Founding AI Engineer – Standout

Build the agents that are already running our business.

Two weeks after launch we hit $400k run rate, crossed 1M+ views on X, and 4x'd our intro volume — driven by AI agents that vet candidates, assess companies, and make the calls on who gets introduced to whom. There's no legacy codebase here, no recruiter ops team to appease: the agents are the product, and you'll be one of the people building them from the ground up.

What you'll do:

• Design and ship the autonomous agents that represent candidates and companies — from technical assessment to fit-matching to introduction logic
• Build and iterate on our CLI-based technical evaluation tool, replacing resumes with something that actually measures capability
• Own agentic workflows end-to-end using LangGraph and Anthropic's models, moving from prototype to production fast
• Work across the stack (Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Prisma, OpenSearch) to get agent output into the hands of founders and candidates
• Instrument and improve match quality, using real hiring outcomes to tighten the loop
• Ship without a spec — you'll own entire surfaces of the product with founders, not middle managers

What we're looking for:

• 2+ years building production software, ideally with real ownership of a product surface
• Hands-on experience building with LLMs — agents, RAG, structured generation, or eval pipelines, not just API calls
• Comfortable working fast with AI-assisted tools (Cursor, Claude Code, v0) and shipping without detailed specs
• Strong systems thinking — you can reason about matching, ranking, and evaluation logic, not just UI
• Bonus: experience with LangGraph, agent orchestration frameworks, or building marketplace/two-sided matching products
• Bonus: you've worked at or founded an early-stage startup and know what "founding" actually means day to day
