Founding Engineer
$150k - $250kAlpha Associates Recruitment
I'm partnering with an ambitious early-stage AI startup looking to hire a Founding Engineer to help build the core backend infrastructure powering the next generation of AI agents. This is an excellent opportunity for engineers with 0-7 years experience who have shipped production software at a FAANG company or high-growth VC- backed startup and enjoy building products from 0→1. The role is predominantly backend-focused, working with TypeScript, APIs, distributed systems and cloud infrastructure, while giving you the opportunity to own projects end-to-end and influence both product and technical direction from day one. If you're looking to make a significant impact in a fast-moving startup environment, I'd be keen to speak with you. Location: San Francisco (5 days onsite) Compensation: $150k-$250k + 0.5-1% equity #J-18808-Ljbffr Alpha Associates Recruitment
