San Francisco In-Office, 5 Days/Week Early-Stage AI Startup
Ready to build something from the ground up? We're working with an AI startup in San Francisco that's using LLMs to rethink how humans and machines interact with maps - and they're looking for their next foundational hire.
This is your chance to be Engineer at a company backed by real traction, a healthy sales pipeline, and a strong technical founding team. You'll work side-by-side with two seasoned founders and a sharp engineer (the current "blueprint" hire) to help deliver AI-powered products directly to paying customers.
Why This Role:
- Ownership from Day 1: You won't just write code - you'll shape the product, contribute to customer success, and define the engineering culture.
- No red tape: You'll move fast, wear multiple hats, and build things that ship.
- AI-first from the core: This isn't a "let's sprinkle some AI" type of company. You'll work with and around LLMs daily - and you don't need to be a researcher to do it.
- Real customers, real problems: This isn't a lab project. The company is growing, but delivery is bottlenecked - they need you to help scale it.
What You'll Bring:
- 1-4 years of software engineering experience - startup experience is a bonus, not a must.
- Strong coding skills and engineering fundamentals - regardless of your major, school, or last company.
- Hands-on use with AI/LLM tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.
- Excellent communication skills - you'll be talking to customers directly.
- A self-starter mindset - you thrive in fast-paced environments with minimal hand-holding.
- Willingness to be fully in-office in San Francisco - this is non-negotiable.
Bonus Points For:
- Side projects, GitHub activity, or anything that shows you love to build.
- Experience in customer-facing roles or high-context problem-solving.
- Curiosity, hustle, and that "I'll figure it out" energy.
Apply now and help build something people will actually use - powered by AI, driven by code, and led by builders who've done it before.
