Founding Engineer - Applied AI

Compensation: 2.0% – 3.0%

I’m building an early-stage AI startup focused on helping organizations work through complex situations—bringing together fragmented context, human expertise, and AI to make better decisions and carry them through to resolution.

I’m looking for a Founding Engineer to build it with me.

We have early market validation with upper mid-market companies and a credible path to becoming revenue-generating—and potentially revenue-positive—before raising our first institutional round. The opportunity is taking shape; the focus now is execution. The immediate goal is to build and ship a solid V1 with design partners, learn from real-world use, and turn what works into a scalable product.I’m looking for someone with a strong software engineering and product-delivery foundation who is now deeply hands-on with modern AI—LLMs, agents, retrieval, context engineering, reasoning, and AI-native application patterns.

You should enjoy going from an ambiguous customer problem to a working product rather than waiting for a detailed specification.

Ideally, you’ve built and shipped production software end-to-end, are strong in application/backend architecture and integrations, have meaningful hands-on applied-AI experience, and have the product instincts to work directly with early customers. Most importantly, you know when to build something robust and when to keep it simple.

This is an early founding-team opportunity with meaningful equity and substantial ownership in shaping the product and technical direction, with the potential to grow into a long-term technical leadership role.If you're interested in building at the intersection of enterprise software, applied AI, and complex decision-making, please apply. I’m happy to share more privately about the product, the validation we’ve seen, and where we’re headed.

This role requires U.S. citizenship or permanent resident (Green Card) status.
