About this role
ABOUT THE ROLE
Join an early-stage AI company building infrastructure for businesses that coordinate AI agents and human teams. As a founding engineer, you will help shape and build the product from the ground up, working closely with users and shipping production features early.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Identify user needs and define product outcomes, then design, build, and ship solutions end to end.
- Build and improve a new AI platform, with responsibility for decisions across the product and engineering lifecycle.
- Ship code to production, monitor how it performs, and diagnose and fix issues based on real-world use.
- Use AI coding tools as a regular part of your development workflow.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- At least 3 years of professional software engineering experience.
- A track record of shipping a product to real users and explaining what broke and how you fixed it.
- Experience as an end-to-end product engineer who speaks with users, defines outcomes, and delivers working products.
- Heavy daily use of AI coding tools.
- Relevant background through early engineering work at a leading AI or high-growth startup, founding or technical leadership experience, production-grade systems work, or strong technical training.
- Willingness to relocate from Europe to San Francisco by January 2027.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
San Francisco base salary is $150,000 to $250,000 annually, with salary adjusted to the San Francisco level upon relocation. Meaningful early-stage equity is available. Visa sponsorship and relocation support are provided.

About this listing
Published on Ashby under the board identifier Clera, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
