We are a venture capital fund investing in early stage gaming and AI startups. We've built our own internal AI systems to run the firm, and we need someone to help us build more of it, faster.

You'll work directly with our AI & Data Operations lead, on the systems that power how our team operates day-to-day. Internal tools, integrations, LLM-powered workflows, and the backend infrastructure underneath all of it — practical work that gets used immediately and has to hold up over time. The goal isn’t extra engineering capacity — it’s expanding what our internal AI layer can carry. 

• →Build and maintain the backend infrastructure behind our internal AI systems
• →Design and manage the databases that power our workflows
• →Build internal tools and services that make our investment team faster
• →Wire up LLMs into real workflows — investment diligence, meeting prep, CRM enrichment, research, 
• →Pair with your direct partner to keep things simple and shippable
• →Own reliability for the systems you ship — what was episodic project work last year is now a steady operating load
• →Collaborate directly with our investment team — on what to build next

• 2-5 years of hands-on coding experience — CS degree or equivalent
• Real backend and database experience — you've designed schemas, written non-trivial queries, and shipped infrastructure that real users depend on
• Solid fundamentals: you can read, write, and debug real code across at least one mainstream language (Python or TypeScript ideal)
• Comfortable with APIs, cloud infrastructure (GCP a plus), and stitching systems together
• Fluent with AI coding tools — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar — and noticeably faster with them than without
• Strong written English and async communication
• High agency: you can take a vague idea and turn it into a working thing without needing the spec written for you
