Job Description

What it means to be an early engineer Joining Vellum this early means that
you’re going to play a huge part in guiding both the technical and cultural
evolution of the company. Together, we’re going to face the hardest technical
challenges this journey has to offer head-on. As the team grows, you’ll be the
battle hardened expert that everyone looks towards for guidance. With great
power comes great responsibility 🙂 What you’re signing up for Tackling our
most difficult (and interesting) problems - prompt chaining, fine-tuning
infrastructure, and multimodality, just to name a few Designing, architecting,
and building robust critical infrastructure Owning our most important backend
systems Defining and scoping green-field projects that move the company
forward Working closely with customers to understand what the need, figuring
out how to make them successful, and owning the solutions end to end Serving
as a cultural pillar of the team Navigating a fast-moving, highly competitive
landscape Our stack In case you’re curious: Google Cloud Platform - as our
cloud provider Postgres - as our primary database Python - what we write our
backend in Django - for our webservers Flask - for our microservices
Typescript - what we write our frontend in React - as our frontend framework
Working at Vellum We’re laser focused on helping companies bring AI into
production and providing real business value. Decision making is simple: if
what we do allows our users to increase how many use cases of AI they’re able
to successfully put into production, then we do it! Don’t just cut corners.
Cut the right corners (i.e. reduce scope, not quality). What can you do with
10% of your time to get 90% of the desired impact? Now that you only spent 10%
of the time on this task, imagine how much more can be done with the rest of
your time! Everyone is a 1000x engineer/designer/pm when they’re passionate
about the problems they’re solving and love the people they’re working with
Because we trust each other, we can move fast and have fun doing it 😄
