Job description
Founding Engineer $120,000 - $200,000 + Equity (0.75-2%) + Benefits + Flexible PTO
San Francisco, CA - Onsite
Want massive equity upside, direct founder mentorship, and the chance to shape product direction from day one while building an AI-powered platform with strong existing traction and big upside potential?
This is an exciting opportunity to join a company that is transforming how lean teams execute sales, marketing, and growth strategies. Backed by Y Combinator, the team is pioneering new capabilities in AI-powered GTM operations, building tools that make small teams exponentially more effective and levels the playing field against enterprise competition.
As part of a founding engineering team, you'll take ownership of critical product features, working across full-stack systems built on Next.js, React, Trigger.dev, Supabase, and Vercel with AI SDK integrations.
You'll architect backend systems, design scalable infrastructure, ship new features, squash bugs, and build the core platform that customers rely on, all while learning directly from experienced founders in a true zero-to-one environment.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role perfect for engineers who thrive in fast-moving, product-driven environments, take initiative without hand-holding, and are looking for a founding role with huge upside.
The Role
- Architect and implement backend systems and infrastructure
- Build and maintain frontend experiences in Next.js and React
- Design scalable systems using Trigger.dev, Supabase, and AI SDK
- Own new features, bug fixing, and systems design end-to-end
- Collaborate directly with customers to understand needs and drive product direction
- Contribute to AI-powered automation and workflow orchestration
- Onsite in San Francisco
The Person
- 1+ years of software engineering experience in early-stage startups
- Full-stack experience with 50/50 to 65/35 backend-to-frontend bias
- Strong initiative-taker who doesn't need hand-holding
- Experience delivering products end-to-end in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
- Excellent communication skills and comfortable with founder-level collaboration
- Looking to grow and lead their own team later down the line
- Excited to be customer-obsessed
