About Tavily
We're building the infrastructure layer for agentic web interaction at scale. Our API is designed from the ground up to power Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and real-time reasoning in AI systems. By connecting LLMs to high-quality, trustworthy web content, we help developers build agents that are not only intelligent - but also informed.
We work with some of the most innovative teams in AI - from small startups shaping the ecosystem to the largest enterprises deploying AI at scale. Whether it’s powering sales assistants, research copilots, or internal knowledge tools, we’re the missing link between LLMs and the real world.
The Role: Software Engineer
We’re looking for a Software Engineer to join our core engineering team and help build the infrastructure that powers real-time AI agents. You’ll work across the stack, ship fast, and take ownership of critical systems as we scale.
This is a great role for a generalist who loves building from scratch, thrives in low-process environments, and wants to work on technically ambitious problems.
What You'll Do
Be the expert in building fast, reliable, and scalable systems for real-time LLM workflows
Design and implement backend infrastructure and API endpoints
Collaborate closely with product to iterate on features quickly and thoughtfully
Improve performance, monitoring, and reliability across the stack
Own core systems and contribute to key architectural decisions
Help shape a strong engineering culture focused on velocity and quality
What You Bring
2–5 years of professional front-end engineering experience
Strong proficiency in TypeScript and React
Experience building and maintaining applications in Next.js
Deep understanding of component-driven architecture and scalable UI systems
Strong product intuition and attention to detail
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment with high ownership
Based in NYC or open to relocating
Nice To Have
Experience integrating authentication systems (Auth0 or similar) and implementing RBAC
Experience working with MongoDB, Snowflake, or analytics-heavy applications
Familiarity with Stripe billing flows and subscription management
Experience with cookie consent or compliance tooling (e.g., OneTrust)
Interest in LLM-powered products, developer platforms, or agentic AI systems
