The role

This company is building an AI operating system for blue-collar parts and equipment businesses, an industry ripe for disruption with vast amounts of fragmented, unstructured data. Backed by leading investors and founded by AI researchers, they're tackling a hard technical problem with significant market potential. They're bringing LLM-powered insights to non-technical teams in automotive, construction, and agriculture.

This is effectively the first US tech hire, working directly with the founders to build the system end-to-end. You'll own foundational architecture and set engineering standards from day one. This isn't a 9-to-5, nor a small, siloed piece of a larger system; it's intense, high-ownership work with the reward of building a fast-growing company's core.

The work

  • Design and own data pipelines from ingestion through cleaning and transformation.
  • Build orchestration workflows (Airflow-style DAGs) to ensure reliable data movement.
  • Integrate messy customer systems—on-prem databases, CSV dumps, SFTP, legacy ERPs—into structured, queryable data.
  • Develop the APIs and backend services that serve insights on top of the processed data.
  • Set standards for data quality, schema evolution, observability, CI/CD, testing, and deploy automation.

What You Bring

  • 5-6 years building and shipping backend services. Exceptional mid-level engineers with 2-3 years of relevant experience will also be considered.
  • Strong Python across APIs and services, comfortable designing workflows and operating orchestration tools.
  • Experience owning end-to-end data pipelines, with reliable and observable data movement.
  • A driven builder mentality; you thrive on startup intensity rather than a 9-to-5.
  • Backend is your primary strength; frontend work is available but not your focus.

Why apply through Dex

This is a rare, high-ownership role at an early-stage company that isn't publicly advertising. Dex helps you cut through the noise of an oversubscribed market. Sign up once, get matched to this role and others like it, and get properly briefed before any interview.
