I'm a back end developer with QA and DevOps experience. I'm an oldschool nerd from the era when we went and figured things out and got work done. Looking for a small company or startup that isn't a wrapper around an LLM API, and isn't pushing AI slop internally.

We're in South Austin, we prefer someone local in Austin, but not onsite. We a startup in the wellness space.

First engineering hire. You own the technical stack from day one — backend, infrastructure, database, frontend, integrations, AI pipelines. No hand-holding, no bureaucracy. You make the calls and you live with them.

We're building AI-powered personal health coaching — personalized, data-driven, built on real biomarkers: DNA, wearables, labs, food logs. The product is live with real users and significantly built out through a small AI software factory. This is not stealth mode. It's live, it's growing, and we need the engineer who wants to own the path from here to 10,000 users.
