Work closely with research and infra teams to support experimental velocity
Contribute to core engineering culture, including code reviews and mentorship

Requirements

3+ years building distributed systems or high-availability backends (preferably in fast-moving or high-stakes environments)
Strong proficiency in Python and at least one systems language (e.g., Go, Rust, C++)
Experience with cloud platforms, containerization, and orchestration (AWS/GCP/Azure, Docker, Kubernetes)
Database setup, management, and optimization experience (SQL/NoSQL)
Relentless focus on code quality, correctness, and performance
Comfortable leveraging modern AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, etc.) to increase productivity & code output while maintaining high code quality, maintainability, and structure

Bonus – Agentic workflows / applied AI integration

Experience supporting or integrating agentic AI workflows into backend systems (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, Haystack, or custom frameworks)
Familiarity with persistence/checkpointing, streaming pipelines, and vector/knowledge store integrations

Why Join ATG

Work on AI with a massive market opportunity
Early team of repeat founders backed by top investors
High agency, talent dense, zero bureaucracy
