About Anvil
Anvil is the SEO platform for the LLM era. As search shifts from Google to tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity, we help brands stay visible and drive leads in AI-native search. We’re a seed-stage startup based in NYC, backed by top investors and building fast at the frontier of AI and search.

The Role
We’re hiring a Backend-Focused Software Engineer to join our founding product team. You’ll work directly with the founders (ex-Google, YC) and build infrastructure powering AI visibility, LLM analytics, and distributed systems. As an early engineer, you’ll have significant influence — on architecture, company culture, and how we tell our story. There is a lot to build in a short amount of time, expect intense schedule.

What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field (top CS programs preferred)
  • 1–2 years of experience at a Big Tech company or Series B+ startup
  • Strong CS fundamentals, with hands-on experience in multithreaded backend systems
  • Experience with Java and TypeScript
  • Must have: experience with data pipelines — Airflow, Kafka, Redis queues, MySQL (or similar)
  • High standards for code quality and reliability
  • Bias toward shipping and iterating quickly in a startup environment

Nice to Have
  • Familiarity with Spring Boot
  • Interest in AI, LLMs, or search infrastructure

What You’ll Get
  • $130,000–$150,000 base salary + equity
  • health/dental/vision insurance
  • International company offsite
  • 3 weeks remote per year
  • Mentorship from ex-Google founders
  • Major say in shaping the engineering culture, narrative, and product direction

Logistics
  • Hybrid, 3 days a week on-site
