Occupation Elevation

Member of Technical Staff – Full-Stack AI/Software Engineer San Francisco, CA (Preferred) | New York City, NY | On-Site | Full-Time $150,000 – $300,000 + Competitive Equity

About the Opportunity

We are looking for a Member of Technical Staff with 2+ years of experience to join an early-stage AI company backed by First Round Capital to find a high-ownership engineer ready to build AI that autonomously operates factories. Their platform is already deployed at a precision aerospace manufacturer supplying SpaceX and Blue Origin and your work will have immediate, visible impact on real factory operations from day one.

What You'll Do

  • Own and ship entire customer-facing features from ideation through deployment.
  • Build and extend AI agent orchestration systems that optimize factory scheduling and drive indirect labor costs toward zero.
  • Work with a unified data layer connecting legacy factory systems (ERPs, MES, PLCs) into real-time operational intelligence.
  • Apply context engineering, RL techniques, and small model training in production environments.
  • Collaborate directly with customers and deploy features that impact factory throughput and profitability.

What You Bring

2–8 years of full-stack software engineering experience building production systems. Experience at high-intensity technical companies (Tesla, Neuralink, SpaceX, Palantir, or similar) OR ex-founder/early-stage startup background. Hands-on experience building AI agents, LLM tooling, or model deployment in production. Strong systems-level programming ability (C, C++, Rust, or equivalent). CS, EE, or Operations Research degree from a strong technical program.

Requirements

Must be based in San Francisco (preferred) or New York City. Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident (green card holder) due to ITAR requirements. Visa sponsorship is not available.
