Join Edra: Pioneering Solutions in Enterprise AI
At Edra, we're tackling one of the most challenging issues in enterprise AI: while AI models are inherently generic, company processes are uniquely specific. Our mission is to develop AI agents that comprehend how these processes operate and effectively manage their tasks.
As a Series A startup, we are proudly supported by Sequoia and other prestigious venture capital firms. With our teams expanding in New York and London, we are a highly technical group comprising engineers, AI researchers, and strategists who all uphold a rigorous standard for talent. We believe that exceptional individuals are the cornerstone of our future success.
Your Role
We seek dedicated Backend Engineers who are passionate about the art of software development. Your focus will be on implementing strong typing, thoughtful API design, and robust data modeling. You will not be developing AI models; instead, you will construct the surrounding ecosystem: the platform, workflows, interfaces, integrations, and observability that render our AI applicable in real-world scenarios. As one of the early engineers at Edra, you will have the opportunity to influence not only the product but also the engineering culture, tooling decisions, and technical frameworks upon which our company is built.
Our approach is intentional and thorough. There is no distinction between 'building it' and 'shipping it'—you will oversee the journey from conceptualization to deployment, taking full ownership of your outcomes. We prioritize thoughtful development over speed, striving for a balance between velocity and quality.
Key Responsibilities
Design and implement platform systems utilizing Python (FastAPI), including API contracts, database schemas, and infrastructure
Develop and sustain connectors, integrations, and data pipelines that link our platform to external systems
Create internal libraries, tools, and interfaces that enhance the productivity of the engineering team
Take full ownership of your work by gathering context, managing dependencies, and driving tasks to completion independently
Engage in multiple roles across the stack—design a schema in the morning, develop the API layer in the afternoon, and troubleshoot a deployment issue by day’s end
Participate in weekly product meetings, understand user interactions with your creations, and help shape future developments
Collaborate daily with a small, elite team of engineers and AI specialists
Have a direct impact on the technical direction: select tools, establish patterns, and define conventions for the team
