Founding AI Engineer

About the job

We’re an early-stage AI company backed by top-tier investors and world-class angels, including Pear VC. We’re working with forward-leaning customers who are aggressively adopting AI at scale, building systems at the frontier of what’s possible.

Our founding team comes from Google, Facebook, Airbnb, Snap and Roblox — veteran builders who’ve shipped large-scale, high-impact products. We’re now assembling a small, exceptional team to build a category-defining AI company.

If you want to build from zero, move fast, learn faster, and take true ownership with founding-level equity, this is one of those once-in-a-decade moments.

What You’ll Do

• Build core systems powering next-generation intelligent agent capabilities
• Rapidly prototype, iterate, and ship production features used by enterprise customers
• Work directly with founders to shape product, architecture, and culture
• Collaborate with customers to deeply understand workflows and pain points
• Explore emerging techniques in reasoning, orchestration, and multi-agent behavior
• Operate with extreme autonomy — owning projects end-to-end from idea → value

Who You Are

• 1–7 years of strong engineering experience
• Fast learner who thrives in ambiguity and loves figuring things out
• Obsessed with customers — eager to talk to users and ship solutions they rely on
• Hands-on builder comfortable moving from prototype → production quickly
• Strong fundamentals across Python, TypeScript, backend systems, or infra

• Great team player who enjoys collaborating in a high-velocity environment

   

Why This Role Is Rare

• Backed by elite VCs and top angel operators
• Selected into one of the most competitive accelerator cohorts globally
• Founding-level equity and true ownership
• Strong early traction with high-caliber early customers
• Small, elite team — your work will define the company
• Massive whitespace in a rapidly shifting market
• The chance to build foundational AI systems at the frontier
