We are building a new AI infrastructure product in stealth.

The work sits at the intersection of algorithms, code transformation, program analysis, and AI systems.

We are looking for a Founding Software Engineer to design and build the core technical system from the ground up. This is a zero-to-one role with significant ownership over architecture, implementation, and technical direction.

You do not need to have previously worked as a compiler engineer. We care more about strong problem-solving ability, engineering judgment, and experience building complex, correctness-sensitive software.

• Location: Remote (India)
• Employment type: Full-time
• Joining: As soon as possible
• Compensation: Based on experience and fit

• Design algorithms for analysing and transforming structured code
• Build reliable source-code transformation systems
• Work with trees, graphs, parsers, ASTs, CSTs, and intermediate representations
• Develop validation, correctness-checking, recovery, and fallback mechanisms
• Design clean internal abstractions and APIs
• Investigate difficult correctness, performance, and memory issues
• Profile and optimize performance-critical components
• Implement performance-critical components in Rust or another suitable systems language
• Take early prototypes through to reliable production systems
• Make practical architecture decisions in an ambiguous, early-stage environment

• Strong algorithmic and problem-solving ability
• Strong computer science and software engineering fundamentals
• Proficiency in Rust, C++, or another relevant language
• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, or equivalent evidence of exceptional ability
• Experience building complex or correctness-sensitive systems
• Strong debugging, testing, and profiling skills
• Ability to reason clearly about edge cases, failure modes, and trade-offs
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of open-ended technical problems

• Experience with compilers, parsers, static analysis, or program analysis
• Experience with source-to-source transformation
• Strong understanding of trees, graphs, or symbolic representations
• Familiarity with ASTs, CSTs, tree-sitter, LibCST, LLVM, or CPython internals
• Experience building linters, language servers, code-intelligence systems, or developer tools
• Experience with fuzzing or property-based testing
• Strong research, open-source, or competitive-programming work combined with practical engineering experience
• Experience building a technical system from the ground up

Further product and architecture details will be shared during the interview process.
