Role overview
We’re looking for an exceptional engineer to join the core team at Oliv AI. This is a high-ownership role for someone who can take an ambiguous problem, figure out the right approach, and drive it end-to-end — from architecture and prototyping to production and iteration.
Responsibilities
- Own complex engineering problems from first principles through production
- Design simple, scalable, reliable systems and make strong architectural decisions
- Build primarily on the backend, while comfortably working across frontend, infrastructure, data, and AI when needed
- Prototype quickly, test multiple approaches, and make decisions based on evidence
- Work with modern AI tools, LLMs, agents, APIs, and providers where they can create meaningful product or engineering leverage
- Build automation and internal tooling to make yourself and the team significantly more effective
- Improve engineering quality, architecture, and development practices across the company
- Help other engineers unblock difficult technical problems and raise the overall technical bar
Requirements
- 7+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong track record of building and owning production systems
- Deep backend engineering ability, with enough breadth to work across the stack when required
- Strong system design and architectural judgment
- Ability to operate independently in ambiguous environments
- High ownership and strong product judgment
- An experimental, iterative mindset — you prototype, benchmark, automate, and continuously improve how you work
- Comfortable learning unfamiliar technologies quickly rather than being defined by a specific stack
- Strong interest in using AI-assisted development and modern engineering workflows to increase leverage
Nice to have
- Experience at Staff, Principal, Architect, or equivalent level (demonstrated ability matters more than titles)
Benefits
- Competitive compensation and meaningful equity
- Remote flexibility
- Strong health benefits
- Tools needed to do your best work
- High autonomy and influence in a small team
- Meaningful ownership over product, architecture, and engineering culture
