AI Builder / Founding Engineer

About the Role

• You’ll sit in the founder’s office and help build consumer products from zero — AI-first, hands on the keyboard.
• Contribute to a portfolio of products, taking ideas from concept to working prototypes.
• Validate early signals of product-market fit and support handoff to core teams once things show traction.
• Work directly with the CEO and senior builders, closing the distance between "we should build this" and "it’s live."

Key Responsibilities

• Build real product prototypes — frontend, backend, and AI integrations — alongside a small, fast-moving team.
• Use modern AI tools as a force multiplier to move from idea → demo in days, not weeks.
• Ship fast, iterate faster — test ideas with real users.
• Support end-to-end product ownership: build, test, refine, document.
• Work across categories — apps, AI tools, consumer experiences — without being boxed into one domain.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• You’ve built something real (solo or in a small team) — a project, app, bot, tool, anything people actually used.
• You move fast, care about quality, and finish what you start.
• Strong fundamentals in CS or engineering (degree not mandatory — proof of work matters more).
• Comfortable with modern AI tooling (LLMs, APIs, copilots) and web stacks.
• Curious, resourceful, and not blocked by “I’ve never done this before.”

Bonus (Nice to Have)

• Experience with shipping side projects or hackathon builds.
• Familiarity with React / Next.js, Node, Python, or similar.
• Experience using tools like OpenAI APIs, LangChain, or similar frameworks.

What You’ll Get

• Direct exposure to 0→1 product building.
• Work closely with founders and early team.
• Real ownership, not intern busywork.
• A front-row seat to how products are actually conceived, built, and shipped fast.
