Founding AI Systems Engineer | Brain Gateway & AI Orchestration

We’re building the orchestration layer for a new AI platform that transforms voice and text into intelligent action. This is not a chatbot. This is not a traditional backend. We’re looking for a systems engineer who enjoys designing elegant architectures and leveraging AI to accelerate development. The Brain Gateway sits between a mobile app and an AI reasoning engine. It receives user input, structures it, sends it to the Brain for reasoning, then executes the Brain’s decisions through a growing set of capabilities such as memory, tasks, scheduling, communication, and future integrations. Our philosophy is simple: * Existing software provides the capabilities. * AI provides the reasoning. * The Brain Gateway provides the orchestration. Your responsibility will be to build this orchestration layer. Initial Responsibilities * Design the Brain Gateway architecture. * Build clean, scalable APIs. * Integrate voice transcription. * Normalize user input into structured requests. * Connect to AI reasoning services. * Execute structured routing decisions. * Build a capability-based execution engine. * Log execution history and proof. * Design the system to support future connectors without major rewrites. Technologies Preferred: * Python * FastAPI * PostgreSQL * Supabase * AI APIs (Claude, OpenAI, OpenRouter) * Background workers * Git Experience with AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Replit Agent, or similar is highly valued. We want someone who uses AI to dramatically accelerate development rather than writing everything manually. Who We’re Looking For We’re looking for someone who naturally thinks in systems. You enjoy reducing complexity, designing clean interfaces, and building infrastructure that can evolve over time. You’re comfortable collaborating with AI as a development partner, reviewing its work, and shipping high-quality software quickly. If you enjoy building elegant systems that other developers will build upon for years, we’d love to talk. Please that mobile app and hardware development are being developed by other team members. 1. Tell me about the most complex AI orchestration or workflow system you’ve built. What made it challenging? 2. Which AI development tools do you use daily (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Replit, etc.), and how have they changed the way you build software? 3. If you had to build a backend that receives voice input, routes it through AI reasoning, and executes structured workflows, what architecture would you propose and why?
