About the role
Be the first engineer at Wildcard.
This is not a role for someone looking to be handed a clean roadmap, a settled market, and a narrow lane.
This is for someone who wants to help shape a company while it is still becoming itself.
At Wildcard, you will not just write code. You will help determine what gets built, what gets cut, what matters now, what can wait, and how the company learns. You will have real influence over whether this company succeeds. Not in a symbolic way. In a direct way.
We are looking for a founding engineer who has already seen some version of the early-stage journey before. Maybe you were a founder. Maybe you were early at a Seed, Series A, or Series B company. Maybe you have been inside a fast-moving environment where speed, judgment, and ownership mattered more than process. What matters is that you know what it feels like when things change quickly, scope has to tighten, customers are asking for something critical, and the team still has to ship.
Who you’ll work with
You’ll work directly with me, Kaushik Mahorker, founder of Wildcard.
Before starting Wildcard, I was at Scale AI, where I built the e-commerce enrichment engine behind the company’s largest pilot, spanning 400K SKUs, 2.8M attributes, and hundreds of taxonomies, helping secure $15M+ in contracts with major retailers and marketplaces.
That experience made one thing clear: shopping discovery is being rebuilt for an AI-first world, and most brands are not prepared for the shift.
That’s why I started Wildcard.
You’ll be joining early enough to help shape not just the product, but the company itself, with direct influence over architecture, product direction, customer outcomes, and whether we win.
