Founding Engineer (Backend / AI Infrastructure)
New York, NY / San Francisco, CA
We’re hiring a Founding Engineer to help build the next generation of AI-powered systems transforming the physical world—from housing to energy to infrastructure.
This is not just another engineering role.
You’ll work directly with a world-class founding team (ex-Coinbase, Meta) and own critical systems from day one.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Build production-grade AI agents solving real-world problems
- Own backend infrastructure from 0 → 1
- Competitive salary + meaningful equity (1–2%)
- Join a fast-growing startup with real enterprise traction
- Work on problems impacting trillion-dollar industries
What You’ll Do
- Design and build secure, multi-tenant infrastructure for enterprise customers
- Own cloud architecture, CI/CD, reliability, and security end-to-end
- Develop and deploy AI agents that automate complex workflows
- Build long-running, stateful systems (document ingestion, retrieval pipelines)
- Collaborate directly with founders to shape product and engineering direction
- Create internal tools to accelerate development velocity
What We’re Looking For
- 4–8 years of experience building and shipping production systems
- Strong experience in backend engineering + cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure)
- Hands-on experience with:
- Multi-tenant systems
- Enterprise-grade security (SOC2, access control, audit logs)
- Experience building:
- AI agents / LLM-powered systems
- OR core infrastructure (SRE / DevOps / platform engineering)
- Background in startup or 0→1 environments
- Ability to own systems end-to-end with high autonomy
Tech Stack
- Python, TypeScript
- React, Next.js
- Cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure)
- CI/CD, Infrastructure tooling
