About Swades AI
We're a YC-backed venture studio building and scaling AI-native startups from zero. Three of our companies are already profitable. We move fast, stay lean, and give our engineers real ownership over systems that matter.
This isn't a typical backend role. You'll work across multiple ventures — shipping production infrastructure one week, designing an AI pipeline the next.
The Role
We're looking for a backend developer who's genuinely excited about Bun — not just familiar with it, but building with it by choice. You'll own backend services across our portfolio: APIs, background job systems, webhooks, integrations, and the infrastructure glue that keeps everything running.
What You'll Do
- Build and maintain production APIs using Bun + Hono
- Design and operate background job systems (BullMQ, Inngest, Trigger.dev, or Temporal)
- Integrate third-party APIs and webhooks across multiple ventures
- Own the full lifecycle of services — from schema design to deployment on GCP / Cloud Run
- Write type-safe, schema-validated code using Zod and tRPC
- Work alongside AI tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, agentic workflows) as a first-class part of your workflow
You're a Fit If
- You have 2+ years of production backend experience
- You've shipped real things with Bun — not just ran a toy server
- You're comfortable with TypeScript, Zod, and tRPC end-to-end
- You've built or operated background job pipelines in production
- You default to simplicity, move fast, and don't need a lot of hand-holding
- You've used AI coding tools seriously (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) — not occasionally
Bonus
- Experience with Cloudflare Workers or Workers-compatible runtimes
- Familiarity with GCP (Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Secret Manager)
- Prior startup or studio experience
What We Offer
- Competitive salary
- Remote-first with quarterly in-person meetups
- Annual performance appraisals up to 20%
- Real ownership — not a ticket queue
