Lead Fullstack Engineer

Descrição da empresa

Sierra is an AI engineering studio and startup incubator. We build products for customers and launch new
companies.
We are a fast growing company sustained by its own profits, not VC hype and cash. Sierra was founded in 2021 by the former founders and core R&D team of a technology company in the US.

Sierra’s mission is to support founders and business leaders on their hero's journey, starting from a bold idea, through real challenges, to a successful product. LLMs have massive potential to transform the world, but
many organizations don’t know where to start.

Our goal is to guide them along the path to an AI-first future while respecting the human experience.

Sierra Studio is based in Los Angeles, but we’re a fully remote company. We have teammates working from São Paulo, Vitória, Belo Horizonte, Florianópolis, and many other cities.
Once a year, we come together for a week-long offsite to reconnect, eat amazing food, and vibe code crazy ideas in hackathons.
