Job Description

Founding Engineer

San Francisco, CA

Full-time

As one of our earliest engineers, you’ll help design and ship technology that global enterprises will rely on every day. This isn’t just an engineering role — it’s a chance to influence both the technical direction and the customer relationships that define our company’s future.

Responsibilities

  • Build AI systems capable of handling domains where general-purpose models fall short.
  • Design infrastructure that can run heavy workloads quickly and reliably.
  • Develop new evaluation approaches to measure and benchmark reasoning at scale.
  • Collaborate with external research groups to fine-tune and adapt frontier models.

What we’re looking for

  • Engineers who form their own opinions about how agentic AI systems should evolve — and can back those opinions up with code or research.
  • People who enjoy diving into messy datasets to discover where models break and how to make them better.
  • Builders who notice gaps, propose solutions, and deploy production-ready systems without waiting for a green light.
  • Teammates who want to work closely with founders and bring intensity, curiosity, and drive to the table.

Our toolkit

React (TypeScript) · Python · Docker · AWS

Compensation & perks

  • Base salary: $150,000–$200,000 + equity
  • Bonus structure with potential to earn an additional $300,000
  • 401(k) with employer match, full health coverage, and daily meals provided in office
