💡 What you’ll bring

• Substantial tenure building production software at a fast-growing company - fintech, AI, consumer tech, or any environment where pace and stakes were both high
• Proven experience owning complex, high-stakes systems end to end - not handing off at merge, but staying accountable through observability, iteration, and scale
• Deep fluency in Go (Golang) and comfort operating across a modern backend stack (PostgreSQL, Temporal, GCP, Kubernetes)
• A product instinct that goes beyond technical elegance - you think from the customer backwards and bring that into every architectural decision
• Senior, Staff, Principal or Distinguished level in practice - someone who has operated with real scope and real accountability
• Genuine excitement for autonomous AI as a platform shift, not a trend - you want to build the infrastructure that makes agents genuinely reliable
• Strong opinions, loosely held - conviction without ego, and always willing to be wrong in pursuit of the right answer

Why join Gradient Labs? This is a unique chance to be part of a team working with cutting-edge technology to reshape how businesses will operate in the future. Over the next 10 years, every company will need to embrace AI-powered operations to stay competitive, and this role puts you right in the middle of that transformation.

You’ll tackle challenging and new problems, work with some of the most exciting brands across different industries, and be surrounded by a passionate, smart team that’s driven to build something groundbreaking.
