Founding Engineer — Full Stack (Backend + Ai / Infrastructur …, Beverly Hills

About the Role
Scivora is building a new category in emotional performance intelligence.
Our early users—actors, performers, speakers, and founders—rehearse live on camera and receive real-time multimodal feedback on clarity, emotional delivery, presence, and communication patterns.
We are hiring
one of two Founding Full-Stack Engineers
, with this role leaning deeply into
backend architecture, AI pipelines, native iOS-integrated real-time systems, and infrastructure scalability
.
You will build the
core intelligence layer and technical backbone
that powers the entire Scivora platform.
This is
not a task-execution role
.
This is a
founding technical partner role
for an engineer who wants ownership, range, and the opportunity to architect a category-defining product from day zero and grow into long-term technical leadership.

Implement
model routing, inference orchestration, and LLM-powered analysis
Design and optimize the
emotional performance scoring engine
(fusion models, scenario evaluation, context-aware feedback)
Own
database modeling, authentication, user state, and session lifecycle management
Build
secure, high-performance camera video ingestion and processing flows
for live rehearsal
Optimize
real-time emotional feedback rendering performance
across mobile and network layers
Establish
observability, monitoring, performance tuning, and system reliability
Deploy and manage infrastructure using
Kubernetes, Terraform, or equivalent IaC tools
Full-Stack Mobile Responsibilities (Secondary but Required)
Support
native iOS frontend engineering
for UX/UI
Build internal dashboards and early user-facing tools

PyTorch, transformers, computer vision, and audio pipelines
Strong
real-time systems experience
(WebRTC, WebSockets, low-latency streaming)
Deep
AWS or GCP cloud architecture
experience
Strong understanding of
camera systems, video pipelines, and mobile performance constraints
Proven ability to translate ambiguous founder vision into
scalable, production-ready systems
Who You Are
A
founder-minded engineer
who wants to build the core engine of a new category
Equally comfortable moving fast in v1 and architecting for long-term scale
Fluent in
technical reasoning and product trade-offs
Low-ego, high-range, resilient, and highly communicative
Motivated to grow into
long-term technical leadership
based on performance and fit
Compensation & Growth
Initial engagement will begin as a paid contract
, structured to validate technical and team fit
Full-time salary will transition in
once both sides confirm long-term alignment and production stability
Equity is offered as RSUs (Restricted Stock Units)
