainable.
  • Pair with engineers on difficult problems and help unblock the team day to day.
  • Define and refine the human-in-the-loop approach to software development, including when AI should lead and when humans should intervene.
  • Establish practical standards for reviewing AI-assisted work, evaluating RAG pipelines, and keeping outputs predictable.
  • Mentor engineers through feedback, pairing, and example while fostering a high-quality, curiosity-driven culture.
  • Help hire and grow the engineering team, including contributing to recruiting and team development.
  • Work with the founders and broader team to translate product and commercial priorities into technical plans and trade-offs.
  • Improve CI/CD, testing, observability, and release processes to support fast and reliable delivery.
  • Treat reliability and security as part of everyday engineering and not as afterthoughts.

Requirements

  • 2+ years as an Engineering Manager, Tech Lead, or leading engineers while remaining hands-on.
  • 6+ years of experience building production software.
  • Experience shipping at least one production feature using LLM APIs, RAG, or agent workflows.
  • Professional experience with TypeScript, React, and Python.
  • Experience building and maintaining third-party integrations in production.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.
  • Track record of shipping in environments with evolving priorities.
  • Experience delivering work end to end without heavy project management support.
  • Ability to work independently and proactively in a fast-moving startup, full-stack development environment.
  • Preferred experience in an early-stage tech startup (0–50 people) where roles were fluid.
  • Preferred production use of Langchain, Pydantic AI, or similar frameworks.
  • Preferred open-source contributions.
  • Preferred experience growing a team beyond 3–4 people.

Benefits

  • Be part of the founding team of a new AI developer platform backed by an established, profitable parent company.
  • Shape the architecture, product, and culture of the company from day zero.
  • Collaborate with a team that has worked at OpenAI and shipped award-winning products.
  • Access the resources, backing, and reach of the HyperionDev ecosystem while building something new.
  • Work on cutting-edge AI and developer tooling.
  • Freedom to experiment and innovate.
  • Ownership and impact associated with being a founding engineer.
