At Aineko, our mission is to give developers super powers. We are building the platform for engineering teams looking to scale the next wave of innovative applications. Aineko unlocks developer potential and enables teams to go from proof of concept to planet scale faster than ever.
We help engineering teams at a growing number of startups build data-intensive backends that power their products. They use our open source framework to simplify development of real-time inference, interactive multi-user systems, and always-fresh APIs. Our platform currently allows the teams we support to deploy with ease and conduct day 2 operations, and we’re looking to build new features that make the developer experience radically simpler. We’re seeking a product-minded frontend engineer with a deep empathy for the developer experience to join us on this journey!
