Role Overview
As a Founding Tech Lead Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in shaping both our product and our company. You’ll work directly with the founders to design, build, and scale our platform - setting the technical foundation and influencing culture from day one. This is a chance to be part of the 0 → 1 journey and build something generational.
This is not a standard 9–5 job. We operate with a milestone mindset— progress is measured by what we build and deliver, not by hours at a desk. If you’re driven by outcomes and impact, this is the right place.
What You’ll Do
• Build and scale our core platform from the ground up.
• Work across the entire stack: infrastructure, data systems, backend, and user experience.
• Shape the product direction alongside the founders and our early customers.
• Harness unstructured enterprise data and evaluate LLMs to drive real product impact.
• Ensure technical specifications remain the single source of truth across all deals.
• Manage and mentor a development team to deliver high-quality features at startup
speed.
• Work closely with the CTO to define and execute the technical roadmap.
• Review code, enforce best practices, and ensure the architecture is clean, scalable, and robust.
What You Have
• Strong programming skills and deep Computer Science fundamentals.
• Experience working with large-scale data systems and improving performance, latency, and other critical KPIs.
• A track record of building and scaling products, startup experience is a major plus.
• Ability to move fast, work across technologies, and adapt as the product evolves.
• A customer-first mindset, focused on building products people truly love.
• Hunger, smart, and humble our three core values.
