Job Description

Founding Engineer

$140K - $200K + equity

San Francisco (Onsite Role)

Direct Hire

A fast growing early-stage start who recently secured a significant amount at Seed is actively hiring 3x software engineers to join their founding team. They’re looking for people who are scrappy, move fast, challenge assumptions, and are driven to win. They build quickly and expect teammates to push boundaries.

Who You Are

• Make quick, reversible (“two-way door”) decisions
• Proactively fix problems before being asked
• Comfortable working across a modern engineering stack (e.g., TypeScript, Python, containerisation, ML/LLM tooling, databases, cloud environments, mobile frameworks)
• Have built real, shipped products
• Thrive in ambiguity and fast-moving environments

What You’ll Do

• Talk directly with users to understand their workflows, pain points, and needs
• Architect systems that support large enterprise usage
• Build automated pipelines and intelligent agents that process and verify large volumes of data
• Maintain scalable, robust infrastructure
• Ship quickly — progress over perfection

The Reality

• You’ll work closely with the founding team and directly with customers
• User value beats hype, trends, and “cool tech”
• Expect a demanding, high-output culture

If you’re a Software Engineer with 2 + years’ experience and want to work in a growing start-up, please do apply now for immediate consideration.
