About the role

About the Role

Join the founding engineering team at an early-stage B2B SaaS company building AI tools for industrial ingredient manufacturers. This hands-on role spans product engineering, backend systems, frontend experiences, infrastructure, and AI agents that help customers process complex operational documents.

What You'll Do

  • Build backend systems that ingest and process documents from customer business systems and inboxes.

  • Develop production AI agents that complete complex, multi-page compliance and food safety documents.

  • Own products end to end, from customer discovery and problem definition through architecture, launch, and iteration.

  • Ship quickly, gather feedback from real users, and improve products based on how they work in practice.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 4 years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of hands-on production coding.

  • Previous experience as a founder, co-founder, CTO, VP of Engineering, or engineering leader at an early-stage startup, and interest in returning to an individual contributor role.

  • End-to-end ownership of products or major features used by real customers, including experience taking products from 0 to 1.

  • Strong full-stack skills, including the ability to take a feature from backend service through to the user interface.

  • Experience building backend services that process real-world data and designing relational databases such as Postgres.

  • Production experience with AI, LLMs, agents, search, RAG, or automation; document processing and unstructured data extraction are relevant.

  • Familiarity with Kotlin and Spring Boot or another JVM backend, React and Next.js, cloud platforms such as GCP, and production model integrations is helpful. Experience with other stacks is welcome.

  • Interest in fast-moving product development and solving problems in manufacturing, supply chain, or other established industries.

Base salary is $180,000 to $250,000 annually, plus 0.5% to 1.5% equity. Visa sponsorship is not available.
