Responsibilities
Rapid Prototyping (0-to-1): Own the initial technical roadmap. You’ll build the "Version 0" of a startup's backend, ensuring it’s scrappy enough to launch but structured enough to scale once the venture spins out
Rapid design and prototyping, build functional MVPs in weeks, not months, to test business hypotheses and user demand
Architect the end-to-end flow for recommendation systems—from data ingestion and feature engineering to real-time model inference and feedback loops
Build the "connective tissue" between LLMs, vector databases, and traditional relational stores to create stateful, intelligent applications
Build and deploy scalable discovery algorithms and feedback loops that personalize the user experience from day one
