We are not hiring for a separate ML/AI engineering role.
Every engineer works across the entire stack, and even if you do not start that way, we welcome those who want to grow into it.
We have offices in Seoul and San Francisco. You will be asked to select your preferred base location when applying for this role.
tldr;
At Gentoo, we’re a small team building agents that fully operate an online store and drive its growth.
We’re still early. Every engineer here has the opportunity to shape not only our product, but redesign the future of e-commerce in the AI-native era.
We’re looking for full stack software engineers who are excited about turning visionary ideas into clear, intuitive experiences, and who care about the details that makes a product feel fast, simple, and alive. If you want to move quickly, build things that millions of merchants will actually touch, and be join a team that obsesses over craft, Gentoo might be the place for you.
What you’ll be doing
•
Build and operate agentic systems, including orchestration, memory and retrieval workflows.
•
Work across the full product surface, from storefront SDK to backend services to merchant dashboards.
•
Build reliable systems with clear APIs, strong fundamentals, and attention to latency, performance and cost.
•
Ship quickly, learn from customers, and iterate based on real outcomes.
•
Help decide the technical direction and culture of the team: choosing the tools, patterns, and practices that will let us move quickly without breaking trust.
Qualifications
•
Strong fundamentals in software engineering and a track record of shipping
•
Comfortable working across the stack from UI to backend to data pipelines
•
Proficiency in one or more modern languages and the ability to learn quickly
•
Familiarity with cloud platforms and containers with focus on reliability, observability, and performance
•

•
Our current stack: Javascript, React, NestJS, Python, FastAPI, Airflow, AWS, Vercel, Pinecone. Familiarity is a plus, not required.
