Backend Software Engineer

New York, NY
Full-time

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to work on the core platform that powers our AI-assisted engineering and deployment workflows.

This role spans three tightly connected areas:

  • System modeling and ontology (how we represent complex industrial systems)
  • AI-assisted engineering workflows (how changes are proposed and reasoned about)
  • Change management and deployment infrastructure (how changes are validated, tracked, and rolled out safely)

You’ll help build the backend systems that allow AI to operate on complex industrial systems in a constrained, deterministic, and auditable way.

Required skillset:

  • Strong backend engineering fundamentals
  • Comfort operating in complex, poorly documented domains
  • Sound instincts around correctness, safety, and failure modes
  • Willingness to move fast, iterate, and own problems end-to-end

Strong Plus:

  • Experience building or integrating AI-powered or AI-assisted systems
  • Familiarity with semantic models, graph-like representations, or complex data relationships
  • Exposure to change management, deployment workflows, or DevOps-style systems

What Matters Most

  • Intellectual horsepower: you can quickly understand unfamiliar systems and reason through hard problems
  • Problem-solving ability: you break ambiguous problems into tractable pieces and drive them to completion
  • Speed + discipline: you move fast without being reckless
  • Work ethic: you take ownership and push through complexity
  • Creativity: you can see unconventional solutions where others see constraints
