About the role

About the Role

Join an early-stage AI company building infrastructure for businesses that coordinate AI agents and human teams. As a founding engineer, you will help shape and build the product from the ground up, working closely with users and shipping production features early.

What You'll Do

  • Identify user needs and define product outcomes, then design, build, and ship solutions end to end.
  • Build and improve a new AI platform, with responsibility for decisions across the product and engineering lifecycle.
  • Ship code to production, monitor how it performs, and diagnose and fix issues based on real-world use.
  • Use AI coding tools as a regular part of your development workflow.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 3 years of professional software engineering experience.
  • A track record of shipping a product to real users and explaining what broke and how you fixed it.
  • Experience as an end-to-end product engineer who speaks with users, defines outcomes, and delivers working products.
  • Heavy daily use of AI coding tools.
  • Relevant background through early engineering work at a leading AI or high-growth startup, founding or technical leadership experience, production-grade systems work, or strong technical training.
  • Willingness to relocate from Europe to San Francisco by January 2027.

Compensation & Benefits

San Francisco base salary is $150,000 to $250,000 annually, with salary adjusted to the San Francisco level upon relocation. Meaningful early-stage equity is available. Visa sponsorship and relocation support are provided.

Location

On-site in Europe initially, then on-site in San Francisco, United States, following relocation by January 2027.
