About the role
Midship is hiring a Founding Applied AI Engineer (Software Engineer) to help build the core agentic engine of our product.
You will work directly with the founders and CTO to design and ship agentic AI systems that perform real audit work end to end. This is not a research role and not a model-tuning role. The focus is on building reliable, production-grade AI workflows that solve concrete problems for customers.
You will be working on how AI agents plan, execute, and verify complex, messy real-world tasks. Audit work is the perfect problem definition for AI agents to solve, so you will be defining new best practices for the future of software.
This is an early, high-ownership role. You will shape core product architecture, influence how our agents behave, and help define how internal audit software is built going forward. You should be excited about working close to users, iterating quickly, and shipping things that get used immediately.
We are an in-person team based in San Francisco. This is one of our first non-founder hires.
