Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Awear is a stealth-mode startup building an Agentic OS. The Senior Backend Engineer will build its foundational backend infrastructure, including agent runtime and orchestration, memory and context, LLM routing, real-time communication, privacy and security, and mobile-to-wearables systems.
Responsibilities
- You'll build the backend infrastructure that powers our Agentic OS — the agent runtime, the memory and context layer, the LLM routing system, and the privacy architecture that makes all of it trustworthy
- You'll work directly with the CEO and a small, high-trust engineering team across Silicon Valley, Paris
- Agent runtime and orchestration infrastructure — session management, intent routing, tool execution
- Persistent memory and context layer — encrypted, anonymized, and privacy-compliant from day one
- LLM routing and multi-provider integration — LLM agnostic by design, supporting regional models globally
- Real-time communication systems — low-latency APIs supporting always-on contextual awareness
- Privacy and security architecture — E2E encryption built in, not bolted on
- Mobile-to-wearables infrastructure — designed to minimize cloud dependency and support edge computing as the platform evolves to hardware
