At Artisan, we're on a mission to create the most advanced human-like digital workers, called Artisans, and the software operating system for startups across verticals. We're starting with sales through our Artisan Sales platform and Ava, The Sales Rep Artisan.

Our first Artisan, Ava, is a BDR who automates the entire outbound sales process and can be set up with a 10-minute conversation. Ava creates the user's ICP, prospects with her database of over 270M contacts, does lead research, crafts & sends highly bespoke email sequences, and books meetings into sales reps' calendars.

We recently launched Artisan Labs, our research lab where we're pioneering the foundational technologies required to create human-like digital workers.

This is the next Industrial Revolution.

Artisan is seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to become part of our rapidly expanding team. We're creating the most advanced AI employees on the market and exceptional software products for them and human teams to use, starting with sales and rapidly expanding into other verticals. We were a part of the Y Combinator W24 batch, have raised over $7M in seed capital, and are relentlessly working to become the market leader in this space and build the future of work and software.

If you pursue excellence in your work, thrive in fast-paced settings and are an extraordinarily talented backend engineer with a strong educational and career background, we would love to hear from you!
