About
San Francisco | In office | Full-time
We are hiring a Founding Software Engineer in San Francisco. We are building a small, talent-dense team. This role will define the engineering archetype at Unsiloed AI and set the ceiling for the team. We strongly believe technical DNA compounds (or degrades) with every hire and hence the first few matter disproportionately. You will be expected to operate proactively, take full ownership, and independently drive systems from idea to production.
What you Will Do
Architect, build, and scale core backend systems powering document intelligence and VLM-based workflows
Own production infrastructure end-to-end: deployments, monitoring, performance, reliability
Design and operate high-throughput, low-latency services in real production environments
Take systems from R&D → production → enterprise scale
Build and maintain cloud and on-prem deployments (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm) for enterprise customers
Establish best practices for CI/CD, observability, debugging, and incident response
Work closely with the founders and research team to turn research prototypes into production-grade, scalable systems.
What We are Looking For
Experience building and operating scaled production systems
Strong backend engineering skills (Python required; C++/Rust is a major plus)
Experience with distributed systems (microservices, parallel processing, queues, caches like Redis)
Deep familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure)
Hands‑on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform / Pulumi)
An ownership mindset
Nice to have: Experience serving ML / VLM / GPU‑heavy workloads
Compensation:
$150k – $300k
Equity:
0.1% – 1%
Location:
In-person, San Francisco
Visa:
Open to sponsoring
