Senior AI Engineer

You will ship at the pace of a small team by directing AI coding agents while bringing the judgment, fundamentals, and technical ownership of a senior engineer. You will move quickly from prototype to production, own complex technical decisions, and help shape the product at a very early stage, working directly alongside the founders and senior team with meaningful ownership over core parts of the product.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship core product features, systems, and infrastructure
• Turn fast-moving, AI-assisted prototypes into reliable, scalable, production-grade software
• Own architecture, security, quality, and technical direction across major parts of the product
• Use tools like Codex, Claude Code, and modern AI coding agents to dramatically increase engineering output
• Direct, evaluate, and control agentic development workflows while maintaining strong human oversight
• Help define engineering standards, architecture patterns, review practices, and AI-native workflows
• Work closely with founders on product, strategy, technical tradeoffs, and execution
• Debug complex issues, make high-judgment technical decisions, and raise the overall engineering bar

Requirements

• 8–12+ years of experience building and shipping real production software
• Strong experience owning systems used by real users, including production incidents, scale, reliability, and long-term maintainability
• Daily use of AI coding tools such as Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor
• Ability to use AI agents to multiply output while maintaining control over quality, security, and architecture
• Deep software engineering fundamentals across architecture, debugging, system design, and code quality
• Strong security instincts and ability to identify risk in AI-generated code
• Excellent judgment around where AI tools excel, hallucinate, or require human expertise
• Strong ownership mindset with ability to handle responsibility, ambiguity, and hard technical problems
• Startup, 0→1, founder, first-engineer, or early-stage product experience

Benefits

• Remote-first setup with flexible hours
• Structured onboarding
• Tools provided to do your best work
