# Founding Engineer (AI-Native)

- **Company:** Career Partners, Inc.
- **Location:** San Francisco, CA, United States
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Cursor, Software Debugging, Shopify, Claude Code, Production Code
- **Published:** November 2, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.juju.com/job/16_a312ef858

## About the Role

* You've shipped to production across the stack and you close loops fast - you design, build, debug, and operate
 * Strong fundamentals: performance, reliability, security, and product/UX judgment (especially on conversion-sensitive surfaces)
 * AI-native builder: you ship production code with agentic tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, similar).
 * You use AI for speed, keep quality high with tests/CI/observability, and can debug when AI output is wrong
 * Thrive in ambiguity and a very small-team environment.
 * You're excited to learn new tools and domains fast, and you jump into whatever needs doing

Nice to Have Skills Include:

 * Shopify apps/theme integration experience, or embedded widget/SDK experience in hostile third-party environments
 * Video pipeline familiarity (Mux or similar)
 * Experimentation/analytics rigor: clean event design, integrity checks, debugging

## Description

* Build and ship across the full stack: Shopify app, storefront widget, AI extraction pipeline, internal tooling
 * Harden a live Shopify app and storefront integration across OS 2.0 and legacy theme realities with safe rollouts and easy rollback
 * Extend the mobile web creator upload flow with Mux: QR * prompt * record/upload * consent * submit
 * Turn raw buyer video into structured product evidence at scale: AI extraction, review/approve/publish, and self-serve tooling

What Success Looks Like:

 * Onboarding new customers becomes boring and repeatable
 * Founder minutes per merchant drops materially because workflows are productized
 * We can scale customers without bespoke engineering per store
