- 5–10 years at Tier 1 venture-backed startups (Series B or earlier only)
- Prior founder or founding engineer experience preferred
- At least 6 months building with applied AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
- CS or STEM degree from a top 10 university
Core Tech Stack
- Backend: Python, Django
- Frontend: TypeScript, Vercel
- Infrastructure: AWS ECS, RDS/Postgres, Redis, Terraform
- AI/ML: OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude Code, Cursor
Ideal Candidate
- Bias for action and fast execution
- Curious, product-minded, and comfortable thinking beyond the code
- Strong ownership mentality; founder archetypes do well here
Why This Role
- Work directly with a high-caliber founding team
- Build zero-to-one AI products with real-world impact
- Full ownership across the stack in a high-velocity environment
If you're AI-native, startup-tested, and ready to build the future—this team wants to meet you
