Build the AI layer a continent will run on.

We are a small team shipping production infrastructure into tier-1 banks, national LLMs, and the most regulated institutions in Latin America. The work is hard, the stakes are real, and the people we hire stay for the arc — not the quarter.

001 / Why Saptiva

Four things we will not pretend about working here.

We would rather you self-select out early than discover misalignment at month four. This section is the honest version of what it is actually like to build Saptiva AI.

001 / THE PROBLEM

Genuinely hard infrastructure, not a consumer app.

You will work on orchestration, compliance policy enforcement, multi-environment deployment, and audit surfaces that have to clear risk committees at real banks. The bar is high because the customer is. If you want to ship fast-and-loose, this is not the place.
002 / THE CUSTOMER

Directly in front of customers, not behind five layers.

Forward Deployed Engineers are in customer rooms. Engineers hear from customers weekly. Product decisions reference actual deployment conversations, not hypothetical personas. If you want to be protected from customer contact, this is not the place.
003 / THE ARC

A long horizon, not a hype cycle.

Quiubas was thirteen years. We expect Saptiva AI to be a longer arc. If you are optimizing for a two-year resume line and out, the work we do does not compound for you. The compounding is the point.
004 / THE TEAM

Small, senior, un-babysitted.

We hire people who can operate without a process wrapping them. Clear ownership, no middle management theater, direct accountability for outcomes. If you need a scaffold to be effective, we are the wrong team. If the scaffold usually slows you down, welcome.
002 / Open Roles

The roles we are hiring for now.

All roles are hybrid from Mexico City, with significant in-person time expected for engineering and FDE positions. If a role appears here, we are actively reviewing candidates.

003 / Forward Deployed Engineering

The most important role we hire for.

FDEs are the reason Saptiva AI goes into production in two weeks instead of six months. They land inside the customer's team on day one, deploy Studio and FrIdA alongside the customer's people, and stay until the outcome runs. The FDE is not a consultant on a timeline. They own the result.

This is the hardest role in the company and the one we take most seriously. FDEs carry the technical depth of a senior engineer, the customer instinct of a principal product manager, and the judgment of someone accountable for a regulated outcome in a real bank. It is also the fastest-growing craft specialization inside Saptiva AI — most of our senior roles start with time in FDE.

004 / How We Hire

No tricks. Four conversations, then a decision.

We do not run hazing processes. We have four stages because that is what it takes for both sides to make an informed call — not one stage more, not one stage fewer.

STEP 01

First conversation.

Forty-five minutes with a hiring manager. What you've built, why Saptiva AI, whether the shape of the role matches the shape of the problem you want to work on. If either side walks away unsure, we do not proceed.
STEP 02

Technical or craft deep-dive.

A substantive working session in your actual craft. For engineers, a real problem from our codebase. For AEs, a real customer scenario. For designers, a real product decision. We do not use whiteboarded algorithm puzzles.
STEP 03

On-site with the team.

Half a day in Mexico City (remote if geography requires). You meet the people you will actually work with — no phantom panels, no rubber-stamp interviews. By the end, both sides should be deciding, not debating.
STEP 04

Reference calls · both ways.

We talk to your references. You talk to ours — current and former teammates, investors, customers. If a company asks you to bet your career on them, they should bet their reputation back.
005 / Not Seeing Your Role?

If you would be obviously valuable and the role isn't listed, reach out anyway.

We hire ahead of the org chart for the right people. If you are a deeply experienced infrastructure engineer, a specialist in a regulated industry we serve, or have a background that obviously fits the problem we are building on — send us a note. The worst-case outcome is we tell you it is the wrong time.

Include the rough shape of what you would want to work on, a concrete example of a thing you built that matters, and a sentence about why Saptiva AI specifically. Skip the formal cover letter. One paragraph is better than one page.

Send to [email protected]. We read everything.

006 / Get In Touch

Apply, or talk to us.

All role applications, general inquiries, and "not sure which role fits" conversations go to one inbox. A member of the team — not a recruiter — responds.
