Job Description

Our client is an AI-first startup revolutionizing the recruiting industry with autonomous AI agents that replace traditional agency recruiters. Their mission is to build a fully automated talent acquisition engine that sources, evaluates, and engages candidates—without human intervention. If you believe the future of hiring is AI-driven and want to build the next category-defining company, this is your chance.

The Role

As the Founding Engineer, you will lead the development and scaling of their AI-driven recruiter product. You’ll be responsible for architecting, building, and deploying machine learning models, automation workflows, and integrating large language models (LLMs) to create an end-to-end autonomous recruitment system.

You’ll work alongside a business-focused founder and early team to iterate quickly, secure funding, and bring the product to market. We’re looking for a hands-on builder who thrives in fast-paced environments, thinks in first principles, and is excited about disrupting a massive industry.

What You’ll Do

• Own the Technology Strategy – Architect and develop the core AI agent infrastructure, automation layers, and integrations with hiring platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, ATS systems).
• AI/ML Development – Build and fine-tune LLMs and agent-based systems for autonomous sourcing, screening, and candidate outreach.
• Product Development – Rapidly prototype and iterate on AI-driven features based on user feedback and business needs.
• Scale & Infrastructure – Deploy scalable, cost-efficient systems that handle high-volume recruitment workflows.
• Team & Culture – Hire and lead a top-tier technical team as the company grows.
• Fundraising & Strategy – Collaborate on fundraising efforts, pitch to investors, and define the long-term vision of the company.

Who You Are

• Technical Leader & Builder – You have a strong background in AI/ML, LLMs, and automation, with experience deploying real-world AI products.
• Experienced Engineer – 5+ years in software engineering, with expertise in Python, AI frameworks (e.g., LangChain, OpenAI API, Pinecone, Vector Databases), and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP).
• Startup Mindset – You move fast, embrace ambiguity, and can ship product iterations quickly.
• Visionary & Hands-On – You balance strategic thinking with hands-on coding and problem-solving.
• Deep Interest in AI Agents & Recruiting – You believe in the future of AI-driven hiring and want to build the technology that powers it.

Nice to Have

• Previous startup experience, ideally as a technical founder or early engineer.
• Experience with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), multi-agent systems, or workflow automation.
