ABOUT THE ROLE This is a founding engineering role at an a16z-backed AI GTM automation startup, where you'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founding team to ship the core product. You'll own major product areas end-to-end — from APIs and backend systems to AI-powered features — with direct, immediate impact on real customers. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Collaborate daily with founders in person to define requirements, build features, and iterate rapidly on customer feedback. - Build core product infrastructure including APIs, backend systems, and interfaces designed for both human users and AI agents. - Ship production-ready AI features that power customer go-to-market workflows end-to-end. - Join customer calls to demo solutions, surface needs, and translate insights directly into product improvements. - Leverage AI coding agents and the latest tooling to accelerate development velocity with sound engineering judgment. - Establish AI-native engineering workflows and processes that scale the team's output over time. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 3+ years of software engineering experience with a strong track record of shipping and iterating in production. - Proficiency in Python and TypeScript for building APIs, backend systems, and user interfaces. - Solid data modeling fundamentals and experience designing scalable production systems. - Hands-on experience building and deploying AI/ML features in production environments. - Comfort using AI coding agents and LLM-based development tools as part of a daily workflow. - Experience working in early-stage startup environments with close founder collaboration. - Ownership-oriented mindset with a desire for real influence over product and roadmap decisions. - Bonus: Experience with GTM workflows, outbound campaigns, or customer-facing technical roles. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary range: $137,000 – $190,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is available. LOCATION On-site in New York, NY.
