StartupGrind is seeking an AI Developer (Fullstack or Backend-Heavy) to proactively research and apply artificial intelligence across the Workana platform. Your primary role is to build MVPs and prototypes to test hypotheses and ship tangible value, acting as an internal reference for technical and strategic AI guidance.
What You'll Do
- Proactively research and pitch concrete ideas to apply AI across the Workana platform.
- Build fast MVPs using third-party APIs or your own lightweight models to test hypotheses.
- Turn internal ideas and early-stage drafts into functional prototypes.
- Act as an internal AI reference across squads — not just technically, but also strategically.
- Work closely with product, growth, and data teams to identify and develop high-impact use cases.
- Constantly learn, experiment, and turn that learning into shipped value.
What We're Looking For
- Fullstack or Backend Developer with solid production experience.
- Have already played around with AI APIs or projects (GPT, Claude, DALL·E, embeddings, RAG, etc.).
- Are execution-first: you like to build, not just brainstorm.
- Are self-directed, take initiative, and don’t need everything defined upfront to get started.
- Know how to balance experimentation with production-grade delivery.
- Have experience with Node.js, Python or Go.
- Are familiar with Docker, Kubernetes, and modern infrastructure.
Technical Stack
- Node.js, Python, Go
- Docker, Kubernetes
Team & Environment
You will work closely with product, growth, and data teams.
Benefits & Compensation
- A high-impact role with autonomy and ownership from day one.
- The chance to shape how Workana adopts AI — across real user-facing features.
- A remote-first company with a bias for action and a culture of continuous learning.
- No micromanagement, no red tape — just bold moves, smart people, and meaningful work.
- Compensation is negotiable based on your technical stack and experience.
Work Mode
This is a remote position.
We value a culture that is curious, collaborative, and humble — a fast learner with the drive to lead from within. We look for those who challenge assumptions, bring clarity to ambiguity, and help others grow.
