Founding Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE Join an early-stage AI company as its first engineering hire, partnering with the founder to turn a working product into reliable infrastructure for AI-powered service businesses.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - At least two years shipping production software, or an equivalent record as a founder, solo builder, or exceptional early-career engineer. - Full-stack range, with the ability to work across backend, infrastructure, and user interfaces. - Experience building and operating production LLM or AI agent systems relied on by real users. - Experience evolving a working prototype into scalable infrastructure, including architecture, data models, runtime, and orchestration. - Evidence of owning technical decisions in an early-stage environment, and the ability to explain the difficult parts of systems you have shipped. - Experience with agent orchestration, memory, evaluations, verification, or multi-agent workflows is useful. - Founder experience or familiarity with recruiting, agencies, or other service-delivery businesses is a plus. - Based in Europe and willing to relocate to San Francisco within the first year.
