About the role

We are looking for a Founding Engineer with 1-5 years of experience to join as the third engineer at a high-growth startup building the AI-powered operating system for the $3T electronic components supply chain. You'll work directly with the CTO, own entire product streams from day one, and build the data infrastructure that powers pricing intelligence for some of the world's largest distributors.

What will you be doing?

  • Building and hardening robust data pipelines that process live production data from legacy ERP systems (some installed in the 90s) for customers doing $100M+ in annual revenue
  • Owning your own product stream end-to-end — from customer conversations to shipped features — within your first two weeks
  • Deploying and customizing data ingestion tools across multiple customers with different file formats, ERPs, and integration requirements
  • Communicating directly with non-technical customers (typically 40s-60s age range) to learn the industry and gather requirements
  • Contributing to AI agent development and LLM-powered data ingestion as the foundational data layer matures
