Founding AI Engineer

Stealth AI Startup | San Francisco | Backed by VC Icons

$150k–$250k + Founder-Level Equity / Ground-Floor Seat

This isn’t one of those “join our growing engineering team” ads. This is different.

I’m working with a stealth-mode, VC-backed AI company that’s rewriting the rules. Backed by the same investors fueling the most iconic AI companies of this decade, they’re building something bold, in a space nobody else has dared to touch.

The founding team? Think researchers whose work you’ve probably read, leaders who’ve run labs at the very top AI orgs, builders who’ve already taken companies public. They’ve done it before, and they’re about to do it again.

Now they’re looking for one of their very first AI Engineer in San Francisco, a ground-floor role where you’ll shape the DNA of the product, the culture, and the company itself.

Why this role is different

You’re not joining an engine: you’re helping build it.
Zero-to-one pace: ship, iterate, and scale with speed.
Industry-first mission: using frontier AI to break open a market untouched by tech.

Who they’re looking for

Python wizardry + systems-level depth Unix
Experience wrangling HPC, optimizing performance, and writing CUDA
Hands-on with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch) and large-scale data pipelines.
A true builder who thrives where the path isn’t paved.

Why join?

Founding-level impact + serious equity
Direct access to world-class founders + investors
Chance to shape a rocket ship from day zero
Competitive salary, benefits, and the kind of upside you don’t find twice

If you’re ready to do the best work of your career, at the frontier of AI, let’s talk. I’ll give you the inside information.
