The posting

Role Overview

We're seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to join our fast-paced team to design, develop, and implement new infrastructure for Littlebird, our personalized AI teammate for Mac and Android (Windows soon!). We’re building personal AI; a thought partner that connects dots in your work and helps you think. Check out the recent TechCrunch news on our $11M seed funding and what users are saying about the product.

We're an async-first team that values craft and ownership. Our engineers live at the intersection of genuine research curiosity and production discipline: you'll push the frontier in areas like realtime data, search, and inference, then wrestle those ideas into systems that are fast, lean, and built to scale.

The Role

You will architect the system that allows our agent to reason, remember, and evolve. You'll develop core infrastructure that turns messy, unstructured user data into a coherent world model.

Some of the hard problems you'll solve:

Build AI Memory: Our current memory systems will continue to scale. You'll lead the charge to design and implement our next-generation memory system This means solving hard problems in:Scale Our Data & Retrieval Pipelines: As we grow, you'll be responsible for ensuring our data ingestion, hybrid search, and re-ranking pipelines are fast, reliable, and cost-effective. Security: Ensure our infrastructure is highly secure and observable, with a focus on speed and cost Graph-based Retrieval: How do you query a graph efficiently to provide the agent with rich, structured context, moving beyond simple semantic search?

Required Skills

Deep experience building and scaling data-intensive backend systems in Python or Go. Strong system-design skills and experience working with distributed systems. A clear mental model for data structures and their trade-offs. You like to think deeply about how to represent complex information. Hands-on experience with RAG pipelines, even if you're a little frustrated with their limitations. Production experience with modern cloud infrastructure, observability tooling, and PostgreSQL A pragmatic approach. You know when to build for the long term and when to ship a clever solution that works now.

Benefits

Remote-friendly work environment Collaborative team culture Opportunity to shape infrastructure decisions Competitive compensation packages including stock and health benefits, paid time off, and parental leave. 401k options for all US-based employees. Flexible working hours across multiple time zones We love to hear when birds chirp!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
