 * Hands-on, end-to-end full-stack experience across UI, backend, and infrastructure.

Strongly preferred:

 * Experience integrating and deploying AI systems, including large language models (LLMs) and vision language models (VLMs).
 * Practical experience with video processing and media pipelines using FFmpeg and Remotion.

## Description

Join a pre-seed Applied AI startup in San Francisco as a Founding Full-Stack Engineer, working directly alongside the founders to ship across the entire product. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role at a small team building at the intersection of generative AI, creative intelligence, and social media - with ambitions to reach hundreds of millions of users.

You'll touch everything: web, mobile, backend, infrastructure, AI integrations, and video processing pipelines. If you thrive in fast-moving, founder-led environments and want your work to matter from day one, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

 * Build across the full product surface: web app (Next.js), mobile app (React Native), admin tools, pricing flows, and dashboards.
 * Ship real features fast - multi-agent orchestration, FFmpeg video stitching, Remotion pipelines, and LLM/VLM integrations.
 * Architect systems designed to scale to one million users per day.
 * Collaborate directly with founders on product decisions, UX flows, and technical direction.
 * Dive into whatever moves the product forward - UI, backend, infra, orchestration, computer vision, ML, or DevOps.
 * Own problems end-to-end without waiting for permission or detailed instructions.
