Founding Backend/Infra Engineer

Redefine how the world experiences conversations with AI.

Were a venture-backed startup building the world's first live, interactive AI video avatars.

Think FaceTime powered by a brain: LLMs, ML-generated video, and real-time infrastructure engineered for trust, intimacy, and instant response.

Were reimagining how people talk to machines and each other.

️ What You'll Be Building:

• A custom WebRTC/WebSocket stack for real-time AI-human interaction
• Real-time pipelines that turn LLM token streams into photorealistic, lip-synced avatars
• Infrastructure tuned for ultra-low latency, high concurrency, and seamless delivery
• Resilient systems: adaptive bitrate control, TURN/STUN tuning, edge relays, smart failovers
• Profiling and debugging tools for everything from jitter buffers to GPU throughput
• Something new, weird, delightful and wildly ambitious

You Might Be a Fit If You:

• Have deep experience with WebRTC, WebSockets, or other real-time systems
• Are obsessed with eliminating latency and improving audio/video performance
• Have deployed machine learning in production especially streaming, audio, or video
• Know your way around cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/OCI), media servers, FFmpeg, and GPU tuning
• Have built and shipped complex, high-impact systems
• Want to shape how AI feels, not just how it thinks

Why This Role?

• Work on a product with real user traction and clear technical differentiation
• Founding-level role influence the entire stack, experience, and engineering culture
• Collaborate with world-class engineers from Google, OpenAI, and AWS
• Backed by top-tier investors and technical leaders
• Bonus: You'll get your own AI Avatar your hype man, twin, or coach (your choice)
