- Experience with Java and TypeScript
- Must have: experience with data pipelines — Airflow, Kafka, Redis queues, MySQL (or similar)
- High standards for code quality and reliability
- Bias toward shipping and iterating quickly in a startup environment
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with Spring Boot
- Interest in AI, LLMs, or search infrastructure
What You’ll Get
- $130,000–$150,000 base salary + equity
- health/dental/vision insurance
- International company offsite

- Mentorship from ex-Google founders
