About the role

Leoforce is seeking a Founding Software Engineer in the United States. You will build foundational backend systems with Python, apply AI-assisted tooling, and drive architectural decisions at a startup stage with direct access to the founder. You’ll own critical components from data models to deployment, balancing reliability, performance, and product impact while communicating tradeoffs clearly and delivering working software frequently.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
