Greylock invested in a stealth enterprise AI company and now we are helping the founders to find a Senior to Staff Backend Engineer.

We're at an inflection point where AI can navigate software, click buttons, and complete multi-step workflows like a human. This team is building for that moment.

The founding team brings deep experience scaling enterprise AI products and a track record of prior exits.

The team is small and early, based in San Francisco with a hybrid setup (3+ days in office).

If you're a senior or staff backend engineer who wants to build at the ground floor of a new category, please apply.

Required Qualifications

  • 7+ years of backend engineering experience
  • Strong proficiency in at least one modern backend language (Go, Python, Rust, Node.js, etc.)
  • Deep experience designing and building RESTful or gRPC APIs for highly available, distributed systems
  • Solid understanding of database technologies — relational, NoSQL, and their tradeoffs
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and modern DevOps practices
  • Familiarity with LLM APIs, AI orchestration frameworks, or building systems that integrate with AI/ML models
  • Experience designing backend infrastructure to support real-time or agentic AI workflows
  • Proven ownership across the full engineering lifecycle: design, build, deploy, and operate
