Job Title: Founding Fullstack Engineer

Salary: $3k-$8k monthly stipend + Equity

Company Description: VC-backed industrial AI startup

Job Description:
As the first engineering hire, you will build the foundational infrastructure for an AI-native platform designed to accelerate complex engineering workflows. You will own end-to-end features across a modern stack, developing everything from LLM-powered data pipelines to intuitive interfaces that transform how engineering teams collaborate on high-stakes physical products.

Location: San Francisco, USA or London, UK

Why this role is remarkable:

• Significant founding equity (up to 5%) and the chance to architect a mission-critical platform from the ground up.

• Work directly with technical founders who combine deep domain expertise in data infrastructure and complex engineering industries.

• Solve high-impact problems by building advanced AI agents that automate fragmented data workflows for leading industrial design partners.

What you will do:

• Design and implement a multi-layer architecture including live data synchronization and LLM-powered semantic memory systems.

• Develop a flexible operation layer that allows users to create custom automation tools and AI agents for technical processes.

• Own the full product lifecycle from backend data engineering in Python to frontend development using React and Next.js.

The ideal candidate:

• Early-career engineer (1-4+ years) with a track record of shipping production-grade software and making independent architectural decisions.

• Strong proficiency in Python, SQL, and Docker, with a particular emphasis on building robust data infrastructure or backend systems.

• Experience or a strong interest in high-stakes engineering sectors like robotics, automotive, or aerospace, preferably within a fast-paced startup environment.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
