Job Description

Why this matters

Hiring remains slow, manual, and biased, even in 2025. Octopyd is changing that.

We’re building AI-native systems that source, evaluate, and engage talent automatically, giving recruiters “super-powers” and giving candidates a fairer shot. The software you build will sit at the heart of this transformation: orchestrating large-scale LLM pipelines, real-time ranking engines, and delightful recruiter workflows that make filling a role 10× faster.

What you’ll do (if you lean backend )

  • Architect cloud-native services that connect LLM evaluation engines, ATS integrations, and high-throughput data pipelines.
  • Design distributed systems that score millions of résumés in minutes with high availability, low latency, and strict privacy controls.
  • Build streaming and batch pipelines for candidate data, interview events, and outreach metrics.
  • Own infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD so experiments ship to production safely and often.

What you’ll do (if you lean frontend )

  • Craft a next-generation recruiter workspace—think “Figma meets ATS”—using modern TypeScript and open-source frameworks.
  • Visualize deep candidate insights (skill graphs, interview scores, diversity metrics) in snappy, interactive UIs.
  • Collaborate closely with backend and ML teams to surface AI recommendations in real time.
  • Push the limits of browser performance to keep power users in flow.

What you bring

  • 3+ years of professional software development, with deep expertise in either backend or frontend.
  • A record of shipping production systems at scale—focused on performance, resilience, and usability.
  • Strong coding skills in languages that fit your stack (Go or Python on the backend; TypeScript/React on the frontend).
  • A collaborative mindset and the curiosity to work across product, ML, and design.
  • A passion for building tools that make other people wildly more effective.

Bonus points

  • Experience with recruiting/HCM, ATS integrations, or HR analytics.
  • Hands-on knowledge of LLM fine-tuning or retrieval-augmented generation.
  • Background in high-volume data processing, event-driven architectures, or graph databases.
  • Prior success scaling engineering teams in a startup environment.
  • Clear, concise technical writing and diagramming chops.

What it’s like here

Octopyd is a fast-moving, high-trust AI startup. You’ll partner with top engineers, data scientists, and talent-ops experts to solve hard problems at the intersection of cloud, ML, and human workflows. We value ownership, rapid experimentation, and a “bring the data” mindset. If you’re excited to reinvent how the world hires, you’ll feel right at home.

Logistics

  • Location: Hybrid hubs in Bay Area, CA (US), three days in-office, two days remote. Fully-remote option within US for exceptional candidates.
  • Visa sponsorship: We welcome H-1B transfers and other employment-based visas.

How to apply

Don’t meet every single requirement? Feel over-qualified? No problem—if our mission energizes you, we want to hear from you. Octopyd is growing fast and needs world-class engineers at many experience levels. Apply with your résumé, GitHub (or equivalent), and a brief note on which path—backend, frontend, or both—gets you fired up.
