Founding Engineer
Dataleap, San Francisco
The role
We need someone who operates at CTO-level. Someone who can take a vague problem, scope it, build it end-to-end, and ship something that actually provides value. Backend-heavy, AI-native, able to go full stack when needed. No hand-holding. No waiting for specs. You're a full-stack engineer, an AI engineer, and a product engineer in one person. Former founder is a strong plus.
What you will do
- Own large parts of the product end-to-end, from user insight to production.
- Build and improve our agentic systems. Make them more accurate, more reliable, more powerful.
- Work at the frontier of AI engineering: context engineering, tool use, agent architectures.
- Talk to users. Understand their pain. Scope features that actually solve problems.
- Push AI-first development — Claude Code, coding agents, automation. You should be obsessed with scaling yourself.
- Review code fast and maintain a high bar across the codebase.
Our stack: Go backend, Vite/TypeScript frontend.
