Founding Product Engineer (Client Search) | AI + B2B SaaS | NYC (In-Person)
We're partnering with a seed-stage B2B SaaS startup building AI-powered sales software for the $9T chemicals industry, an industry still operating on PDFs, spreadsheets, and tribal knowledge.

This is a confidential search for one of their earliest product engineers.
The Role
This is a founding-level Product Engineer role...high ownership, high trust, real influence.
You'll work directly with the founders and customers to build the core product from the ground up, shaping not just features, but architecture, workflows, and engineering culture.

What You'll Do
Build and ship full-stack product features used by real customers

Influence product direction, engineering standards, and team culture
Operate effectively without heavy process or rigid specs
What Our Client Is Looking For
4–8 years of professional software engineering experience
Strong full-stack capability (React/TypeScript + Python)
High agency: you unblock yourself, move fast, and take ownership
Comfort operating in ambiguity and early-stage environments
Clear communicator who enjoys working directly with customers
Excited to work in-person in NYC (4–5 days/week)
Nice to Have
Experience with LLMs, AI agents, or modern AI tooling
Background building data-heavy or workflow-driven applications
Previous startup or founding-team experience
Why This Opportunity
Founding-level impact: your work will shape the product and company
Immediate customer exposure: what you build gets used right away
Meaningful equity: above-market equity for early builders
Small, sharp team: autonomy, trust, and speed over bureaucracy
Compensation
$140k–$200k base
Generous, above-market equity
