About the Role
This is a founding engineering role at an early-stage AI/ML startup building enterprise-grade systems that enforce supplier contract terms and recover margin on spend at scale. You will join a small founding team, working directly on hard data problems, complex AI systems, and real-world impact for some of the world's largest organizations across CPG, retail, and healthcare.
What You'll Do
Build and ship full-stack product features end-to-end as a core member of the founding engineering team.
Solve hard data problems at scale: continuously verifying what enterprises have negotiated versus what they have paid across massive volumes of messy, fragmented data.
Make strategic product and technical decisions that shape the company's direction from day one.
Work directly with enterprise customers to understand their problems and deliver solutions.
Contribute to AI and LLM systems that drive measurable savings for large organizations.
What We're Looking For
0 to 8 years of software engineering experience.
Strong full-stack development skills, with experience in Python, TypeScript, and React.
Comfort working with AI and LLM systems and an interest in applying them to real enterprise problems.
Experience or genuine interest in data-heavy, high-volume problem domains (e.g. finance, supply chain, procurement, or similar).
A builder mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, eager to own problems end-to-end, and motivated by working in a founding-team environment.
Strong communication skills for collaborating with technical and non-technical enterprise stakeholders.
Compensation & Benefits
Salary range: $200,000 to $225,000 USD annually.
Founding-team equity.
Visa sponsorship is available.
Location
On-site in San Francisco, California, United States.
