Full description
Helium is building Self-Improving Software: AI that automatically generates & tests new software experiences to lift revenue. We’re…
•
Talent-dense (8 people, 6 engineers, 75% ex-founders)
•
Well-funded ($6M from Google & Leaders from OpenAI)
•
Fast-growing (Serving tens of millions of AI experiences per day for top consumer companies).
AI has created a once-in-history opportunity, and we’re here to win, because of that…
• 🔴 We work hard — In-Office Monday–Friday + often push through weekends 🔴
What You’ll Do
You’ll own big chunks of our AI Experience Generation product serving millions of users per day, including…
• Adding new features to the front-end Next.js application and deploying scalable Golang code that serves thousands of requests each second globally.
• Tune/Optimize/Load test our servers as we 10x our growth from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of users per day.
• Designing data systems and ML training infrastructure that power automated experimentation at scale.
• Work directly with founders and customers to design, implement, and deliver the best experiences!
• Wearing a lot more hats than listed above 👷.
What We’re Looking For
• Keen problem solving skills: you are able to cut down ambiguous problems down to first principles and deliver a working solution.
• Strong programming/full-stack foundation: You’re comfortable working on both backend code as well as frontend React code.
• Experience working directly on user-facing products: you are able to figure out and understand what the user needs, including talking to customers
• Stellar cross-functional communication skills: you are able to adapt to our ways of working and be an efficient/effective communicator.
• Owning features end to end: you’ll write your own PRDs/quick specs when necessary, and you test your features end to end to make sure they work and satisfy the requirements
• Experience scoping, designing, and running complex multi-engineer projects
• Experience managing or mentoring engineers before
Nice To Haves
• Experience with ML/AI/LLM integration in applications
• Experience building scalable backend systems with very demanding SLAs
• Background working with design tools, chat experiences, or vibe coding tools
• Previous experience founding or working at a high-growth startup
Reasons This Role Might Not Be A Fit
• You want to work 9-5
• You avoid Cursor or AI coding tools.
• You can only operate on well-written specs, or feel uncomfortable designing new experiences from scratch.
• You don’t want to talk to customers.
Our stack:
• Next.js (React/Typescript), Zustand
• AI (vercel) SDK
• Tailwind/Shadcn
• Supabase
• Clickhouse
• Golang/Fly.io
• Mobile: Swift, Flutter, Expo, Android
Requires Bachelors degree or higher in Computer Science or similar fields.
