Summary

Our client is an early-stage AI startup building secure, intelligent tools to modernize how electronic components are analyzed, sourced, and managed - and we’re looking for a Full-Stack Engineer to join their founding team. This is a ground-floor opportunity to build a product from scratch, shape the technical foundation, and play a key role in bringing real innovation to a massive, overlooked industry. If you’ve ever wanted to help build something truly new - this is that moment.


What You’ll Do

  • Build and scale MVP end-to-end using Django (or make a strong case for another stack)
  • Collaborate closely with the founder and product designer to translate customer needs into functional and elegant product experiences
  • Implement clean, maintainable front-end interfaces (likely server-rendered in Django, with lightweight interactivity as needed)
  • Make foundational decisions around architecture, data modeling, and long-term scalability
  • Develop pipelines to clean, normalize, and enrich structured and unstructured data (PDFs, datasheets, scraped catalogs, etc.)
  • Implement and optimize RAG pipelines, semantic search, and embedding-based retrieval
  • Prioritize performance, security, and usability from day one
  • Help create a strong engineering culture grounded in curiosity, ownership, and speed


What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of full-stack experience, ideally in early-stage startups or greenfield builds
  • Strong experience with Django or similar backend frameworks
  • Comfort building front-ends using Django templates and vanilla JS (we’re keeping it lean at first)
  • Solid understanding of LLMs, embeddings, and RAG-based architectures
  • Excellent communicator, fluent in English (spoken and written)
  • High ownership mentality — you’re comfortable with ambiguity and moving fast
  • Product-minded — you care about delivering value to users, not just shipping code


Bonus Points If You Have

  • Experience working with data-heavy applications or B2B products
  • Familiarity with component data, supply chains, or electronics (not required)
  • Experience integrating with AI/ML models or supporting chat-based interfaces
  • You’ve built and launched MVPs as a solo or lead engineer
  • Knowledge of vector databases (e.g. Weaviate, Pinecone, FAISS)


Why Join Us?

  • Build something from the ground up — real ownership, real impact
  • Work directly with the founding team on high-impact problems
  • Join a space with deep, technical challenges and massive market potential
  • Help bring modern, intelligent software to a trillion-dollar industry stuck in the past
