ABOUT THE ROLE This is an AI Engineer role on a small, fast-moving engineering team building an AI-native productivity platform in the email and communication space.

• Tune and iterate on LLM integrations and AI agent orchestration to improve reliability, efficiency, and real-world performance.
• Take full ownership of backend scalability and AI agent flow optimization from architecture through to production.
• Collaborate closely with a lean engineering team where your decisions have immediate product impact. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• Substantial hands-on track record of writing and shipping production software over time.
• Strong backend engineering experience designing and scaling distributed systems.
• Proven, hands-on experience optimizing LLMs and AI agent flows in production environments.
• High agency, a strong sense of ownership, and intentional career choices that reflect a genuine commitment to craft.
• Experience working at fast-growing, early-stage startups, with the drive that environment requires.
• A side-project portfolio or equivalent work that demonstrates technical depth and sustained curiosity.
• Willingness and legal eligibility to work on-site in Stockholm, including relocation if needed. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary range: $80,000 to $120,000 USD annually, plus equity.
