Sydney-based start-up with significant media attention, founders gathering to go for round 3, after previous successful exits. <br><br>What you need to have done already:<br> <ul> <li>Shipped high-traffic backend services (Python, TS, Go, Rust — whatever you’re good at) that don’t fall over</li> <li>Designed and owned the whole AI stack end-to-end: LLM inference, RAG pipelines, eval systems, agent tooling, vector DBs, observability</li> <li>Taken LLM serving + tooling from zero to handling serious load yourself (not just demos)</li> <li>Profound, practical knowledge of RAG, agents, evals, prompting, tracing, the stuff that actually matters when things are live</li> <li>Prove you can move fast without breaking everything</li> </ul> Small team, considerable scope, proper funding. This is a genuine founding engineer position; you’ll own significant chunks of the core product.<br> If you’re currently stuck working on boring enterprise junk or prompt-wrangling at a place that never ships real volume, hit me up.<br><br>Contact: Jason@blackroc.co
