    Description

    Founding Software Engineer — San Francisco, CA (in-person)


    About us
    Our partner is building a one-person AI marketing service. We went from 0 to $500k ARR in 90 days while in stealth and are now assembling an all-star team to launch and scale.

    The role
    Work directly with the CTO to design, build, and scale the world’s first AI-native B2B content generation platform. You will own mission-critical surfaces, ship quickly, and set engineering culture from day one.

    What you’ll do
    • Own a core pillar such as web scraping at scale, pipeline optimization, or multimodal/voice AI interfaces
    • Create novel AI-native experiences that combine text and video generativity
    • Build net-new features and harden them against unexpected user behavior
    • Drive ideas end to end: talk to users (if you want), translate needs into designs, and ship

    You might be a fit if you have
    • Excellence and ambition: you’ve been best-in-class at something and want to be the best in the world
    • Unorthodox thinking: you spot non-obvious angles and move faster and smarter because of it
    • Dedication: high-tempo work ethic, comfortable working most days alongside a like-minded team
    • EQ and agency: you read the room, communicate crisply, and believe you can learn almost anything
    • Preference for in-person collaboration in San Francisco

    We’re especially excited by people who
    • Live in the backend and obsess over performant, scalable systems
    • Breathe Figma and care about interaction design as much as implementation
    • Built their own scrapers when none existed
    • Have dabbled in short-form video creation and enjoy crafting compelling content

    Location and setup
    In-person in San Francisco.

    Compensation
    Base salary: $150k–$250k, plus meaningful equity.
