Domain : AR / 3D room scanning, AI layout generation, shoppable design
Company : Livinit, Inc. , US-based Startup (remote team)
Engagement : Full-time (EOR / contract-to-hire possible)
Time zone overlap : ~4 hours with US core hours (flexible)
About the product
We’re building an iOS-first experience that lets users scan a room , generate architect-grade layouts with AI, and see a shoppable design (real products, live links, prices) that obeys practical rules (clear walkways, door swings, window constraints, budget guardrails). Think of it as an interior designer + architect + personal shopper—end-to-end.
Role Overview
You will :
- Own the backend & web stack end-to-end : APIs, services, data models, admin tools, deployment, and observability.
- Partner closely with iOS / AR and ML / 3D engineers to turn prototypes into robust, measurable features.
- Ship incrementally toward our Alpha : fast iterations, measured by P50 / P95 timings, reliability, and shoppability.
- Set engineering standards (testing, security, privacy, logging, CI) appropriate for user data and partner catalogs.
This is a hands-on builder role. You’ll write code daily, make pragmatic architectural decisions, and help hire the next engineers in India.
