Now Hiring: Founding Full Stack Engineer | Seed-Stage AI/ML Startup
Visa Support: Not Available; at this time we are only able to accept those with US Citizenship or Permanent Residency.
We're partnering with an early-stage AI-native SaaS startup offering custom ML solutions.
The founding team includes a repeat founder with a deep industry network and a CTO who previously led engineering at two well-known, high-growth tech companies. You'll be engineering hire #4 at this 11-person company.
The Role
This is a true founding engineer position. You'll report directly to the CTO, own the end-to-end build of the user-facing platform, and have real influence over architecture, engineering culture, and hiring from day one.
You're a fit if you:
- Have 5+ years of backend experience with Go/Python/Node and 2+ years with React/TypeScript
- Are an AI builder, not just user: you have experience shipping agentic AI solutions and integrating/ingesting AI technologies into an existing platform
- Have a BS or higher in Computer Science, Physics, or a similar STEM field
- Have worked in both startup and scaled environments (or scrappy startups end to end)
- Are not looking for a staff or principal title, but want the ownership and scope that comes with a founding role
- Care about product sense and shipping, not just writing clean code
- Bonus points for ML pipeline, ML inference, LLM fine-tuning, or data platform experience
