At HeyMilo, were redefining recruiting with AI agents that interview and evaluate candidates at scale. Our mission is to create intelligent, reliable interview experiences that meet enterprise-level demands.

Were looking for a Senior Software Engineer with strong React and Python/FastApi expertise to help us build and scale our platform. This is a hands-on role where you'll own end-to-end features, ship quickly, and collaborate closely with the team.

Who You Are

  • Frontend Wizard: Design, build, and optimize user-facing interfaces with a focus on performance, scalability, and exceptional user experience.
  • API Alchemist: Build scalable endpoints and services in Python and FastAPI.
  • Infra Savvy: Experienced with AWS, Docker, Lambdas, and Microservices.
  • AI Curious: Familiarity with LLMs, Prompt engineering and AI workflows.
  • Data Processing Pro: Proficient with Redis, queues, and asynchronous jobs that process large volumes of data.
  • Observability-Minded: Prioritize metrics, logging, and alerts.
  • Startup Ready: Hands-on, adaptable, thrives in rapid-growth environments.


What You'll Do

  • Build exceptional and well optimized user interfaces that are fast and reliable.
  • Develop scalable APIs using FastAPI, integrating AI services.
  • Optimizing performance of MongoDB and ClickHouse queries for real-time usage.
  • Build LLM evaluation pipelines and inference engines.
  • Manage data infrastructure with ClickHouse, Redis, MongoDB.
  • Implement monitoring and observability tools (InfluxDB, PostHog).
  • Automate deployment and infrastructure with Docker/Kubernetes.
  • Enhance job queue architecture with Airflow and async workers.


Some work that was shipped by our talented engineers recently:

  • Detecting if a candidate is cheating during interviews.
  • Reducing analysis time from 5 minutes to 20 seconds post-interview.
  • Leverage message queues to scale Agentic AI platform to support 1000+ concurrent interviews.
