Founding Engineer at Liva AI
As part of Liva’s engineering team, you’ll have end-to-end ownership over projects that define how frontier AI data is collected, validated, and quality-assured. You’ll work on a mix of platform engineering and infrastructure development (scaling data platforms, building human-in-the-loop systems, designing evaluation pipelines).
You might build a mobile app for data collection one week, design an automated QA pipeline with intelligent validation systems the next, and then improve our annotation platforms. You’ll also play a key role in developing AI agent–driven workflows that automate core operations.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
- Design and build data collection platforms: web apps, mobile apps, and annotation interfaces
- Build robust QA pipelines with automated validation, quality checks, and error detection systems
- Lead the automation of key operational processes
- Participate actively in code reviews and technical design discussions
- Contribute to the core infrastructure powering data collection and quality assurance for leading AI labs
REQUIRED SKILLS:
- Super fast at shipping
- Can flexibly learn and adapt to new tools/goals
- Strong coding fundamentals in Node.js / TypeScript, Python, and React/Next.js
- Experience building web applications and ideally mobile apps
- Familiarity with AWS, databases, and API design
- Strong communication skills and a bias toward ownership, curiosity, and delivering simple solutions to complex problems
- Bonus: Experience with annotation platforms, data labeling tools, human-in-the-loop workflows, or mobile app development
BENEFITS:
- Daily lunch & dinner covered
- Free gym membership
- Health insurance
- Opportunity to be an early member of a fast growing YC-backed startup
