Summary
✨ AI‑Generated
An early-stage team is seeking a junior-minded founding engineer to build production-grade AI applications from the ground up. The role spans LLMs, agent systems, orchestration, backend services, APIs, retrieval, memory, tool use, scalable architecture, and system-level debugging. Candidates need access to a CUDA-capable NVIDIA GPU with at least 12 GB of VRAM and should be able to run local language models.
Highlights
Founding engineering opportunity with significant ownership over core AI systems, hands-on work across the modern AI stack, and the chance to design scalable production infrastructure from the ground up.
Description
About exovra (formerly elomix)
We’re building advanced industrial automation platforms, working across the full modern AI stack — from LLM orchestration and agent systems to backend infrastructure and scalable deployment.
This is an early-stage founding role.
You’ll help design and build core systems from the ground up, not just integrate APIs.
Responsibilities
Build and ship production-grade AI applications and systemsDesign scalable, testable architectures across the stackWork with LLMs, agent frameworks, and orchestration systemsDevelop backend services, APIs, and system pipelinesBuild and optimize retrieval systems (RAG), memory, and tool usageDebug complex system-level issues across multiple layers
Required Hardware
NVIDIA GPU with at least 12 GB VRAMAbility to run local LLMs via Ollama, llama.cpp, or similar runtimesCUDA-capable environment for basic model inference testing
Tech Stack
We operate across the modern AI ecosystem, including:
LLM APIs & Models (OpenAI, open-source models, etc.)Agent & Orchestration Frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, etc.)Vector Databases & Retrieval (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS, etc.)Backend & Infra (Python, FastAPI, Node.js, Docker)Data & Pipelines (streaming, embeddings, indexing, evaluation)Deployment & Scaling (cloud platforms, async systems, distributed services)
Required Skills
Strong experience in Python or backend/system developmentAbility to design scalable, maintainable systemsExperience with APIs, distributed systems, or data pipelinesInterest in LLMs, agents, and AI system designSelf-driven and comfortable in an early-stage environment
Preferred Skills
Experience with RAG systems, embeddings, or vector searchFamiliarity with LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, or similar toolsExperience deploying or scaling AI systemsA commited engineer who can juggle a founding role, and a full time job.Built projects from 0 → 1
Compensation
3% equity (founding-level role), 1 year cliff, 4 year vest
