Founding Engineer

Join an early engineering team building AI-powered software for industrial ingredient manufacturers. You will work closely with the founding team, take ownership across the product, and help automate complex document-heavy workflows in a traditionally underserved industry. What You’ll Do

• Build backend systems that ingest and process real-world documents from customer systems and inboxes.
• Develop AI agents that complete complex compliance and food safety documents.
• Own product features end to end, from backend services and data models through to the user interface.
• Ship quickly, gather feedback from users, and improve the product based on what you learn.
• Work across application development, infrastructure, and AI as the needs of the team evolve.

• Experience can range from 1 to 10+ years. We value shipped work, ownership, and increasing scope over a specific degree or career length.
• Prior experience as a founder, founding engineer, or one of the first engineers at an early-stage startup.
• A track record of building and launching production products or major features that real users rely on.
• Strong full-stack skills, including the ability to work across backend services, frontend interfaces, and infrastructure.
• Experience with AI or LLM products, agents, retrieval, or automation, ideally in production.
• Relevant technologies include Kotlin, Spring Boot, React, Next.js, Postgres, GCP, and commercial LLM providers. Experience with equivalent tools is welcome.
• Backend experience processing documents or unstructured data and designing relational schemas is valuable.
• Interest in industrial software, supply chains, food manufacturing, or other traditional industries is a plus.
