Job Description
We're building two companies. Looking for 2 founding engineers who want to build something from scratch and shape how businesses and education operate in the next decade.
What we're building:
1. Tairo Partners – B2B AI Agency for customer service. Helping businesses scale without limits. Chat and call agents, smart lead nurturing and generation, data analytics, and consulting.
2. Nikolai - [EdTech SaaS] – Rethinking how millions of children will learn in the next decade. Early validation looks strong. Launching Q1.
(Same core engines. You'll build infrastructure that powers both).
The tech stack:
Frontend
→ React 18, TypeScript, Vite
→ CSS3, responsive design
→ Framer Motion
Data visualization
→ Chart.js, Recharts
→ React-Flow, React-Force-Graph
Backend
→ Node.js, Express.js
→ RESTful APIs, ES Modules
→ Event-driven architecture
AI infrastructure
→ Custom real-time voice orchestration engine
→ Proprietary conversation flow architecture
→ Multi-modal AI interaction framework (text, voice, async agents)
→ LLM integrations (tool/function calling, streaming, context management)
Architecture
→ Component-based
→ Event-driven
→ Built for scale, safety, and low latency
Who we're looking for:
A-player builders who ship. Show us what you've made - side projects, GitHub, live products. We don't care about your degree or FAANG logos.
Required experience (important)
You don’t need everything — but you must be strong in the core:
Backend & systems
→ Strong Node.js / TypeScript experience in production
→ Designing scalable APIs and async systems
→ Experience with queues, background jobs, retries, and failure handling
Applied AI / LLMs
→ Ability to build, fine-tune, and deploy our own LLMs — including deciding when to fine-tune vs use RAG vs prompting, running self-hosted models, and owning model quality, cost, and failure modes (not just wrapping APIs).
→ Integrating LLMs (OpenAI / Anthropic / similar) into real products
→ Prompt engineering beyond “basic prompting”
→ Tool / function calling, structured outputs
→ Managing context windows, cost, latency, and reliability
→ Designing safety rails to prevent bad or unsafe AI actions
AI agents & automation
→ Building agents that read, reason, and act
→ Experience with human-in-the-loop flows (draft → approve → send)
→ Confidence thresholds, fallback logic, refusal conditions, optimization
Email & communication systems (For Tairo)
→ Experience with email APIs (Gmail API, Outlook / Microsoft Graph)
→ OAuth2 flows and permission scopes
→ Threaded replies, drafts vs send logic
→ Understanding of email safety (reply-all, data leakage, user approval flows)
Security & privacy
→ Handling user data responsibly
→ Token storage & rotation
→ Minimizing data sent to LLMs
→ Logging, auditability, and kill switches for AI actions
Who you'll work with:
Ali (CTO) – Computer science, data engineer + game dev background. Specializes in architecting AI solutions that actually work in production
Johannes (CEO) – 8 years building companies. (Josu Media, Blinc Collective). Deep Nordic business relationships. Handles sales, clients and strategy.
Benjamin (CMO & growth lead) - Brings extensive marketing expertise and builds the content, lead and sales growth engine.
What we offer:
→ 10% equity total (5% each company, 4-year vesting, 1-year cliff)
→ Salary based on agreement
→ Active commercial clients and pilots with Nordic clients
→ Fully remote. Office coming later
→ Team bootcamps (Focused work sprints in different locations of the world)
→ You own entire product areas from day one
→ An environment to grow and build together with a deeply obsessed & passionate team
The reality:
→ Long hours, high intensity
→ You'll own significant decisions from day one
This IS for you if you:
→ Take initiative, ship fast and challenge our ideas
→ Can complement our CTO Ali (and push each other further)
→ Want to build something impactful you can point to in 5 years and say: "I built that"
This is NOT for you if you want:
→ Predictable hours and "work-life balance" now
We're bringing in TWO engineers. That's it.
