Job Description:
You will architect a revolutionary AI operating system designed to automate professional judgment for enterprise business decisions. As a founding engineer, you will build core intelligence engines from scratch, orchestrating complex reasoning models to transform fragmented data into actionable insights. This is a high-impact role shaping the technical DNA of an AI-first startup.

Location: San Francisco, USA

• Join a well-funded startup backed by top-tier VCs and founded by experienced leaders from major tech and consulting firms.

• Shape the engineering culture and technical stack of an AI-first organization with significant ownership and high velocity.

What you will do:

• Design and build the core intelligence engine end-to-end, including data ingestion, model orchestration, and API layers.

• Own the technical architecture across Python, Go, and TypeScript to support scalable, evolvable systems for enterprise use.

• Partner directly with founders to define the technical vision, product roadmap, and engineering standards for the company.

The ideal candidate:

• Proven experience shipping complex products end-to-end, ideally within a startup or small, high-growth engineering team.

• Strong foundations in distributed systems, data infrastructure, or AI/ML with fluency in modern stacks like Python and React.

• Generalist mindset with a bias for action, capable of navigating ambiguity and building simple, craftsmanship-focused solutions.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
