We support portfolio companies by: - Rapidly prototyping new product ideas to validate markets - Providing flex capacity during high-growth phases - Maintaining and evolving the Infinity Commons, our shared library of frameworks, prompts, and reusable tools We’re not a dev shop.

THE ROLE We’re looking for scrappy, sharp, execution-focused engineers who thrive in high-context, high-autonomy environments. You'll be deployed on fast-moving projects—from validating ideas in one-week sprints to helping scale production tools inside early-stage companies. This is a contract-to-hire role. The first month is a paid trial at $75/hour. If there’s mutual fit, you’ll transition to a full-time or retainer-based role within the core team. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Build working prototypes of agentic AI applications, LLM workflows, and full-stack products - Experiment quickly across frameworks (e.g. LangChain https://www.langchain.com/, CrewAI https://www.crewai.io/, AutoGen), open source tools, and low-code stacks - Interface directly with product thinkers and founders to distill ambiguous ideas into testable code - Contribute to shared internal libraries and the Infinity Commons - Occasionally embed with portfolio companies to support launches or unblock execution WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR Required: - Fluency in Python and experience using AI toolkits and APIs - Experience rapidly building and iterating on proof-of-concept or MVPs - Comfort using a blend of commercial APIs, open source, and low-code tooling to get things done - Strong problem-solving skills and analytical intuition Bonus Points: - Prior work with AI agents, vector databases, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) - Experience with frontend development (React, Next.js, etc.) - A background in a STEM discipline, data science, or quant-heavy engineering - Previous experience in a venture-backed startup or technical founder role HOW WE WORK - Asynchronous by default, with tight feedback loops and clear ownership - High-trust, high-autonomy culture that values shipping, learning, and iterating - Small, elite team of senior builders with experience across AI, product, and infrastructure HOW TO APPLY Send us: - A short note in the application form on why this role fits you Links to past work, projects, or GitHub. - Availability to start the contract phase We’ll move quickly. If it feels like a fit, you’ll be coding real things with us within a week.
