Founding Engineers: Build the AI That Builds AI

Full-time • Founding Team • Engineering • On-site (India or US)
What We're Building

We're tackling one of the biggest constraints in modern artificial intelligence: AI is still built through slow, manual engineering cycles.

Today's top AI engineers spend the majority of their time on repetitive loops of data curation, prompt refinement, evaluation, and fine-tuning-turning what should be a month of work into a year of effort and millions of dollars in spend. Tools have improved, but the process remains fundamentally broken.

We're building the first autonomous AI engineer -a system that can automate the full end-to-end workflow of creating, optimizing, and deploying high-performance AI models. This is not another MLOps platform; it's an intelligent agent that handles the total lifecycle of advanced AI development.

Our goal: enable companies to ship sophisticated, production-grade AI systems in weeks, not years. The team that productizes the expertise of the world's top AI engineers will form foundational infrastructure for the future of the industry. The opportunity here is enormous-and we're laser-focused on making it real.
Who We Are

The company is founded by an industry veteran with a decade of experience in large-scale AI and ML systems. Their background includes:
  • Core ML infrastructure and model optimization at one of the world's largest tech companies.
  • Technical leadership across applied AI teams powering products used daily by billions.
  • Published research contributions in machine learning and real-world model deployment.
We are seed-stage, well-funded by leading investors, and already supported by multiple design partners with active demand for the product.
Who We're Looking For

We're hiring our first founding engineers -people who want to shape a product, a company, and an industry from the ground up. This is not a place for someone who wants narrow scope or slow iteration. It's a role for those who want to build category-defining technology and own entire problem areas end-to-end.

You may be a great fit if you:
  • Have a deep passion for AI and the craft of building it.
  • Have strong product taste and an instinct for what feels seamless and magical.
  • Think from first principles and thrive in ambiguity.
  • Are a generalist capable of taking a problem from idea to customer impact.
  • Are collaborative, low-ego, and obsessed with quality.
  • Crave the chance to build from scratch and move fast.
You will contribute by:
  • Designing and building the core architecture of the autonomous AI engineer.
  • Solving difficult problems at the intersection of AI systems and distributed backend engineering.
  • Working directly with design partners to understand and translate real-world needs.
  • Helping define the early technical roadmap, processes, and engineering culture.
What We Offer

For the right people, compensation is not a constraint . Expect:
  • Top-of-market salary
  • Significant founding equity
  • Full benefits
  • The ability to shape a generational product and company
But the real value is in the role itself:
  • A Real Seat at the Table: As part of the true founding team, you will be involved in every major technical and product decision-not brought in after the direction is set.
  • Unbounded Ownership: You'll own critical, company-defining systems with autonomy to build, influence, and ship at the highest level.
  • Uncapped Growth: Early builders naturally become future leaders-Heads of Engineering, VPs, CTO, etc. Your trajectory is tied to your contribution and impact, not hierarchy.

This is a chance to do the most important work of your career-to build the infrastructure that will define the next era of AI.
