About the Role

We’re an early-stage startup building a mobile-first, geo-centric platform for real-world collaboration. Our MVP is already underway with strong backend and iOS foundations. The next critical step is making sure we capture, structure, and analyze our data effectively , while also exploring AI-driven optimization for matching, trust, and personalization.

We’re looking for a Data/AI Engineer who can own everything from data pipelines and BI dashboards to ML prototyping and optimization algorithms . This is a high-autonomy, high-impact role for someone who loves working across data, product, and AI.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and maintain data pipelines from backend systems (Postgres, Redis, Firebase) into analytics and reporting layers.
  • Build dashboards and reports (Metabase, Looker, Tableau, or similar) to monitor platform KPIs such as performance, efficiency, and user engagement.
  • Model and optimize geospatial queries (PostGIS, Redis GEO) to support location-based functionality at scale.
  • Prototype AI/ML algorithms for:
  • Ranking and prioritization tasks
  • Route optimization and efficiency scoring
  • Trust scoring, anomaly detection, and risk modeling
  • Collaborate with the backend team to instrument APIs for analytics and ML-ready data collection.
  • Document findings, experiments, and recommendations to guide product and technical decisions .
  • Help establish the groundwork for future ML pipelines (training, deployment, monitoring).

You’re a Great Fit If You:

  • Have 5+ years of experience in data engineering, BI, or applied machine learning.
  • Strong in SQL/Postgres (ideally with PostGIS), data modeling, and pipelines.
  • Comfortable with Redis and real-time event systems.
  • Hands-on with Python (Pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow) .
  • Able to build quick dashboards (Metabase, Looker, Power BI, or Firebase Analytics).
  • Familiar with routing/geospatial data or excited to learn.
  • Understand ranking/recommendation models and event-driven architecture.
  • Thrive in a startup environment : independent, resourceful, execution-focused.

Compensation

  • First 3 months: Unpaid, flexible contributor role (mentorship-driven).
  • After 3 months: Equity-based role, based on performance and contribution.
  • Future: Salary + equity once funding/revenue milestones are achieved.

Why Join?

  • Be the first data/AI engineer on the team — own data strategy end to end.
  • Influence the product roadmap with data-driven insights and ML prototypes .
  • Build a real-world system where your work directly impacts people’s lives.
  • Work fully remote, async, outcome-driven .
  • Gain equity and long-term upside in a purpose-driven company.

How to Apply

Send your GitHub/portfolio/LinkedIn and a short note about your experience with data + AI. If you have past projects related to geospatial data, matching, or optimization, we’d love to see them.
