📋 Description

• Think Different. Build the Future. 🚀 • Build everyday AGI—trustworthy, consumer-grade agents that redefine human–AI collaboration for millions. • You’ll be one of the very first engineers shaping our core product and reimagining how people integrate AI companions into their day-to-day workflows. • Expect to: • Think from zero. Whiteboard the concept in the morning and demo it by evening. • Own the stack. Backend, frontend, model orchestration, observability—whatever removes friction between idea and shipped product. • Bridge research and delight. Sit beside scientists, translate breakthroughs into polished consumer experiences, and push them to production in days, not quarters. • Define the bar. Establish the engineering, design, and reliability standards that every future hire will follow. • Move markets. Your features won’t live in a sandbox—they’ll redefine how everyday people trust and collaborate with AI. • You’ll be leading initiatives from conceptual design to production deployment, iterating quickly and putting real user feedback at the heart of product decisions. • Key Responsibilities • Craft end-to-end experiences: Design, code, and ship full-stack features—Python, TypeScript, Postgres, GPU infra—whatever it takes. • Design the MCP schema: Create flexible, extensible JSON-based models that represent property context, room types, policies, branding, and more. • Integrate core booking systems: Build robust connectors to PMS, CRM, messaging platforms, and booking engines. • Build internal and partner-facing APIs: Develop secure, scalable APIs that ingest, structure, and serve hotel context to downstream AI agents. • Engineer for trust: Single-digit-ms paths, sandboxed execution, telemetry everywhere—four nines or it’s broken. • Invent agentic primitives: APIs, eval harnesses, and safety guardrails that let wild research ship to millions. • Listen, iterate, delight: Sit with users, absorb the pain, and turn feedback into joy—fast.

🎯 Requirements

• More than 5 yrs years of professional software engineering experience • Strong backend fundamentals: REST API architecture, distributed systems, cloud deployment • Proficiency with JavaScript, React, and other web technologies • Proficiency with a backend language (we use Python) • Some experience with relational databases like Postgres/MySQL • Deep experience integrating 3rd-party APIs and building data abstraction layers (bonus: hotel/hospitality tech exposure) • Working knowledge of LLM pipelines, embeddings, and context windows (LangChain, OpenAI Assistants API, etc.) • Proven ability to thrive in fast-growing, product-driven companies by effectively navigating loosely defined tasks and managing competing priorities or deadlines. • Familiarity with travel tech (e.g. Mews, SynXis, Oracle Opera, Cloudbeds) • Experience designing or managing structured knowledge graphs or JSON schemas • Experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, or function calling • Former founder, or early engineer at a startup who has built a product from scratch is a plus • Interest in AI/ML (direct experience not required)
