Full Job Posting
- Are taking an ambitious approach to a massive market, and each team member’s responsibilities reflect this. At Exponent, a single-engineer owned product like the Code Review Agent regularly outperforms entire companies dedicated to the same problem.
- Are a team of engineers who have each been building software for over a decade, and value technical depth in a world where it’s increasingly easy to forego it. We come from a background of systems and infrastructure engineering, working on things like the Swift Compiler, distributed data orchestration software, and scaled video conferencing systems.
- Have several years of experience building scalable backend systems with Python, and are comfortable with FastAPI, async programming, and modern Python tooling
- Understand high-throughput interactions between our backend and data stores like Postgres and Redis
- Are extremely skilled at debugging, starting with thoughtful instrumentation and observability
- Understand the challenges of building with LLMs: managing API and tool calls, optimizing for cost and latency, iterating on prompts, etc.
- We aggressively dogfood our own product and circulate feedback internally. We have a pair programming agent available to try at https://www.exponent.run/ , and it’s a great signal for you to try it and let us know what you think.
