Job Specifications

We are a fast-paced startup bridging the gap between AI Productivity & Data Sovereignty for Small and Mid market enterprises operating in regulated space such as Fintech, KYC and Healthcare. We want our users to never worry about the data leak while using AI for their sensitive workflows.

If you thrive in ambiguity, move fast, hold yourself to a high bar, and are obsessed with building products that solve real problems, let’s talk.

About the Role

We are building ekai (https://yourekai.com), an AI-native workspace and we’re looking for a Full Stack Engineer who treats AI as a system, not just a prompt. We are building multi-step reasoning agents, long-term memory systems, and production-grade RAG pipelines.

This is a founding team role. We have zero interest in big-company bureaucracy.

The Tech Stack

Frontend: React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS (Focus on state management & performance).
Backend: Python (FastAPI/Django), Async APIs, Event-driven workflows.
GenAI: LlamaIndex/LangChain, Agent orchestration, Tool calling, Structured outputs.
Data: MongoDB (context graphs/memory), Qdrant (Vector search), PostgreSQL.
Infra: AWS/Azure, Docker, Terraform, CI/CD.

What You’ll Do

Own End-to-End: Idea → Implementation → Production. You own the frontend, the backend, and the AI layer.
Architect RAG & Agents: Build pipelines using MongoDB + Qdrant. Optimize for latency, cost, and re-ranking logic.
Build Systems: Design deterministic, debuggable AI flows with memory and multi-step reasoning.
Move Fast: Convert prototypes to production-ready systems quickly without sacrificing maintainability.

Who You Are NOT (The Filter)

You wait for permission: If you need a project manager to tell you what to do next, you will not thrive here.
You are a specialist: We don't have "just frontend" or "just backend" silos. You are a generalist who solves problems.
You prioritize process over shipping: If you value "big company" meetings and 2-week sprint planning over daily deployments, this isn't for you.

Qualifications

Recent, hands-on experience building agentic workflows or production RAG.
Deep proficiency in Python and TypeScript.
Bias toward action and a "default to ship" mindset.

Why Join Us?

Base Salary + Equity in a growing startup.
High autonomy and zero bureaucracy.
The chance to be a foundational member of a high-growth AI company.
Flexibility / Work from home.

How to Apply: Send us your Resume & GitHub/Portfolio with a cover letter explaining what differentiates you from others applying for this role.

About the Company

Every meeting is packed with critical discussions and decisions, but the real work often begins afterward — chasing updates, tracking action items, and answering the same questions over and over. Ekai changes that. It listens, remembers, and helps you move things forward without the extra hassle. Imagine a teammate who drafts updates, summarizes key decisions, reminds you of your action items and respond to repeated query on your behalf — so nothing ever slips through the cracks again.
