About the role

We are seeking a Founding Engineer based in Australia, with flexibility for fully remote work. As a founding team member, you work with our team to architect, design, and develop software solutions that comprise Voltaire’s AI-powered platform. You will be instrumental in supporting the technical vision of the company and building a robust product to help legal teams deliver greater access to justice.

What you'll be doing

- Own our AWS infrastructure (ECS/Fargate, ECR, IAM) and CI/CD (GitHub Actions), including introducing infrastructure-as-code so our setup is reproducible and auditable
- Build out staging environments, monitoring, logging, and incident response
- Lead a security review of our data handling, access controls, and secrets management
- Contribute directly to our Node.js/Hono backend and Supabase data layer alongside infra work




- Collaborate on integrating AI/LLM features (Anthropic SDK) into a platform built to support them reliably

What we're looking for

- You have 2+ years engineering strong systems/infrastructure fundamentals: AWS, CI/CD, containerization (Docker), infra-as-code
- You are comfortable also writing production backend code (Node.js/TypeScript), not infra-only
- You are a problem solver who works autonomously, takes ownership, and can explain architectural tradeoffs independently
- You have long-term thinking about infrastructure and security, especially around sensitive data
- Bonus: You have experience integrating AI/LLM applications into production systems

What's in it for you

- Founding team equity
- The opportunity to build a high-impact product in its infancy
- Direct influence over the company’s product, technology strategy, and future direction
- Mission-driven and fast-moving workplace
- Flexible fully remote work
