Founding Engineer

This is a zero-to-one Founding Engineer role inside an early-stage AI company building an AI-native operating system for high-level decision makers across government and enterprise environments.

This is not a feature-level engineering position. You will own full product architecture and execution-from system design to deployment-helping shape the technical and product foundation of the company.

This role is ideal for a scrappy, product-minded engineer who thrives in early-stage environments and wants meaningful ownership over mission-critical systems.

Core Responsibilities

• Ship core AI-driven workflows used daily by executive and leadership teams
• Design ingestion and structuring systems that transform unstructured information into actionable intelligence
• Work directly with leadership teams to understand real-world workflows and embed the platform into daily operations
• Shape architecture across backend, frontend, AI systems, infrastructure, and security
• Build and iterate on personalization, reasoning systems, recommendation layers, and contextual intelligence
• Own infrastructure scalability and security considerations from day one

• Scrappy, resourceful, and execution-driven mindset
• Strong ownership mentality with demonstrated care for mission, product quality, and measurable outcomes
