Lead Developer — Llama Naturals (Remote)
We are hiring a lead developer to own and grow our internal platform.
Llama Naturals is a growing consumer brand. We built an internal platform that combines AI-powered chat, a knowledge base, automated workflows, a live data warehouse with KPI dashboards, content validation, and team integrations. It is live and used daily.
We have a strong product vision and a clear roadmap. What we need is a smart, adaptable developer who can execute — someone who can take direction from the founder and turn priorities into shipped software. You do not need to be a machine learning researcher, but you do need to be an expert at using AI coding tools. Claude Code is our primary development workflow, and you should already use it (or similar tools) daily on real work. Strong general understanding of how modern AI systems work is required.
What you will do:
* Ship production features across the full stack (Python, TypeScript/React, SQL)
* Build and extend features using AI-assisted development tools
* Maintain data pipelines and analytics layers
* Own infrastructure, deployment, monitoring, and reliability
* Work directly with the founder to turn business needs into working software
What we are looking for:
* Engineering degree and solid programming fundamentals
* Comfortable with Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, and SQL
* Experience building or maintaining production web applications
* Expert with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) — daily user, not a beginner
* Strong working understanding of how modern AI tools and LLMs actually work
* Self-directed, resourceful, and a fast learner
* Professional English proficiency (written and spoken)
Nice to have: React/Next.Js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, data pipelines, cloud deployment, AI/LLM API experience
This is the first dedicated engineering hire for the platform. You will be the technical owner, not a cog in a team. Remote, real autonomy, real ownership.
If you are a smart developer who learns fast and wants to own a production system at a fast-moving company, we want to talk.
