Founding Full-Stack Engineer
On-site · Engineering, Product & Tech · Full time San Francisco, California, United States
Our client is a stealth, seed-stage startup building an AI-powered wearable platform for industrial field technicians - running a real-time computer-vision and agentic AI system directly on smart-glasses hardware, live today with major data-center, energy, and industrial customers across multiple countries. Backed by a $5M seed round and founded by researchers from Harvard/NASA (computer vision, published at NeurIPS and ICCV) and MIT (machine learning, ex-quant researcher).
The bet: computer vision and agentic vision-language models (VLMs) grounded in real integrations with legacy enterprise systems (ServiceNow, SAP, Salesforce) — not another LLM wrapper. The industrial data this generates is also laying the groundwork for robotics automation down the line.
As Founding Full-Stack Engineer, you'll own the product layer end-to-end: the real-time video/data pipeline connecting wearable hardware to the AI core under tight latency budgets and unreliable connectivity, the backend APIs and data layer, and the frontend/mobile client customers actually touch.
What you'll do
- Build and own the real-time pipeline linking wearable hardware to the AI system
- Design and ship backend APIs and the core data layer
- Build the frontend/mobile client customers use daily
- Work directly with
