Founding Engineer – AI Startup (Onsite)
Ready to build something extraordinary? This is your chance to be
one of the first engineers
at a
high-growth AI startup
that's redefining what's possible with intelligent systems. We're talking true zero-to-one engineering — shaping the product, the culture, and the company from day one.
You'll work alongside an
exceptional founding team
(ex–Bulb & Zoa ) who've identified a massive opportunity at the intersection of
AI, data infrastructure, and automation
. The product already has early traction and a clear path to scale — now we need a world-class builder to make it real.
As a
Founding Engineer
, you'll:
- Take full ownership across the stack — from model training and backend architecture to deployment and performance.
- Work directly with the founders to influence product direction and technical strategy.
- Build fast, ship often, and iterate with real users.
- Help shape the engineering culture, processes, and best practices from the ground up.
What we're looking for:
- 4+ years of experience building and scaling software systems (Python, TypeScript, C++ or similar).
- Strong fundamentals in systems, AI/ML, or distributed backend architecture.
- A true builder's mindset — you care more about impact than job titles.
- A desire to work on hard problems with people who care deeply about doing things right.
Why join?
Equity with massive upside potential
Direct collaboration with world-class founders
Work that genuinely matters — in a company poised for breakout growth
If you've ever wanted to look back and say,
"I built that from the ground up,"
— this is your moment.
