About the role

About the Role: Join an early-stage AI company as a founding engineer building a geospatial intelligence platform. You will own systems end-to-end and help shape technical and product direction as the team grows.
What You'll Do: Own platform modules from architecture through production deployment. Build and improve data ingestion pipelines, spatial computation layers, agent orchestration, and product surfaces. Ship production software quickly while balancing technical quality, product intuition, and customer outcomes. Identify technical gaps independently and propose and deliver what the system needs next. Work closely with the founder to shape early technical and product direction.
What We're Looking For: At least 3 years of experience shipping production systems as a software engineer. Full-stack experience building and owning production systems across backend and frontend. Fluency with current AI and software technologies. Experience taking initiative in a startup or early-stage environment. Production experience with data ingestion, spatial computation, or agent orchestration, and familiarity with geospatial or spatial data systems. Authorization to work in the United States through an H-1B transfer. Applied AI research, compelling side projects, competitive programming, or other evidence of strong technical ability is valued.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: $150,000 to $350,000 annually. H-1B transfers only; new H-1B sponsorship is not available.
Location: On-site in San Francisco, California, United States.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
