Job Description

About the Role

You'll join as the second engineering hire on a founding team building AI agents for industrial ingredient manufacturers, a sector responsible for the ingredients in virtually every food product on the market. This is a ground-floor role where you'll work directly with the founders on every major technical and product decision the company makes.

What You'll Do

  • Build backend systems that ingest and process messy real-world documents from customer ERPs and inboxes.

  • Develop LLM agents that complete complex, multi-page compliance and food safety documents.

  • Own features end to end across the full stack, picking up whatever the company needs next.

  • Ship fast and iterate on real user feedback rather than debating architecture.

What We're Looking For

  • Prior experience as a founding engineer, founder, or early engineering hire (first 1 to 5 engineers) at a seed or Series A startup.

  • Demonstrated 0-to-1 product ownership: you have built and shipped production products or major features end to end, not primarily maintained existing systems.

  • Full-stack range across backend, frontend, and infra
