Senior Software Engineer (Python) – Founding Engineer at an AI Startup

About Us:

We are a funded, early-stage AI startup operating in stealth mode.

We are building Solvin, the world’s first fully autonomous AI teammate that independently fixes bugs end-to-end, freeing developers to focus on features and innovation. Unlike existing coding assistants that require constant developer supervision, Solvin operates as an autonomous virtual engineering team member. Powered by a novel multi-agent operating system, Solvin works in the background to transparently handle the entire bug lifecycle. We have designed our platform from the ground up for enterprise environments, with a deep focus on security, observability, and fine-grained control.

As a Founding Engineer, you will be a cornerstone of our technical team. You will have a pivotal role in designing, building, and deploying the foundational elements of our product. We're seeking a passionate and experienced engineer who is excited by the challenge of building a product from its initial concept to a production-ready MVP and beyond. You will work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where your contributions will be visible and impactful from day one. This role requires a blend of strong technical expertise, a product-oriented mindset, and the ability to thrive in the ambiguity of an early-stage startup.
