## Job description

Who We Are:

We build infrastructure that delivers massive amounts of web data to the companies training the world’s most powerful AI models.

We're the team that helps to power and support Grass, a bandwidth-sharing network that lets us operate a massive distributed crawler, giving us unique access to high-quality public web data at global scale. On top of that, we’ve built pipelines for ingesting, segmenting, and annotating billions of videos, transcripts, and audio files, powering dataset creation for frontier labs.

We’re lean, technical, and move fast. No red tape, no slow decision-making; just a team of builders pushing to expand what’s possible for open web data and AI.

The Role:

We're looking for an early-career software engineer to help review our applications and ensure they meet compliance requirements before release. You'll be trusted to investigate application behavior independently, exercise sound judgment when identifying potential compliance issues, and take ownership of problems from discovery through resolution.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, quality assurance, and compliance validation. You'll review product changes, investigate application behavior, identify potential compliance issues, document findings clearly, and work closely with engineering and operations teams to drive issues through resolution and verify that they’ve been properly addressed before deployment.

Please Note: This role requires a work schedule that overlaps sufficiently with EST business hours (online until 3:00 p.m. EST) to collaborate effectively with the team.

Who You Are:

- You have hands-on programming experience with Rust and/or Java — even if limited.
- You're a fast learner who can pick up unfamiliar systems, applications, and requirements quickly.
- You have strong analytical instincts — you naturally notice inconsistencies and dig until you understand why something behaves the way it does.
- You communicate findings clearly and professionally, both in writing and in conversation.
- You take ownership: once you're given a problem, you see it through rather than waiting for direction at every step.
- You're comfortable with ambiguity and change — you don't need a fixed checklist to know what to investigate next.
- You enjoy working closely with engineering, product, and operations, and you don't need a narrowly defined lane to be effective.

What You'll Be Doing:

- Review applications before release to ensure they meet defined requirements and identify potential compliance issues.
- Understand and investigate application behavior in order to identify technical or compliance-related problems.
- Validate application changes and document findings clearly.
- Provide actionable feedback and communicate issues effectively to engineering and operations teams.
- Work with engineers to understand and resolve identified issues.
- Verify that issues have been properly addressed before release.
- Maintain review documentation and contribute to improving internal review processes.
- Help improve and, where appropriate, automate validation and QA workflows.

What We Are Looking For:

- Develop a deeper understanding of our applications and systems over time and take increasing ownership of the review process.
- Help ensure a consistent, high-quality release process across products.
- Programming experience in Rust and/or Java (early-career level is fine — we care more about how quickly you learn and think through problems).
- Experience in a startup or small engineering team, particularly where you had broad responsibilities.
- Exposure to QA, testing, product validation, compliance, or security.
- Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
- Ability to manage multiple reviews or tasks in parallel without losing track of details.

Why Work With Us:

- Opportunity. We are at the forefront of developing a web-scale crawler and knowledge graph that improves access to public web data and extends the value of AI to the people.
- Culture. We're a lean team with a high bar. We come to work not to be comfortable, but to find out what we're capable of and to do work that matters. We're not calling for people who keep things moving. We're calling for people who make everyone around them better. We prioritize low ego and high output. This is a fully remote team.
- Compensation. You’ll receive a competitive salary, benefits and equity package.
