Member of Technical Staff, Backend & Product

Goaly AI is a stealth AI startup building systems that help companies develop proprietary AI. The Member of Technical Staff will build backend, platform, API, SDK, and product layers for agentic systems, while owning reliability, operability, user feedback, and end-to-end product delivery.

What you'll do:

• Build backend systems for agent execution, including tool invocation, workflow orchestration, state and memory, event streams, queues, retries, scheduling, and long-running task management
• Design and ship stable public APIs, SDKs, CLIs, webhooks, and reference integrations with clear versioning, error models, documentation, and upgrade paths
• Build control-plane capabilities such as projects and organizations, authentication and authorization, secrets, quotas, rate limits, usage metering, billing integration, and multi-tenant isolation
• Create secure interfaces to sandboxes, models, data sources, and external tools while making common developer workflows fast and intuitive
• Own reliability and operability from design through launch: testing, staged rollout, monitoring, tracing, alerting, incident response, and postmortems
• Work directly with design partners and early users to understand friction, support high-priority deployments, and turn repeated bespoke requests into reusable product capabilities
• Partner with research, inference, training, security, and design teams to translate low-level capabilities into coherent product surfaces
• Use product telemetry, qualitative feedback, and support data to prioritize work and evaluate whether a launch created real user value
• Raise the bar for engineering quality through thoughtful design reviews, code reviews, documentation, and pragmatic reduction of technical debt

What they're looking for:

• • A strong record shipping production backend systems, developer platforms, or technically demanding products end-to-end
• • Excellent programming skills in one or more of Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, Rust, or another language appropriate for reliable production services
• • Experience designing APIs and working with databases, caches, queues, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure
• • Sound judgment about reliability, security, observability, compatibility, and the trade-offs between a clean developer experience and system complexity
• • Product sense and user empathy: you can turn an ambiguous need into a clear interface, make reasonable scope decisions, and iterate from feedback
• • High ownership and clear communication across product, research, systems, and customer-facing teams
• • Experience building agent platforms, workflow systems, model-serving products, ML infrastructure, or other developer-facing AI systems
• • Experience with multi-tenant control planes, identity and access management, metering or billing, enterprise security, or high-throughput APIs
• • Familiarity with LLM inference, fine-tuning, evaluation, tool use, sandboxes, or the operational lifecycle of production agents
• • Experience owning open-source SDKs, developer tools, API documentation, examples, or community-facing integrations
• • Full-stack ability and an eye for interaction design when a product problem requires work beyond the backend

Benefits:

• • Visa sponsorship. We do sponsor visas.
• Location-based hybrid policy: all staff are expected to work from one of the offices at least three days per week.
• Visa sponsorship, with immigration counsel to support the process.
• Complimentary lunch and dinner in the offices, along with snacks and beverages.
