What You’ll Do
- Build and own backend systems that power Upriver’s AI agents and autonomous workflows.
- Work hands-on with cutting-edge agent architectures and applied AI, helping invent how these systems are built and used in production.
- Design scalable, reliable services for real customers, from data ingestion to orchestration and APIs.
- Deliver real customer value end-to-end: take features from idea to production, see them used by customers, and iterate based on real-world impact.
- Strong backend engineering experience
- Experience building production systems, and data-heavy services.
- Comfortable operating independently and taking full ownership.
- Product-minded, pragmatic, and excited about building from zero.
- Define a new category: Be part of a team figuring out how AI agents actually work inside real data platforms, and build a category leader product.
- High ownership, high trust: You’ll make real architectural and product decisions early on.
- Top-tier team: Work with exceptional engineers at a very high bar.
- Join at the inflection point: Strong early traction, a fresh seed round, and the opportunity to grow rapidly with the company as it scales.
