Dotmo is a frontier generative AI company building foundational models. We move fast, and the infrastructure and tooling everything else depends on is held up by a small number of people.
We’re engaging one of them. This is a generalist collaboration: you’ll design, build, and operate whatever the company needs that week — services, pipelines, internal tools, developer and research infrastructure. Range matters more here than any single specialty.
What the services entail
System design. You decide how things are put together, where the boundaries go, and what the failure modes are — before anything gets written.
Reliable systems. Things that keep working unattended, fail loudly rather than quietly, and can be restored when they don’t.
Orchestrating agents. Most of the code here is written by agents. Your responsibility is to decompose work into pieces they can do well, set the constraints they work inside, verify what comes back, and own every line that ships.
Knowing where determinism belongs. Consequential decisions stay in code you can test. Model output gets checked, not trusted.
Contractor Profile
3+ years building production software, with systems you’ve designed, shipped, and operated yourself.
Strong computer science fundamentals and coding skills — agents will code for you, but you need to know how to do it yourself.
Strong Python, SQL and data modeling, and the infrastructure around them: Docker, Kubernetes, CI, secrets, access control.
Applied LLM engineering: structured output and tool use, writing skills that make agents reliable at a task, evaluation, guardrails.
Rigorous testing: pytest, integration tests against real dependencies, and a suite you actually trust.
Comfort in unfamiliar territory — mobile, desktop, media pipelines, whatever comes up. You don’t need library-level expertise in each. You need to design it, direct agents through it, and recognize when it’s wrong.
High operational autonomy: reliable internet, power setup, and stable connectivity are preferred to ensure seamless communication (preference for candidates based in Western Ukraine or similarly stable locations).
Selection process3—4 rounds: system design, coding, data modeling, and working with agents.
