Founding Engineer (AI/ML)
About the Role
This is a founding engineering role at a pre-seed AI recruiting marketplace, where you will own the entire intelligence layer: the recommendation systems, ranking algorithms, and LLM-powered matching that connect candidates with the right roles. It sits at the core of how the product works, and you will build it from the ground up working directly with the founding team.
What You'll Do
Own the AI/ML intelligence layer end to end, including recommendation, ranking, and retrieval systems.
Build and iterate on LLM-powered matching that measurably improves candidate-to-role alignment.
Take features from problem definition all the way to production, shipping on a daily cadence.
Architect and maintain the production data pipelines and services that models depend on.
Partner directly with founders to translate product goals into shipped systems.
What We're Looking For
2 to 5 years of production software engineering experience, with genuine applied ML depth and models shipped to real users.
Hands-on experience building recommender systems, ranking algorithms, or ML-powered matching in p
