About this role
We're looking for a full-stack founding engineer to help build Airweave's product layer that connects AI to user data.
At Airweave, you'll work across the entire system: from the search pipelines that power AI agents, to the sync infrastructure that keeps data flowing, to the APIs, MCPs and frontend that developers use every day. You'll ship features that land in production the same day.
This is early-stage work. The codebase is young, the architecture is evolving, and your decisions will shape how thousands of AI agents access information.
---
What you'll work on
Build and improve our multi-step, multi-index, distributed LLM search infrastructure
Design and maintain our microservices layer: APIs, MCP servers, and async workers coordinated through Temporal and Redis
Extend the sync engine that connects to dozens of sources and keeps data flowing reliably
Ship frontend features in React/TypeScript that make complex workflows feel simple
Contribute to CI/CD, observability, and the tooling that keeps the team moving fast
You might be a fit if
You've built and shipped applications end-to-end
You like understanding how systems fit together, not just your slice
You're comfortable moving between frontend and backend work
You have familiarity with transformers, embeddings and vector search
You've worked with async Python, TypeScript, or similar
You're drawn to early-stage environments where things move fast and change often
Bonus Points
Experience with data pipelines, infrastructure (Terraform, Kubernetes), or ETL systems
Background in distributed systems or workflow orchestration
