The Opportunity
If you're a world-class builder with an AI toolkit and a founder's mindset, we want to meet you!
We are looking for an AI superstar to partner up with our founder to launch a new AI venture. The mission? To leverage cutting-edge AI tools to solve real-world problems for real-world businesses-think $10-20M revenue companies in need of automation, optimization, and intelligent workflows.
As a Co Founder / AI Engineer , you'll help architect, prototype, and deploy AI-powered solutions that actually make a difference-streamlining operations, reducing costs, and amplifying efficiency across a portfolio of companies.
Responsibilities:
- Act as strategic advisor to the Co-Founder, providing high-level guidance across core business functions
- Identify critical operational pain points, conceptualize innovative solutions, and lead end-to-end execution from ideation to implementation.
- Create clear and detailed documentation for every stage of the project, including planning, design, development, and rollout, to ensure alignment, accountability, and ease of knowledge transfer
- Build out a team to create full-stack applications-front to back-leveraging APIs from OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source LLMs, vector databases, RAG pipelines, and more
- Stay on the cutting edge of AI/ML technologies-and know how to translate them into business value
Qualifications:
- You are a full-stack engineer with 3+ years of experience and a deep fluency in Python, Node, or similar modern stacks
- Have a strong academic or practical foundation in software engineering, ideally with a degree (but we care more about what you've built)
- Live and breathe AI-prompt engineering, LLM fine-tuning, multi-agent systems, LangChain/LlamaIndex, embeddings, etc.
- Are a systems thinker-capable of seeing the macro (business problem) and the micro (code that solves it)
- Thrive in an autonomous role in an ambiguous environment where "figure it out" is a way of life
- Want to be more than "just the tech lead"-you want a seat at the table and equity in what you help build
Nice To Have:
- Startup experience or prior founder/operator background
- Have experience working with or advising founders, operators, or investors
Why This Role Rocks:
- Massive leverage: Your work impacts multiple companies and industries-not just one product.
- High autonomy: You'll operate as a thought partner, not just a developer.
- Equity upside: Build from the ground floor with a direct path to leadership.
- Cutting-edge tech: We're not playing catch-up-we're building what's next.
