Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • Join a three-person founding team in New York and help build the full-stack systems powering agentic operations that handle thousands of jobs daily.
- • As a Founding Engineer, you'll shape how the product makes its AI agents dependable — through reliable tooling, durable execution, and strong observability — while owning work across frontend, data infrastructure, and AI orchestration.
- • This is a high-ownership, end-to-end role at an early-stage Y Combinator–backed company operating at the intersection of financial research, healthcare data, and applied AI.
- • You'll be expected to inspect data, ship improvements, instrument what you build, and fix it in production when it breaks.
- • Work across the entire stack to ship frontend features, data pipelines, and agent infrastructure.
- • Build real-time, customer-facing systems that keep users informed as information changes.
- • Create internal tools and data pipelines that enable analysts to add sources and maintain sector coverage faster and more reliably.
- • Improve the tooling and capabilities that make AI agents more reliable and capable in production.
- • Own projects end to end: inspect the data, QA and instrument your work, ship it, and fix it in production.
- • Add a new information source on day one, ship improvements to parsing and extraction within your first week, and build a company ontology and the first version of a core product module within 30 days.
🎯 Requirements
- • Demonstrated track record of building, shipping, and operating production software systems end-to-end.
- • Hands-on experience using AI agents or LLM-based systems to accomplish real work in production or substantial projects.
- • Experience building deterministic software tools and controls used alongside AI agent systems.
- • Backend service development with Python and FastAPI (or equivalent Python frameworks) in production.
- • Database, data pipeline, and data infrastructure experience — including relational and analytical data stores.
- • Frontend development with TypeScript and React, including real-time customer-facing features.
- • Experience building parsing, extraction, or data reconciliation systems from unstructured or semi-structured sources.
- • Experience improving AI agent reliability, observability, or tool design for production agentic workflows.
- • Cloud infrastructure and deployment experience with AWS, Cloudflare, or equivalent platforms.
- • US work authorization required — visa sponsorship is not available.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Salary: $150,000 – $175,000 USD annually.
- • Early-stage equity opportunity commensurate with a founding-team role.
- • On-site in New York, NY, United States.
- • This is an in-person role — remote work is not available.
- • Visa sponsorship is not available; US work authorization is required.
