We're currently working on Ava 2.0, pushing the boundaries of what an AI employee can do. And we're hiring. Your Mission This isn't a maintenance gig. You'll design, build, and scale the backend that powers AI employees. Expect to: Build resilient, scalable services: Architect and implement backend systems and APIs that handle high-throughput AI requests with precision. Own end-to-end delivery: From design to deployment, you'll shepherd features into production rapidly, with quality and ownership. Work cross-functionally: Partner with product, design, and AI teams to ensure backend decisions serve real user workflows. Use AI as a coworker: Directly collaborate with AI coding agents like Claude Code, leveraging them to boost your productivity and quality. Maintain engineering rigor: Champion testing, observability, deployment pipelines, and reliability best practices from day one. Drive long-term scalability: Iteratively improve architecture, manage technical debt, and optimize for scale as we grow. What You Bring 2+ years of backend engineering experience in high-growth environments, preferably early-stage or Series B. Strong experience building scalable, data-intensive services with modern APIs and robust infrastructure. Proficiency with cloud-native tools - containers, orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes), monitoring, CI/CD. Deep understanding of distributed systems, APIs, reliability, performance, and database systems (SQL + NoSQL). Experience with modern stacks - TypeScript/Node preferred, but equivalent backend stacks are welcome. Demonstrated track record of ownership - leading parts of systems independently and shipping with impact. Excellent communication, clarity in articulating architecture to technical and non-technical stakeholders. What Makes This Role Stand Out End-to-end ownership: You're not just doing the “ticket”; you own feature delivery. Build systems that support intelligent, autonomous AI teammates. Scalable, reliable systems: Backend must handle growth and complexity. High-throughput pipelines serving AI agents across many customers. Hands-on infrastructure work: Jump in on deployment, monitoring, tuning. You're shaping the platform that automates itself (AI agents included). Collaborative, multidisciplinary environment: Work closely with product, design, ops. Work alongside AI engineers and product partners to define what AI employees can do. Balance innovation and technical debt: Iterate quickly while maintaining system health. Ship fast but sustainably - your engine powers AI teammates in production. Why Artisan is the Next Career-Defining Move You'll be building the infrastructure that powers AI employees - an entirely new product category. Real equity upside and compensation aligned with high expectations and high impact. High-velocity environment: release often, learn fast, iterate week over week. Mission-driven: reshape how businesses scale by putting AI on the front lines.
