ABOUT THE ROLE

Join an early engineering team building AI infrastructure for service businesses. As the first engineering hire, you will work directly with the founder to evolve a functioning product into reliable, scalable infrastructure for AI agents and the people who use them.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Design and build the architecture, data models, and runtime needed to scale the product.

- Develop agent orchestration, memory, verification, and other systems that make AI workflows dependable.

- Own projects across backend, infrastructure, frontend, and agent development.

- Set technical direction and establish engineering practices as the team grows.

- Ship improvements regularly to customers using the product in real businesses.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- At least 2 years of experience shipping production software, or an equivalent track record as a founder, solo builder, or exceptional early-career engineer.

- Experience building and operating LLM or AI agent systems used by real customers.

- Full-stack range, including the ability to work across backend services, infrastructure, and user interfaces.

- Experience scaling a working product and making technical decisions with a high degree of ownership.

- Familiarity with agent orchestration, memory, evaluations, verification, or multi-agent workflows is valuable.

- A track record of shipping quickly and explaining the technical challenges behind systems you have built.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Base salary is $150,000 to $250,000 annually, plus meaningful founding equity. Visa sponsorship is available, including support for relocation.

LOCATION

On-site in San Francisco, California. The founding team works together in person.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
