Careers at Massif.
Massif AI Inc · last updated 25 August 2026
Massif is a two-person company in Vancouver, British Columbia, building the hiring marketplace we wished existed: employers get an evidence-backed shortlist instead of a resume pile, candidates get roles that can actually sponsor them, and the immigration work is owned end-to-end by a licensed consultant. We are remote-first and we ship to production every day.
Open roles
Founding Engineer
Remote · Full-time · Open
You would be the first engineer after the founders, and the work is the whole stack rather than a slice of it.
- The API and worker (Python, FastAPI) behind app.massif-ai.com — employer, candidate, and immigration surfaces.
- Postgres with row-level security enforced on tenant tables, and a migration history that is the actual source of truth for the schema.
- An autonomous build pipeline with hard merge gates — file-surface enforcement, test-required decomposition, and a merge validator that runs hundreds of checks before anything lands.
- AI features behind a model-provider seam: assistant, candidate fit scoring, JD generation with a bias linter, matching, and a voice agent with deterministic guardrails.
- A React front end and a Capacitor iOS shell.
What we look for
- You have shipped and operated production systems, and you are comfortable owning something end to end.
- Strong Python and SQL. You reach for a database constraint before application code.
- You write the test that would have caught the bug, without being asked.
- You are direct about what you do not know.
Nice to have: experience with regulated or privacy-sensitive data, LLM application work beyond prompt-tinkering, or having built developer tooling that other people relied on.
How we work
Small, remote, and fast. Decisions get made in hours, not sprints. Tests and merge gates are not negotiable — they are what lets two people ship safely. You will have production access and the responsibility that comes with it.
Security expectations
Everyone here completes security awareness training on hire and annually, acknowledges the company policies, uses multi-factor authentication on every company account, and consents to a background check before or shortly after starting. We handle candidate personal data and immigration information; that carries real obligations and we take them seriously.
Compensation
Salary and equity are discussed openly in the first conversation and depend on experience and stage. We will not waste your time with a process before we have talked about the range.
How to apply
Apply through the product itself — app.massif-ai.com/candidate — or email founder@massif-ai.com with anything you have built that you are proud of.
How we screen
Massif uses AI-assisted screening on its own applications, the same way our customers do. A human being reads every application that reaches a decision, and a human makes every hiring decision. Protected characteristics — nationality, visa status, and related attributes — are excluded from the ranking inputs by design.
Equal opportunity
Massif AI Inc. is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, religion, family or marital status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or age. If you need an accommodation at any point in the process, tell us and we will arrange it.
