Job Description
As one of our first engineers, you’ll shape the technical foundation of Socratix AI. You’ll design and ship production-grade AI agents, collaborate directly with founders on product strategy, and partner with both large enterprises and cutting-edge startups.
This is a high-impact role with massive scope for growth — you won’t just be building features, you’ll be defining how AI transforms financial operations.
What You’ll Do
- Design and deliver production-grade AI agents.
- Work directly with founders on roadmap and strategy.
- Collaborate with enterprise and startup partners to deliver impact.
- Drive execution in a high-ownership, high-leverage role.
- Learn firsthand what it takes to build a rocket-ship startup.
What We’re Looking For
Must-haves:
- 2–4 years of software engineering experience (CS degree or equivalent background).
- Strong backend development skills with Python + FastAPI.
- Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS) and API design.
- A 0 → 1 builder mindset — comfortable creating from scratch.
- Ability to thrive in fast-paced startup environments.
Nice-to-haves (but not required):
- Startup experience leading significant projects.
- AI expertise: LangChain, RAG, embeddings, multi-agent systems, fine-tuning.
Benefits
We believe in generous, top-tier compensation and benefits:
- Competitive salary and equity benchmarked to top tech companies.
- Paid meals during workdays.
- 100% health, dental, and vision coverage.
- Hybrid schedule - in-office 3 days a week.
- Unlimited PTO.
