Job description

About the Role

This is a rare, high-impact founding engineer position at an early-stage consumer AI startup building a real-time, AI-enabled platform to digitize human connection. You'll work directly alongside the founder - a Thiel Fellow - as one of the first engineers, shaping both the product and the engineering culture from the ground up. This is a fully on-site role in San Francisco.

You'll take on broad technical ownership across a bold consumer product focused on scalable, meaningful human interactions - integrating cutting-edge real-time video, audio, and memory systems.

What You'll Do
  • Work across all aspects of the application alongside the founder, designers, and other engineers.

  • Build new systems for memory, retrieval, proactivity, and AI responsiveness.

  • Integrate the latest internal and external real-time video generation and audio synthesis models.

  • Set the bar for engineering quality and help recruit world-class talent to the team.

  • Dogfood the product extensively - you genuinely care about real user value and quality.

What We're Looking For

Required:

  • 2-7 years of software engineering experience (not a new grad - some professional engineering experience is required).

  • Computer Science degree from a top-tier university.

  • Strong CS fundamentals.

  • High energy, exceptionally bright, and driven to build fast.

  • Proven entrepreneurial spirit - startup exposure or experience in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.

  • Track record of technically complex side projects or independent builds.

  • Comfortable with - and excited by - early-stage chaos and the demands of a founding team environment.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with real-time media, vision or video models, audio synthesis, or voice systems.

  • Experience with memory and retrieval systems or agentic AI architectures.

  • Proficiency in Python, including typed scientific Python.

  • Familiarity with AI-assisted or agentic development tooling.

Compensation & Benefits
  • Salary: $175,000 - $225,000 per year

  • Equity as a founding team member

  • Visa sponsorship available

Location

This role is fully on-site in San Francisco, CA. Candidates must be willing and able to work in-person full-time. Remote work is not available for this position.
