Solve hard problems & ship world-changing tech with a world class team ** **At Elyos, we’re building AI voice agents that help trades businesses run smoother, scale faster, and deliver better customer experiences. As one of our founding engineers, you won’t just build software - you’ll shape the way Elyos works, interacts with customers, and grows. If you love building things from the ground up, solving complex technical challenges, and working with cutting-edge AI tech, you’re in the right place. What You’ll Do Build and ship core product features across our stack (Python, TypeScript, cloud infra, event-driven systems, third party integrations). Own the lifecycle: work directly with customers to understand their needs, scope solutions, and deliver outcomes. Move fast, when it matters: know when to hack an MVP to deliver value quickly, and when to invest in scalable foundations. Raise the bar: use best practices everywhere (e.g testing, documentation, reliability, security) and help others do the same. Who You Are Customer-obsessed: You start with the customer. You empathise with their needs, ask the right questions, and build with their success in mind. Biased for action: You try stuff. You move quickly, experiment often, and aren’t afraid to learn in public. Owner’s mindset: You don’t wait for permission - you take responsibility for outcomes and raise the bar for the whole team. Ambitious & bold: You think big and take bets. You’re excited to explore new ideas, technologies, and markets that others might shy away from. Team-first collaborator: You make the next pot of coffee. No task is beneath you, and you care about building a team where everyone can thrive. Care deeply: You give a shit about the quality of your work. If something you built isn’t great, it nags at you until you make it better. What You Bring Strong fundamentals in software engineering - you can design, debug, and ship reliable systems. Proficiency with at least one of our core languages (Python or TypeScript) - or proof that you can learn what's needed. Experience building and shipping AI products end-to-end (at a startup, on a side project, in open source, or at scale in a larger company). Comfort working across the stack - frontend, backend, infrastructure. You are everywhere. Ability to work directly with customers or non-technical stakeholders to scope, negotiate, and deliver solutions. A track record that shows drive: maybe you’ve launched something on your own, contributed to open source, or taken ownership of hairy projects others avoided. Bonus if you have: Early-stage startup experience, especially in AI, voice platforms, or event-driven systems. Familiarity with modern cloud infrastructure (Kubernetes, serverless, distributed systems). Evidence of customer empathy - support experience, founder experience, or just building things that solved real user pain.
