Job description

## **About Architect Labs** Architect is a frontier AI lab for custom silicon. We partner with frontier labs, clouds / neoclouds, physical AI companies, and advanced fabs to tape-out custom chips co-designed for next-generation AI workloads. Our goal is to compress end-to-end software to silicon timelines, and maximize intelligence per watt and per dollar for the world. We are a small exceptional team across silicon, systems, software and frontier AI. Our team have led research teams at nearly every frontier AI lab, and at some of the most complex SoCs in the world. ## **What You’ll Do** As Member of the Technical Staff - Software at Architect, you’ll build the core platform that powers AI-driven chip design. You’ll own the full stack, developing intuitive, high-performance systems using TypeScript, Python, and modern frameworks, while integrating cutting-edge AI features and models in collaboration with our ML team. This is a foundational engineering role where you’ll design the architecture for the platform, and build seamless interfaces for chip engineers to interact with intelligent agents. You’ll shape the developer experience end-to-end—from indexing massive codebases to building scalable databases—and make critical technical decisions that define the product. Expect to ship fast, iterate daily, and leave your fingerprints on every layer of a system redefining how hardware gets built. ## **What We’d Like to See** - **Education:** BS/MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics or a related field. - **Core Skills:** Proficiency in TypeScript, Python, & C++ and extensive full-stack experience. - **Technical Experience:** Strong full-stack / backend experience, designing RESTful APIs, working with relational or NoSQL databases. Familiarity with frontend component libraries and state management patterns. As well as experience developing AI coding agents.
