Founding AI Engineer – Llms & Agentic AI

We are looking for a Founding AI Engineer to join an early-stage team and take a hands-on role in building and shipping production-grade AI systems. This is an opportunity for an engineer who enjoys working directly with the founder, solving complex problems, and turning customer-specific solutions into scalable platform capabilities. What We’re Looking For - Currently writing production code with a strong hands-on engineering focus. - Your most recent hands-on production/shipping experience should be within the past 12 months. - Proven production experience with LLMs and AI agents—not just prompt engineering. Experience should include agent orchestration, state management, evaluations, failure handling, and production reliability. - Comfortable working in a small, founding-team environment with a high degree of ownership and direct collaboration with the founder. - Demonstrated public artifacts of agentic AI work, such as: - GitHub repositories - Technical blog posts - Conference or meetup talks - Open-source contributions to projects such as LangGraph, DSPy, Inspect, Anthropic SDK, or similar ecosystems. - Experience building Vertical AI solutions, particularly in domains such as: - Healthcare - Legal - Insurance - Finance - Strong experience working with messy, unstructured, and complex real-world data. - Experience transforming custom customer implementations into reusable platform primitives, frameworks, or product capabilities. - Previous experience as an early engineer or founding engineer at a startup, ideally in a fast-paced environment where you owned significant parts of the product and technology.
