The ROLE You are not just an employee - you are a builder of the company.

Strategic Impact - Work directly with the founders to influence technical and product direction, deciding how we scale our platform and what bets we make in AI search automation.

Relentlessly Driven — You thrive in early-stage chaos. You move quickly, test bold ideas, and turn uncertainty into working solutions. True Owner — You don’t just “complete tickets.” You take full responsibility for delivering outcomes — finding a path forward even with incomplete information.

Must-Haves In-person SF High-agency 3+ years of experience building backend & AI software for VC-backed startups Strong proficiency in Python and TypeScript Experience with Docker, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and AWS Built and deployed a complex agentic/LLM-backed (context engineering, RAG with vector db) into production to customers Have completed at least one 0 -> 1 journey of a functional product Nice-to-haves: Experience working with any of AWS ECS + SQS + Fargate, QDrant, LangChain Entrepreneurial Mindset: Ex-founder or future founder Why This Role is Special We're growing 166% MoM, onboarding monster logos (Rippling, Airwallex, Hackerrank, etc.), supporting global marketing teams, and on our way to Series A by EOY. This August, I'm looking for the most cracked top 1% founding engineers and founding customer success/ops to join our rocketship 🚀 Here's my pitch to you: Our product is far ahead of the competition. Companies are switching to us every week because they see the differentiation & immediate value. Revenue pipeline is already at $X,000,000 <2 months since launch and rapidly growing. There's simply more customers than we can handle. Customers now see Relixir as the unified solution to automate their entire SEO/GEO Growth Marketing function: a $400B market opportunity. We're backed by Y Combinator and legendary operating investors like z21 Ventures who have built unicorns from scratch. Lastly, our team is a group of nonchalant, hardworking, super chill college dropouts from Berkeley who have scaled and even exited previous companies for 7-figures.
