Founding Fullstack Engineer

About The Role

We’re not hiring “a developer.”

We’re hiring a founding builder.

This is an opportunity to join an early-stage company and help build the product from the ground up. You will work across the full stack, ship AI-powered features, and play a critical role in shaping the engineering culture and technical direction of the company.

You will turn ideas into shipped products and help define how the platform evolves.

What You’ll Do

• Build and ship core product features across frontend and backend
• Develop AI-powered functionality, including agents, workflows, and LLM integrations
• Translate ambiguous product ideas into working software
• Own problems end-to-end (idea → design → build → deploy → iterate)
• Work closely with founders to shape product and technical decisions
• Help define engineering standards, architecture, and development culture
  
  

Tech Stack

• TypeScript
• Node.js
• Next.js
• tRPC
• PostgreSQL
• AI SDK
  
  

Experience with AI agents, LLM integrations, or AI product development is highly preferred.

Strong fundamentals and the ability to learn quickly are essential.

Required Skills

• TypeScript
• Node.js
• Next.js
• tRPC
• PostgreSQL
• AI SDK
• AI/LLM integration experience (preferred)
  
  

Who You Are

• A full-stack generalist, not a narrow specialist
• Comfortable building across the entire stack
• Senior enough to operate without hand-holding
• You enjoy solving complex problems and delivering working solutions
• You build projects outside of work and have a strong builder mindset
• Experience in startups or founding teams is a strong plus
• You stay productive and focused even in uncertain environments
  
  

We are not looking for someone we need to train.

We need someone who can carry meaningful technical ownership from day one.

What We Offer

• Founding-level ownership and influence on product direction
• Competitive compensation
• Equity participation
• Opportunity to build an AI-driven product from the ground up
• Small, fast-moving team environment with real impact
  
  

Hiring Process

• Initial conversation
• Technical discussion
• 1-month paid contractor trial
• Full-time offer
  
  

If you want stability, this role may not be for you.

If you want ownership, equity, and real impact, we’d love to talk.
