Candid | Founding Engineer | Cambridge/Boston | Onsite/Hybrid
About the Role
We're building a photo-sharing app that uses CV to automate the annoying parts of sharing photos with friends.
Stack: FastAPI, Postgres, Supabase, AWS. We have a mobile app in progress and an ML pipeline—need someone to own the backend, wire it all together, and ship.
This is a founding engineer role. You'd work directly with the CEO and our mobile engineer. High ownership, fast pace, significant equity.
Requirements
Looking for someone who's:
- Done real backend work (Python, FastAPI, whatever)
- Deployed ML/CV to prod, not just notebooks
- Knows their way around embeddings and similarity search
- Cares about privacy/security (we're handling sensitive data)
- Has shipped something real, ideally end-to-end
Bonus
- Mobile integrations experience
- Experience as an early engineer
Location
Cambridge/Boston based. Prefer onsite but hybrid works if you can hit the ground running.
