About the role
We’re looking for a Founding AI Engineer to help build and scale an AI-first product from the ground up. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving hard problems, shipping quickly, and working across the stack to bring new capabilities into production.
You’ll join a small, highly technical team and play a key role in shaping the product, technical foundations, and engineering culture.
What you’ll do
In this role, you will:
* Develop production-grade AI systems that deliver reliable, high-quality outputs in real user workflows
* Design and maintain evaluation infrastructure (benchmarks, automated tests, monitoring) to measure quality and guide iteration
* Experiment rapidly and ship improvements by combining LLM prompting techniques with practical engineering
* Work end-to-end from research and prototyping through deployment, iteration, and performance tuning
* Collaborate closely with product and engineering to translate ambiguous requirements into robust solutions
🛠️ What you bring
As our Founding AI Engineer, you’ve built AI solutions that tackle difficult problems — demonstrated through prior roles, personal projects, open-source work, or a strong portfolio/GitHub presence.
Must haves
* Expert-level Python skills
* Industry experience shipping algorithms and/or evaluation pipelines into production environments
* Hands-on experience with large language models and prompt engineering
* Familiarity with back-end development and Postgres databases
* Experience with modern front-end development (TypeScript / React)
* Excellent written communication — clear, structured, and precise
Nice to haves
* Publications at leading ML venues (e.g. NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML) or related research areas
* Familiarity with common LLM evaluation tooling (e.g. OpenAI Evals or similar frameworks)
