Job description
Company Description
Founded by entrepreneurs who've played significant roles in over $2b in exits, we understand the loneliness, overwhelm, and decision paralysis that comes with building a company.
We're inviting you to build Amiara with us: an AI-native Business OS that combines the world's knowledge with millions of pages of proprietary business intelligence and a deep understanding of each customer's unique business, all orchestrated by a multi-dimensional AI that doesn't just answer questions, but understands your business and builds it with you.
We're backed by top-tier investors and working with a global team of top 1% engineers and operators who are obsessed with building the future of how businesses are built.
Role Description
We're looking for an exceptional AI Backend Engineer to join our Austin team and help architect the intelligent systems that power the next generation of business-building. You'll be at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and real-world business impact, designing and building the backend infrastructure that orchestrates autonomous agents, manages complex multi-step workflows, and delivers strategic intelligence to thousands of entrepreneurs.
This is a full-time, on-site role in Austin, TX where you'll work alongside world-class engineers, product leaders, and founders who are deeply committed to solving one of the hardest problems in business: helping entrepreneurs know exactly what to work on next and executing it with AI-powered precision.
Technical Expertise:
2+ years of experience building scalable backend systems in production environments
Strong proficiency in at least one modern backend language (Node at least)
Deep understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, and API principles
AI/ML Integration Experience:
Hands-on experience integrating AI/ML models (especially LLMs) into production backend systems
Deep understanding of AI agent architectures
Familiarity with bleeding edge AI frameworks and tools - if you have an OpenClaw that is a good start (and if you think it is poor, even better)
Problem-Solving & Ownership:
Track record of taking ownership of complex technical challenges and delivering elegant solutions, having been a founder of something yourself is a major plus
Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to define requirements when they're unclear
Bonus points for finding and DM'ing me on IG.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience building agent-based systems, workflow orchestration platforms, or autonomous execution frameworks
Background in startups or fast-paced environments where you've worn multiple hats and moved quickly
Open-source contributions or side projects that demonstrate your passion for building
