Founding Engineer (Full-Stack)

About the Role We're a seed-stage, Y Combinator–backed AI marketing automation company building a full-funnel platform that automates market intelligence, content production, campaign management, and analytics for enterprise brands. Our technology replaces manual campaign execution with intelligent, AI-driven automation — helping marketing teams improve return on ad spend, lift conversion rates, and dramatically cut production costs. We're looking for a Founding Engineer (Full-Stack) to join our small, high-ownership team on-site in San Francisco. This is a foundational role: you'll work directly alongside the founding team, shape the architecture, and own features end-to-end from concept through deployment and maintenance. What You'll Do Take full ownership of features across the entire stack — frontend, backend, infrastructure, and data. Build and maintain frontend experiences using Vue.js / Nuxt. Develop robust backend services with Node.js and TypeScript, including event-driven background jobs via Inngest. Architect and manage PostgreSQL schemas (via Supabase), ensuring data integrity and performance. Manage deployments and infrastructure on Render and maintain dedicated deployments on Microsoft Azure. Integrate AI agents and language model workflows using LangGraph and LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google). Collaborate closely with the operations team and customers via Slack and Notion to keep solutions tightly aligned with real user needs. Contribute to product thinking, applying user-centric design principles across the full product lifecycle. Work with Linear, GitHub, Slack, and Notion as core collaboration and delivery tools. What We're Looking For Must-haves: 2+ years of software engineering experience delivering full-stack web applications in production. Hands-on, proven experience with TypeScript / Node.js backend development. Solid command of PostgreSQL — schema design, query optimization, data integrity. Experience owning end-to-end features or projects, from initial concept through deployment and ongoing maintenance. Frontend development experience with Vue.js + Nuxt or React / Next.js. Willingness and ability to work on-site in San Francisco (relocation required if not already local). Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Nice-to-haves: Experience deploying and managing applications with Render and Inngest; familiarity with Microsoft Azure deployments. Previous exposure to marketing technology, AdTech, or digital advertising platforms. Experience integrating language models and AI/ML APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.). Familiarity with serverless workflows or event-driven architecture (e.g., Inngest). Comfort working directly with customers and translating feedback into product decisions. You'll thrive here if you: Are energized by early-stage ambiguity and the chance to shape a product from the ground up. Prefer breadth and ownership over narrow specialization. Are a self-starter who moves fast, communicates openly, and takes pride in shipping things that matter. Compensation & Benefits Salary: $175,000 – $200,000 USD per year Equity participation at a founding-team level Visa sponsorship available Location This role is on-site in San Francisco, CA. We work together in person — this is not a remote or hybrid position. Relocation support is available for the right candidate.
