Bucharest Metropolitan Area, Romania Salestools Full time 40,000 - 80,000 per year

Why We Exist

Enterprise and mid-market sellers juggle fractured processes, mountains of data, and relentless pressure to persuade. With 700,000+ B2B reps in the U.S. alone, individual sellers are drowning in manual work. 
is changing that — 100×.

Our first AI employee, Olivia (SDR)
, already drives $10 M in new ARR every month for customers by automating prospecting, research, outreach, and meeting booking. Backed by top investors, we're scaling the platform into a 
full-stack roster of human-like digital workers.

(On a sidenote: yes, we're VC-backed and growing fast.)

Your Mission

Join our founding engineering team to design the high-performance back-end and data systems that power these 
Agentic AI Sales Workers.
 Your code will shape the product, culture, and millions of future workflows.

What You'll Own

  • Architect & build 
    core micro-services
     in Python that orchestrate LangGraph/LangChain agents, ElasticSearch vector search, and NoSQL stores.
  • Embed 
    AI natively
     into sales workflows — APIs that plug directly into Olivia and future agents.
  • Containerize & ship
    : craft Docker images, helm charts, and GitHub Actions pipelines for zero-touch releases.
  • Scale globally on 
    AWS/GCP
    : design fault-tolerant, multi-region deployments and blazing-fast data layers.
  • Level-up the craft: champion 
    best practices, performance tuning, and observability
     across the org.

  • Hands-on with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD automation
  • Proficiency with Git/GitHub

  • Experience with

  • Strong grasp of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure)
     and distributed architectures
  • Clear written & spoken communication; can explain complex ideas to non-technical stakeholders
  • Ownership mentality
    : outcome-driven, resilient under deadlines, thrives in structured and chaotic environments

Preferred qualifications

Your applicants don't need to have these qualifications, but you prefer to hire someone with them:

  • Experience with 
    ElasticSearch (vector search, scaling queries)
  • Familiarity with LangGraph / LangChain
     and 
    AI/ML integrations
  • Large-scale web scraping systems
     (Playwright, crawlers, etc.)
  • PHP/Laravel services in production
  • React / NextJS familiarity to collaborate with front-end teams
  • Strong problem-solving mindset: proactive, detail-oriented, creative, curious

    startups
     or as a 
    founder/early team member
