A venture-backed startup is hiring a senior full-stack engineer to help build cutting-edge applied AI products. This is a high-impact role for someone who combines deep technical skill with product intuition—and thrives in fast, early-stage environments.

What They're Looking For

• 5–10 years at Tier 1 venture-backed startups (Series B or earlier only)

• Prior founder or founding engineer experience preferred

• At least 6 months building with applied AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)

• CS or STEM degree from a top 10 university

Core Tech Stack

• Backend: Python, Django

• Frontend: TypeScript, Vercel

• Infrastructure: AWS ECS, RDS/Postgres, Redis, Terraform

• AI/ML: OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude Code, Cursor

Ideal Candidate

• Bias for action and fast execution

• Curious, product-minded, and comfortable thinking beyond the code

• Strong ownership mentality; founder archetypes do well here

Why This Role

• Work directly with a high-caliber founding team

• Build zero-to-one AI products with real-world impact

• Full ownership across the stack in a high-velocity environment

If you're AI-native, startup-tested, and ready to build the future—this team wants to meet you
