About the Role
Join an early-stage AI company building growth tools for consumer brands. As a founding senior engineer, you will build core product systems hands-on, help shape the engineering culture and architecture, and contribute to a team focused on helping merchants improve growth operations.
What You'll Do
Build data infrastructure that tracks merchant lifecycle events and connects actions to outcomes.
Develop agentic systems that assess growth operations, identify opportunities, and execute improvements automatically.
Own full-stack development of the growth engine, with a strong focus on backend systems and infrastructure.
Build reliable integrations with commerce, advertising, and marketing platforms, along with orchestration tooling.
Mentor engineers while remaining hands-on with day-to-day product development.
What We're Looking For
Five to eight years of full-stack engineering experience, with strong backend experience in data infrastructure, event systems, and API integrations.
Experience building and owning production-grade agentic or LLM-powered systems integrated with third-party APIs.
Experience leading or mentoring engineers, and the ability to prioritize effectively and create structure in ambiguous environments.
Familiarity with Python, TypeScript, LLMs, and commerce or marketing integrations such as Shopify, advertising APIs, and email marketing platforms.
Early-stage startup, founding engineer, or comparable 0-to-1 product-building experience is valued, as is a strong computer science or engineering foundation.
