About the Company
Our client is a venture-backed startup building the next generation of revenue infrastructure for B2B AI companies, starting with intelligent deal pricing and quoting. They are replacing legacy tooling in a category that is being disrupted this year, and they already count fast-growing enterprises and AI companies among their customers. The team is small, well-backed by top-tier investors, and moving quickly toward its next stage of growth.
Founded 2024 · ~12 people · Industry: B2B SaaS, AI, Fintech
The RoleAs a Founding Engineer, you would join a small, product-minded engineering team and own core features end-to-end for a fast-growing pricing and quoting platform. This is a backend-leaning full-stack role with real scope: you would ship the product that customers run their revenue on and help shape early product decisions.
What you'll be doing
- Building and shipping core backend features for the pricing and quoting platform
- Developing AI-powered agents launching in the near term
- Owning product features end-to-end, from design through implementation
- Contributing to product decisions and understanding the reasoning behind what you build
- Working cross-functionally in a small company, including occasional support of customer onboarding
Tech stack: TypeScript, Python, React, SQL, PostgreSQL, Express, Tailwind, LLMs, AI Agents
Requirements- Roughly 4 to 8 years of full-stack software engineering experience
- A track record of owning features end-to-end within a small engineering team
- Strong backend engineering skills in TypeScript or Python
- Solid experience with SQL, ideally PostgreSQL or similar
- Experience building products at a venture-backed startup
- A strong ownership mentality, comfortable driving projects without waiting for direction
- Experience at a CPQ, pricing, or revenue infrastructure company
- Hands-on experience shipping AI/ML products, LLMs, or agents in production
- Full-stack range with React or a similar frontend framework
- Founding-level scope and ownership on a product customers depend on
- Strong investor backing and early traction with well-known customers
- A category at an inflection point, with room to shape the product early
- Competitive base plus generous early-stage equity, and a full benefits package
- Location: San Francisco, CA
- Work policy: On-site, 5 days a week (near Montgomery Station)
- Compensation: $160K-$200K + equity
- Visa sponsorship: Transfers only (OPT, H1B transfers)
- Employment type: Full-time
