Founding AI Engineer (Staff)
- Python + LangGraph (for multi-agentic alert investigation)
- Rust (because we like systems that are fast and correct)
- ClickHouse (high-volume event + investigation history at scale)
- AWS + Terraform (infrastructure that builds itself)
- Next.js + TypeScript (because front-end should be sexy too)
- Architect and build the core alert, investigation, root cause analysis (RCA) pipeline in Python
- Design and implement key systems including:
- Alert ingestion + normalization
- Context enrichment + correlation
- Problem framing outputs
- Hypothesis orchestration engine
- Investigation execution runtime
- Investigation artifacts + reporting
- Drive core architecture decisions and ensure the system is observable, auditable, and reliable from day one
- Partner with founders to ship a small set of high-value alert types that work extremely well, then expand coverage deliberately
- Build customer-ready integrations across the pipeline stack
- Educate and guide future engineers, setting a high bar for technical quality, speed, and pragmatism
- 5+ years (ideally 10+) professional software engineering experience.
- Proven track record of shipping real products at high velocity
- Strong backend and distributed-systems foundations, ideally with experience in data platforms and production pipeline stacks and incident/observability tooling.
- Experience working at an early-stage startup and bonus points for having joined earlier.
- High ownership and sharp product instincts: you build what matters and cut what doesn’t.
- Competitive base salary
- Meaningful equity ownership with real upside
- Final package depends on experience, impact, and seniority
- Salary + equity (equity typically ~0.3% – 2%+)
- 30 days annual leave
- Employee health insurance
- Visa sponsorship
- Weekly team dinners and socials
- Regular team offsites and trips (our most recent was Kenya )
- The satisfaction of building a world-class AI-powered product with an exceptional team
- Why do you consider yourself an exceptional engineer? (Be specific, we’re interested in evidence, not adjectives.)
- Why Tracer? What about this problem, product, or moment resonates with you?
- Links we should see:
- GitHub
- Portfolio, blog posts, talks, or anything else that shows how you think and build
- Introductory Call (15-30 mins): Call with our hiring manager to discuss your background, motivations, and learn more about Tracer
- Role Fit Interview (45 mins): Meet with your manager or a similar-level team member to review your working style, skills, and fit for the role
- Take-home & Competency Deep Dive (1 hour): Complete a practical exercise (e.g., case study, presentation, or technical problem-solving) to explore the role's responsibilities and expectations
- On-site meetup (Half Day): On-site interviews and team lunch at our headquarters to ask any questions and experience our office and culture firsthand
- Offer: Final decision and offer
