As a Founding Engineer, you will work closely with experienced repeat founders and senior engineers from leading technology companies. You will have real ownership from day one, shaping both the product and the engineering culture while solving high-stakes, real-world problems.

This is a hands-on role with significant architectural responsibility. One week you may be deep in backend systems and infrastructure. The next, you may be defining how AI-driven decisions are made at scale in a regulated environment.

What You Will Do

  • Architect and build production systems for core AI-driven products

  • Lead backend and infrastructure development across cloud and data systems

  • Design and operate scalable infrastructure using modern DevOps and infra-as-code practices

  • Work across the stack when needed, including frontend contributions

  • Ship quickly, iterate with customers, and turn ambiguity into clean, scalable solutions

  • Help define engineering standards, best practices, and long-term technical direction

Tech Stack

Go, Python, Postgres, GCP or AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, React, TypeScript

About You

  • Strong backend and infrastructure experience in production environments

  • Comfortable owning technical decisions and balancing speed with long-term quality

  • Excited about building applied AI systems in complex, real-world industries

  • Enjoy working through ambiguity and making sound engineering judgement calls

  • Leadership mindset with interest in mentoring and shaping early engineering culture

  • Bonus: experience building or shipping AI products in production

Be part of a small, high-calibre founding team tackling a massive market with real-world impact. This role offers deep ownership, technical influence, and the opportunity to help define how AI is responsibly deployed in a critical industry.
