Founding Engineer Intern

About the Role Join a fast-moving, pre-seed AI startup that is redefining how top talent finds their next opportunity — automating the headhunting process end-to-end with an agentic AI system. As a Founding Engineer Intern , you'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founding team, shipping production features daily and owning meaningful pieces of the product from ideation to deployment. This is a high-ownership, high-output role for a builder who thrives in lean, early-stage environments. This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco, CA . Visa sponsorship is available. What You'll Do Build and ship end-to-end features to production on a daily cadence. Collaborate closely with the CTO and founding team to own components from ideation through deployment. Develop and iterate on a fully agentic system designed to automate headhunting end-to-end. Engage directly with users to measure impact on hiring speed and candidate experience. Contribute to a fast, high-output, low-ego engineering culture. Work in a hybrid/hacker-house setup with a strong ownership mindset. What We're Looking For Dealbreakers (must-haves): 6+ months of professional or project-based experience building production features in TypeScript and React . Full-stack development focus with a demonstrated ability to build and ship end-to-end features — not primarily an ML engineer or heavily specialized in a single language (e.g., Python, C++). Currently enrolled in or actively pursuing a degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field . Required: Production experience with Supabase, Prisma, and Typesense in a React/TypeScript stack. Experience using Cursor as a development tool. Portfolio or GitHub showcasing full-stack projects and open-source contributions. Standout credentials or projects — e.g., strong GPA, notable university, active GitHub, or recognized side projects. Prior experience in entrepreneurial or early-stage environments with a rapid iteration and shipping cadence. Strong ownership mindset — comfortable driving features from concept to production independently. Nice to Have: Openness to working in hacker-house settings, including locations in Latin America. Comfort with a high-intensity, 7-day-a-week work pace during the internship. Tech Stack Languages/Frameworks: TypeScript, React Tools & Infrastructure: Cursor, Supabase, Prisma, Typesense Location & Logistics Location: San Francisco, CA (hybrid) Visa sponsorship: Available Employment type: Internship
