Role summary

Rebolt is seeking a Founding Backend Software Engineer to build and scale their next-generation no-code platform that enables companies to create and deploy custom full-stack applications. This role involves working with cutting-edge AI/ML systems, web agents, and full-stack development, shaping the technical architecture and culture of a YC-backed startup. The ideal candidate has 2+ years of backend experience, fluency in Python and TypeScript, understanding of databases, and experience developing RESTful APIs. They should be self-motivated, product-focused, and value code quality while shipping fast. Experience with AI/ML, LLMs, agents, automation, DevOps tooling, and Linux is a plus.

Rebolt is building the next-generation no-code platform that empowers companies to create and deploy custom full-stack applications in minute. Our mission is to enable both technical and non technical teams to replace brittle spreadsheets and one-size-fits-all SaaS with their own internal tools.

**Why Join**

* Participate in building a cutting-edge AI agent platform from 0 to 1 and scale it to production.
* Significant founding team equity.
* Work directly with AI/ML systems, web agents, and full-stack development.
* Shape the technical architecture and culture of a fast-growing YC-backed startup.

**You will be a perfect fit if you…**

* Have 2+ years of backend engineering experience and a solid foundation in both Computer Science and software engineering principles. We're also open to exceptional college grads with strong intern/co-op experience.
* Are fluent in Python and TypeScript and have worked with FastAPI and/or NextJS in the past.
* Understand how databases (KV, SQL, Document based) work, when each of them should be used and how they can be optimized.
* Have previously developed, tested and scaled RESTful APIs in the past.
* Are self-motivated, like to take ownership, have low ego; desire to work on a fast-paced, intense, fun team. Passion for building a world-class engineering culture.
* Are product-focused, understanding that technology is a means to build an amazing product, not an end in itself.
* Value code quality, but are pragmatic, shipping fast when needed.
* Are excited about AI/ML applications and have previously worked in LLMs, agents, and automation

**Nice to have:**

* Knowledge of OOP design patterns, clean architecture, event sourcing and Test Driven Development.
* Experience with DevOps tooling: Docker, Kubernetes, Github Actions and cloud platforms.
* Thorough knowledge of the Linux operating system.

**About our hiring process:**

1. 30 minute interview with a founder to discuss your background
2. If we think you are a potential fit, we will send you a take home assignment.
3. One hour interview diving into your take home submission where we’ll ask you about your solution, etc.
4. Final interview with the full team.

**What it means to join the team:**

* **Own the engine room**. Architect and ship the core services that power our multi-agent AI workflows: rock-solid restful APIs, data models built for evolution, and deployment/debug tools that just work.
* **Be the go-to expert.** Troubleshoot critical issues in production, mentor peers on system design, and evangelize best practices across services and languages.
* **Move at startup speed.** Partner directly with customers: jump on customer calls, diagnose pain points, and deliver impactful improvements in hours, not quarters.
