About the Role
Join an early-stage AI company building infrastructure for businesses that coordinate AI agents and human teams. As a founding engineer, you will help shape and build the product from the ground up, working closely with users and shipping production features early.
What You'll Do
- Identify user needs and define product outcomes, then design, build, and ship solutions end to end.
- Build and improve a new AI platform, with responsibility for decisions across the product and engineering lifecycle.
- Ship code to production, monitor how it performs, and diagnose and fix issues based on real-world use.
- Use AI coding tools as a regular part of your development workflow.
What We're Looking For
- At least 3 years of professional software engineering experience.
- A track record of shipping a product to real users and explaining what broke and how you fixed it.
- Experience as an end-to-end product engineer who speaks with users, defines outcomes, and delivers working products.
- Heavy daily use of AI coding tools.
- Relevant background through early engineering work at a leading AI or high-growth startup, founding or technical leadership experience, production-grade systems work, or strong technical training.
- Willingness to relocate from Europe to San Francisco by January 2027.
