About Dreambase 💭
We're completely reimagining product analytics by flipping the entire industry approach upside down. While everyone else forces you through the painful dance of data extraction, transformation, expensive tooling, and armies of data engineers just to understand your users, we start where your data already lives: your Postgres product database. From there, we build up and out, connecting database records to event streams to behavioral patterns to research insights to your actual codebase in one unified system that eliminates the traditional pipeline nightmare and puts real product intelligence directly in your hands.
Your mission
As our Founding AI Engineer, you'll architect the revolution that makes product analytics finally work the way it should have from the beginning. You'll design AI systems that understand your product at every level, from database schemas to user behaviors to code changes, building the intelligence layer that turns what used to require specialized teams and months of complex setup into something any product manager can use intuitively. This isn't just joining a startup; you're leading the technical charge to eliminate the broken status quo and create a fundamentally better way for product teams to understand and optimize their products.
What you'll do
Pioneer AI-Native Analytics: We're setting out to change how analytics are done with AI, not just make iterative improvements
Contextual Architecture: Design systems and platforms for scoping and managing context from multiple data sources
AI Agent Development: Build groundbreaking analytical agentic workflows and autonomous AI agents
Application Development: Design and execute several client interfaces, various APIs, and the application database
Performance Optimization: Optimize for speed, security, reliability, and cost-effectiveness without compromising quality
Rapid Iteration: Constantly adapt to the ever-changing world of developing AI software where things can change daily
What we're looking for
Technical Chops: You've built production-grade AI applications with LLMs, RAG, and vector databases
AI Obsession: You test each model from each provider to stay on top of the strengths, weaknesses, and use case of every LLM
Ownership Mindset: You thrive with ambiguity, move fast, and find ways through walls instead of waiting for doors
Full-Stack Skills: You're seasoned in React, Next.js, TypeScript, Python, Postgres, Supabase, and modern technologies
Problem-Solving Superpower: You can tackle any technical challenge and find elegant solutions in uncharted territory
Systems Thinking: You understand what makes applications scalable and how to build architectures that last
Speed and Learning: You ship fast, learn from what you build, and iterate quickly to make it better
Collaborative Spirit: You communicate clearly and work effectively with both technical and non-technical teammates
Bonus points for
Experience with fine-tuning LLMs or developing custom AI model architectures
Contributions to open-source AI projects or frameworks
Experience scaling secure, compliant applications for the enterprise
Data Engineer, Data Scientist and/or Data Analyst experience
Non-technical product leadership at a startup
Tools & tech you're probably already using
