About the Role
Join a pre-seed AI startup as Engineer #4 on the founding team, working directly with the CTO and fellow founding engineers. This is a high-ownership, fast-paced role where you'll ship features to production daily and own entire product areas from concept to deployment.

- Collaborate closely with the CTO and founding team to define technical direction
- Model and manage data using PostgreSQL and Supabase
What We're Looking For
- Required: Proficiency in full-stack development with TypeScript/JavaScript and Python
- Backend experience with Node.js and REST API design/consumption
- Frontend experience with React for building scalable UIs
- Experience with PostgreSQL and Supabase for data modeling and storage
- Hands-on experience integrating AI/ML features via providers like OpenAI or Claude
- Ability to thrive in a founding-stage startup environment — owning features and shipping rapidly
- Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
- Willingness to work on-site in San Francisco (hackerhouse environment) or commute as needed
- Location & Work Arrangement
- This role is based on-site in San Francisco, CA
- . The team works out of a shared hackerhouse/office environment. Visa sponsorship is available.
