About Tezi
Tezi is building an Autonomous AI trained by top hiring managers and recruiters to lead the end-to-end recruiting process. Our AI proactively sources candidates, screens applicants, schedules interviews, collects scorecards, and never drops the ball. We believe in saving the uniquely human work (selling, evaluating, and closing) for the humans and leveraging AI for the rest.
To learn more about our journey, check out our $9M Seed round announcement post, explainer video, and recent VentureBeat coverage. Our customers range from Pre-Seed startups in stealth to $4B+ pre-IPO tech companies and everything in-between.
How we work
- Meticulously designed: A founding team who has collectively hired 500+ employees designed every interaction along the entire hiring journey.
- Committed to calm: We work smart and hard, but chaos, thrash, and drama are inefficient and slow.
- We’re all grown ups: We all like to operate in a culture of trust, freedom, responsibility, and autonomy. That requires us to act like mature, wise adults in all matters.
- Judgment, over process: We don’t have the time and can’t afford unnecessary processes. Unless it helps us build faster, less process is better.
- The best ideas win: We encourage critical thinking, dissent, and candor. The right answer needs to win out over whoever’s just loud, vocal, powerful, or charming.
About the role
As a Backend Engineer at Tezi, you’ll join a small team of top-notch engineers that build the Tezi product and tech stack. We like to operate lean, so we hire senior, self-sufficient engineers who can each own and deliver a big chunk of the product experience or underlying AI, software, or data technology that makes Tezi work. You’ll not only write code but also participate in thinking about the product’s design, interact with customers, and project manage your own work.
Our system uses agentic AI technology powered by dozens of specialized agents, each trained to do one recruiting task very well, seamlessly orchestrated to deliver the experience of interacting with one AI recruiter. Surrounding the AI agents is a lot of software that makes the end-to-end system work and delivers a thoughtfully designed experience for our users (employers and candidates). We use Python for backend and React/TypeScript for frontend. The tech stack is all hosted on a public cloud.
