Description For Founding Engineer (Applied AI)

Centralize is revolutionizing how revenue teams operate by building an AI-powered deal collaboration platform. As a founding engineer focused on Applied AI, you'll be at the forefront of developing cutting-edge AI solutions that transform enterprise sales.

You'll work directly with founders who bring experience from Facebook Shops, Slack Huddles, and Modern Treasury. The company is backed by Y Combinator, Salesforce Ventures, and notable industry leaders including Slack's co-founder Cal Henderson and ex-CPO Noah Weiss.

The role offers an exciting opportunity to:

  • Own features end-to-end and architect core AI systems including SOTA research agents, chatbots, and RAG pipelines
  • Build and scale LLM infrastructure that powers a new category of GTM tooling
  • Work across the full technology stack to deliver customer-facing solutions
  • Drive innovation in sales technology through applied AI research

The ideal candidate combines strong technical expertise in LLM/NLP with excellent communication skills and a passion for building products. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment, implementing research papers, and delivering high-quality solutions that delight customers.

This is a unique opportunity to join a well-funded early-stage startup that's already gaining traction with customers like Sendoso, mParticle, and Navattic. You'll help shape the future of enterprise sales while working with cutting-edge AI technology.

The role offers competitive compensation ($100K-$160K salary with 0.75%-1.25% equity) and the flexibility of working remotely within the US or from the San Francisco office. The company values drive and potential over experience, making this an excellent opportunity for ambitious engineers looking to make a significant impact.
