About This Job


Founding Engineer – Full Stack

San Francisco HQ | Onsite | Visa Sponsorship OK | Equity + Cash


Who We Are

We’re a stealth-mode startup rethinking industrial equipment reliability for sectors that produce more than 25 % of U.S. GDP—manufacturing, mining, energy, and oil & gas. Backed by $2 million in pre-seed funding and currently serving multiple multi-billion dollar customers, we’re building an AI-powered platform that leverages agentic workflows and natural language interfaces to make it drastically easier for companies to keep their critical equipment up and running. Our focus is to not simply to deliver software, but tangible impact, resulting in a better quality of life for our users and operational excellence across production environments.


The Role:

Build core functionality and features that will have a drastic impact on our customers’ ability to drive production of their manufactured goods.
Become an expert in the operational system of maintenance and reliability, learning to attack problems with a fused perspective of software and industrial engineering.
Work directly with our customers’ frontline personnel to develop a product that not only allows them to work more efficiently, but fundamentally improves their quality of life.
Be a leader in building out our engineering function, helping set the standards for how we work internally and with customers.
Partner with the founders on critical decision making to determine product roadmap, customer scope, and ultimately details that define the trajectory of the our business.


What We Require:

Availability to work in-person in San Francisco / relocate by September 2025.
5+ years of staff engineering or 2-3 years at a scaling startup with track record of production-code.
Fluent in React, Python (FastAPI), AWS (ECS/Lambda), Terraform.
Familiarity with CI/CD, observability, and infrastructure-as-code.
Proven ability to ship features end to end, knowing how to balance 0-1 iterating versus production-grade scale.
Plus: Experience building AI agent workflows, APIs, and LLM/RAG pipelines

You May Be a Good Fit If:

You’re a product-minded, full-stack builder who is obsessed with the power of software and respects the messiness of the physical world.
You have first-hand experience or can deeply empathize with the reality of working in highly complex operational environments.
Ambiguity is where you excel, understanding how to balance speed versus perfectionism.
You’re just as comfortable prototyping a feature in 24 hours to immediately help a single user as you are hardening that single feature to scale to thousands.
You care about writing clean code, operating with a level of efficiency in everything you do, and will stop at nothing to fully solve problems for users.


What We Offer:

Competitive compensation through salary and equity
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
Visa sponsorship
Relocation stipend
Additional lifestyle stipends (meals, health & wellness, etc)
