Founding Engineer, System 1 ModelsSydney, hybridFull time
Be the first engineertaking on billion-dollar giants.
We are two founders in Sydney, and one of the world's largest consumer goods companies is already our first enterprise customer. We're hiring one of Australia's best engineers to build the next part: acting on the whole customer in under half a second.
01 · The problem
10,325 people asked support, then never came back.
One brand. The ticket lived in Gorgias and the order lived in Shopify, so nobody saw it in time. Seeing it is built. Acting in time is the job.
02 · Where it stands
The joined view of each customer is in production. Acting on it, in the moment, is the job.
03 · What you'll own
- The fast path: from a visitor on a site to a decision in under half a second
- Agentic workflows that run in production for enterprise customers, with the checks that make them safe to trust
- Keeping customer data safe as it moves through the system
- How we build: the stack, the standards, and the next hires
Your first 90 days
- Week 1Ship to production inside the existing product.
- Week 12Something you built, in front of a customer.
04 · You'll fit if
- You've taken language-model or ML systems from prototype to production, and kept them running
- You care about latency, and can tell us where the milliseconds go
- You're eager to work with System 1 models: small, fast models that make a judgement in milliseconds instead of reasoning for minutes
- You already run parallel streams of agentic development, and you review what they ship before it goes out. We expect it here
- You're happy to talk to a customer's engineering team directly
- You'd rather own a problem than a ticket
- Our stack is TypeScript and Python. Depth in one matters more than both
05 · Pay
06 · How we hire
- A 30-minute call with Eli.
