Highlights
Founding engineering opportunity with significant ownership, direct collaboration with leadership, and the chance to build AI-powered products from the ground up in a fast-moving environment.
Description
Our client is a fast-growing AI startup building multimodal sales and lifecycle agents for youth enrichment businesses and families.
Its voice, SMS, and email agents help sports programs, academic centers, camps, and other providers answer families instantly, drive enrollment, and grow long-term relationships.
The seven-person company was founded by former Uber and DoorDash engineering leaders, has raised $3M, and reached seven figures of ARR in its first 4.5 months.
THE ROLE
This is a true founding engineering seat on a small, high-velocity team, with two hires planned.
You will own one of the company's core product domains end to end, make product decisions directly with founders and customers, and ship production features without a separate PM layer.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Own the B2B operating system, multimodal agent layer, family graph and memory system, or a new consumer product.
• Join customer calls, synthesize feedback, make roadmap tradeoffs, and ship without waiting for a PM.
• Build reliable voice, SMS, and email agents with low latency, strong response quality, and long-running state across channels.
• Establish evaluation, prompt-versioning, guardrail, and drift-detection systems for nondeterministic AI behavior.
• Work full stack across React and Next.js frontends, Node.js services, and Python voice pipelines.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• 3 to 8 years of full-stack product engineering experience.
• Strong production experience with TypeScript, Node.js, React, and Next.js.
• Evidence of shipping a zero-to-one product at a high-growth startup, as a founder, or on a new-product team inside a larger technology company.
• Depth in production voice or messaging agents, long-running agent state and memory, B2B2C or marketplace products, or agent evaluations and guardrails.
• Direct experience building products with LLM APIs or agent SDKs.
• Strong product judgment, high agency, and comfort talking with customers.
LOCATION AND COMPENSATION
• Five days per week in the Chelsea, New York City office.
• Candidates outside New York must be willing to relocate.
• Existing OPT or H-1B transfers may be considered.
• $180,000 to $250,000 base salary plus competitive founding-stage equity.
