- Hands-on experience designing and developing APIs (REST/gRPC/WebSocket) with a focus on performance, fault tolerance, and clean architecture.
- Deep understanding of SQL and NoSQL databases, and can design efficient schemas, tune queries, and apply caching strategies to handle massive workloads.
- Experience working with distributed systems, container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- A solid grasp of event-driven architectures, asynchronous processing, and messaging systems like Kafka or RabbitMQ.
- Proven ability to diagnose and resolve system bottlenecks, ensuring scalability, reliability, and low-latency performance.
- A mindset that values observability — implementing structured logging, tracing, and metrics with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or OpenTelemetry.
- End-to-end ownership of features — from ideation and design to deployment and monitoring — with a focus on delivering impact.
- Curiosity and enthusiasm for working with conversational AI systems and integrating cutting-edge generative AI models into production.
- A collaborative spirit, eagerness to mentor peers, and willingness to contribute to architectural decisions in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
- (Bonus) Experience with frontend technologies like React, Next.js, or TypeScript, or contributions to open-source projects showcasing your engineering depth.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end frontend feature delivery from start to finish, ensuring high quality and attention to detail.
- Own the delivery of the full user experience, considering design, functionality, interaction, and performance.

Why AI Stealth Startup
Most enterprises are stuck in the 'chatbot' phase of AI, unable to deploy agents that actually perform complex work autonomously.
This startup is building the critical infrastructure layer that allows teams to scale AI agents across high-stakes business workflows with full observability.
Problems that matter. Company that matters. Infrastructure that matters.
Accelerate economic growth by connecting every talent to the work they are meant to do
Hiring got broken. Too focused on companies. Not enough on people. We're fixing it.
Human judgment plus AI. Talent first.
Built By
We built Grapevine. More than 1 million engineers use it to share real talk about companies, salaries, culture. We saw the problem up close.
Great engineers lost in broken systems.
So we built Round1. Backed by Peak XV and Kae Capital. One mission: connect exceptional engineers to work that matters.
