Founding Engineer

About the Role

This is the first engineering hire at an early-stage B2B SaaS startup building AI-powered workflow automation for distributors and manufacturers. You'll work directly alongside the founders, owning problems end to end — from understanding customer workflows to designing, building, and shipping production features.

What You'll Do

• Talk directly with customers to understand their workflows and surface the right problems to solve.

• Build across the full stack: customer-facing features, AI agents, third-party integrations, and infrastructure.

• Improve the evals, tests, and tooling that make each new customer implementation faster and more reliable.

• Ship your first feature to a live customer within your first week.

• Design and implement a customer-driven feature end to end within your first month.

• Own a meaningful surface area of the product, end to end, within your first quarter.

What We're Looking For

• Hands-on full-stack development experience shipping production web applications with TypeScript, Next.js, and Python.

• Demonstrated experience building production-ready AI agents, including context engineering, tool design, and evaluation frameworks.

• Experience deploying and managing applications on Google Cloud Platform.

• Experience integrating with legacy systems, APIs, and third-party software platforms (ERP/CRM experience is a plus).

• Comfort conducting customer discovery and translating business problems into technical solutions.

• Experience building and maintaining automated testing, evaluation frameworks, and observability tooling for production systems.

• Prior experience in early-stage startup environments with small teams and rapid iteration cycles.

• Familiarity with LLM frameworks, prompt engineering, or AI agent orchestration tools is a strong plus.

• Background in B2B operations automation or enterprise software integration is a plus.
