About this role

About the Role

Join the AI product team as a founding engineer, owning an agent-based product from concept through production. You will shape product and technical decisions while building user-facing features and the backend systems that power the platform.

What You'll Do

  • Design and build user-facing features for an AI agent product, balancing usability with technical feasibility.

  • Develop and maintain backend systems, APIs, and infrastructure for production AI workloads.

  • Gather feedback, test product ideas, and ship improvements in rapid cycles.

  • Own systems end-to-end, from architecture and implementation to deployment and monitoring.

  • Collaborate with the founding team on product direction and technical strategy.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 5 years of professional software engineering experience and a record of shipping products.

  • Full-stack product engineering skills across frontend, backend, and production infrastructure.

  • Hands-on experience building and deploying AI-powered products, LLM applications, or agent workflows.

  • Experience owning systems from zero to one, ideally in a startup, founding-engineer, solo-builder, or early-stage environment.

  • Comfort working through ambiguity and making decisions with incomplete information.
