Role
Who you are
- 6–10 years in a software engineering individual contributor role
- BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science (or related field) or equivalent experience
- Proven record of delivering large-scale, resilient enterprise applications
- AI development & LLM frameworks: Hands-on experience (or strong interest) in working with LLMs through prompt engineering, LangChain / LangGraph (or similar agentic libraries), integrating LLM-based reasoning, RAG, vector embeddings, and designing and implementing knowledge graphs
- Backend tech: Python, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, neo4j

- Responsive/adaptive design, deep understanding of HTTP, WebSockets & browser APIs
- AWS, Kubernetes, Skaffold, OpenTelemetry, CI/CD, Auth (SAML, OIDC, OAuth2.0)

- Passionate About AI: You embrace emerging technologies and push the boundaries of agentic experiences
- Clear Communicator: You articulate strategies and informed opinions clearly, with solid rationale. You also understand the value of listening
- Excellent Collaborator: Nothing at Vivun is someone else’s problem. You work across roles and departments to achieve company goals
- Technical Visionary: You own features from idea to production—visualizing, designing, and implementing robust systems. You quickly diagnose and resolve complex issues, and know how to build for performance and scale
- Product-Obsessed: You deeply understand customers’ needs and create intuitive, powerful products—never settling for “good enough.”
- Creative and Systematic: You thrive in ambiguity, combining creativity with rigorous thinking to build clarity and consensus around the best solutions
- Tenacious Problem Solver: You tackle tough challenges head-on, using a methodical approach to uncover what’s happening and how to fix it
- Growth Mindset: You’re a lifelong learner who views each challenge as an opportunity for professional and personal growth
- Ownership: You take initiative, celebrate progress, and go the extra mile for your peers. You care about both the big picture and the details
What the job involves
- Our Full-Stack Engineers are responsible for turning product ideas into reality
- Ou will collaborate with our CEO, CTO, Product Managers, and fellow engineers to architect, build, test, deliver, and refine the next generation of Vivun’s agentic products
- You will own end-to-end product experiences, iterating on features from data acquisition and transformation all the way through user interactions
- You will develop multi-step, LLM-based workflows that incorporate structured logic, memory, and context from various data sources. You will collaborate with UI/UX designers on the nuances of agentic UX
- You must be comfortable with ambiguity in a highly dynamic agentic/LLM development space, and be able to apply your daily learnings to deliver groundbreaking product features
- You will be expected to deeply understand our customers’ needs and partner with internal stakeholders to craft and validate new product hypotheses
- You will author contributions that can be safely and automatically promoted from development to production, in close partnership with quality assurance & site reliability engineers
- Your services and applications must be production grade - instrumented with logging, tracing, and metrics to ensure they are diagnosable and continuously monitored
Our take
Thus far, the pre-sales teams of businesses have had no tool through which to track their interactions with the customers, and that's the problem that Vivun is solving. They provide software that allows pre-sales teams to gather customer information, and then collate the information and send it to the rest of the business, so that the sales team, product team, and executive staff have more information about their customers.
This empowers businesses to look at what their customers' needs are now and going forward. Vivun is the first to provide such tools and despite only being launched in 2018, it is already working with brands such as SignalFx, Dell Secureworks, and Harness.
Customers include Autodesk, Cloudera, Snowflake, Crowdstrike, Dell, and Harness. Going forward, Vivun is likely to face other competitors, and the space will become more crowded. However, an increasing number of businesses are realizing there is a problem with the disconnection between pre-sales and the rest of the company. Vivun received impressive Series C funding in 2022 which is being used to expand into EMEA territories.
