About The Role

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a founding engineering role at an a16z-backed AI startup building go-to-market automation tools for sales and marketing teams. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founding team in New York, owning major product areas end-to-end and shipping features that directly shape the product and its customers' outcomes.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Collaborate closely with founders to define product requirements, build features, and iterate rapidly on customer feedback.
  • Build and maintain core product infrastructure — APIs, backend systems, and production-ready AI features powering customer GTM workflows.
  • Own features from initial development through production deployment, with full autonomy and accountability.
  • Join customer calls to understand needs, demo solutions, and translate real-world feedback into product improvements.
  • Leverage AI coding agents and the latest developer tooling to accelerate development velocity.
  • Help establish AI-native engineering workflows and processes that compound the team's output over time.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience with a strong track record of shipping and iterating in production environments.
  • Proficiency in Python and TypeScript for building APIs, backend systems, and user interfaces.
  • Solid data modeling fundamentals and experience designing scalable production systems.
  • Hands-on experience building and deploying AI/ML features in production.
  • Comfort using AI coding agents and LLM-based development tools as part of daily workflow.
  • Experience shipping features end-to-end — from requirements through deployment — in early-stage startup settings.
  • Ownership-oriented mindset with a desire for real influence over product and roadmap decisions.
  • Bonus: Experience with GTM workflows, outbound campaigns, or customer-facing technical work.
  • Bonus: Experience building interfaces consumed by both human users and AI agents.
