The role
As an early engineering hire, your ideas & code will form a core part of our future technology.
You'll be wearing many hats; owning features all the way from the initial idea, through design and implementation to long-term customer support.
Our tech stack is built on Rust and Postgres.
We use AI coding tools to help us move fast, but always emphasise human understanding and craftsmanship in critical parts of the codebase.
Indices has a small and effective team, and you'll be working closely with the founders and other engineers on a daily basis.
- Representative projects
- Design a hardened sandboxed runtime with minimal latency overheads, safe credential injection, audit trails, and multi-tenant isolation.
- Add comprehensive tracing and telemetry to a highly distributed system with multiple layers of sandboxing.
- Work on a generation system that can handle the diversity and complexity of the web.
- Design a user-facing CLI tool, obsessing over onboarding, developer experience, and tinkering to make it optimally work with popular coding agents.
- Assist our customers in a forward deployed role, helping integrate Indices into their systems.
You might be a fit if you...
- Are comfortable going deep on something unfamiliar in a self-led way.
- Have high agency and can wear many hats, operate across the stack, navigate ambiguity, and own projects end-to-end.
- Have strong software engineering skills and are proficient in at least one backend language (we use Rust, but others are acceptable).
- Pick up slack, even if it goes outside your job description.
Bonus points for any of...
- Security, sandboxing, or systems programming.
- Building coding agents and their harnesses.
- Competitive salary + equity.
- Flexible paid time off and absence policies.
- Visa and relocation support.
