Job Description

This founding AI engineering role supports a seed-stage team building AI agents that operate as IT technicians for small and midsize businesses. You will collaborate closely with the founders to deliver agent capabilities, scale the underlying infrastructure, and ship customer-facing functionality.

Role & Scope

You will help build AI agents that investigate and resolve IT support tickets in real customer environments. Work spans distributed infrastructure, agent architecture, and integrations across the product surface area, informed by direct customer feedback.

Responsibilities

Build and improve AI agents that investigate and resolve IT support tickets across live customer environments
Scale infrastructure and distributed systems to match customer growth while maintaining reliability
Ship across the full surface area from frontend to backend to integrations, guided by feedback from customers
Work day to day with the founders on a fast-moving roadmap
Optional: Spend time with customers to understand their problems and influence product direction

Requirements

Two to five years building software across the full stack
A track record of shipping production systems and maintaining them at a scale of roughly fifty customers or more
Practical command of LLM APIs, prompt engineering, and agent architectures
A founding-engineer disposition, including shipping side projects and readiness for the pace and commitment of an early team
Clear communication, the ability to simplify complex problems, and prioritization and decisiveness on what matters first

Technologies

LLM APIs

Compensation & Benefits

$175,000 to $220,000 per year + competitive early-stage equity
Seed funding from a respected venture firm; founders with backgrounds in frontier AI research and high-growth enterprise software
A genuine founding-engineer seat to shape product and engineering culture, not only handle tickets
A large, largely untouched market with signed customers and adoption already running ahead of expectations
Agentic systems at the core of the product rather than added on top of an existing workflow

Nice to Have

AI agents or tool-using LLM systems you have run in production, not just prototyped
Experience at an early-stage startup, such as between seed and Series C
Exposure to enterprise IT, security, or identity management
A bachelor’s degree in computer science or a comparable technical field
Depth in distributed systems and backend infrastructure
Comfort owning front-end product work alongside backend and platform layers

Role Details

Location: San Francisco, CA (on-site)
Work policy: On-site, 5 days per week
Employment type: Full-time
Visa sponsorship: Open to visa transfers (for example OPT or H-1B transfers)
