Description For Founding Engineer

Join a rapidly growing AI platform company that's revolutionizing how America's 33M SMBs operate. As the first full-stack founding engineer, you'll work directly with ex-Meta founder and ex-Microsoft PM in New York City. The company has shown impressive growth - 10x last year, 20% MoM, with $3M seed funding from Pear Ventures.

The platform serves as an SMB Customer Revenue Engine, featuring AI agents for conversation handling, an intelligence layer for learning from interactions, and outbound AI driving revenue growth. The vision is to become the ultimate SMB super app - a comprehensive platform managing everything from customer acquisition to retention.

You'll have an instrumental role in shaping the product's evolution, working across the full stack using technologies like TypeScript, React, FastAPI, Postgres, Twilio, and LiveKit. Beyond coding, you'll engage directly with customers, influence the roadmap, and help close major deals.

The role requires 2-5 years of experience in fast-moving product engineering teams, strong full-stack skills, and a customer-obsessed mindset. You'll join a team of 12 people, with plans to grow the NYC hub to five people in the next quarter. The company offers competitive compensation, generous equity, unlimited PTO, and company-paid meals.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a hands-on engineer who wants to make a significant impact in a fast-growing startup backed by the investors behind DoorDash and Gusto. You'll be integral in building and scaling a product that's already serving 300+ businesses and targeting 1000+ by year-end.
