Founding Software Engineer in San Francisco - Athina AI
Athina AI, San Francisco, CA, United States
Skills: Node.js, Python, React, SQL
Overview:
Athina is building an IDE to enable the development of AI-powered products. We are on a mission to build the new stack for AI product teams. This means defining how teams will prototype, experiment, train, evaluate and monitor GenAI products.
The next decade will enable AI-powered products and features that are radically different from the software we have been building until now. This is an open-domain unsolved problem, and we’re looking for tinkerers, hackers, and creatives who want to build the toolkit for the next decade of software.
The role:
Minimum requirements:
- Min. 5+ years of experience as a SWE
- Strong frontend + backend skills (if you're more frontend or backend-leaning, that's fine!)
- Experience creating complex software systems from the ground up
- A strong IC who is a self-starter and can work independently
Ideal requirements:
- You are excited about GenAI and are tinkering and hacking
- You are excited about the challenge of figuring out unsolved problems
- Based in SF, or willing to relocate (on-site but flexible working)
- Start-up or founding engineer experience is ideal
- Experience with AI is a plus but not a hard requirement
What we look for:
We're a small team, so we’re looking for someone who can tackle complex problems end-to-end. The job is not just to write code; we are looking for someone to create a product that solves the problem and delights users!
What you'll be building:
GenAI development is an open-domain problem and requires a lot of creativity, tinkering, and experimentation. We require a strong work ethic, and in return, we promise you the same.
Problems we're solving:
- How to generate, curate and annotate data for training and testing
- How to evaluate complex AI products
- How to prototype and test complex AI agents
Stack:
- Postgres DB
- (Node.js + Typescript) API server
- (Python) Workers for running evaluations and background jobs
- (Python) Open-source evaluations library
- (React.js + Typescript) Frontend
