Company Description: Fast-growing consumer AI startup

Job Description:
Join a high-velocity team as a Founding Engineer building the future of consumer AI. You will have full ownership over product features, from initial ideation to shipping delightful user interfaces. This role is perfect for a scrappy, high-agency builder who thrives in messy, early-stage environments and wants to move at an incredible pace.

  • Backed by top-tier VCs in the AI space, offering a massive platform for professional growth and impact.

  • Work on cutting-edge consumer AI agents and tools that solve real-world problems for users immediately.

What you will do:

  • Build and ship real products end-to-end, moving from frontend design to backend infrastructure seamlessly.

  • Prototype and integrate LLM-powered agents and automation systems into a cohesive, user-facing product.

  • Collaborate directly with the founders to navigate ambiguity and define the technical and product roadmap.

The ideal candidate:

  • A high-slope individual with 0-2 years of experience or an exceptional track record as a student/dropout.

  • Proven history of building side projects, open-source work, or hackathon wins "for the love of the game."

  • Scrappy mindset with the ability to set up basic infrastructure while maintaining a strong eye for UI/UX.

We never post fake jobs
