Seeking Founding Engineer
Hi All,
Posting here again to look for a founding engineer role.
Quick context on our startup:
Stage: Two paying SaaS customers (investment management + insurance verticals). Three active pilots and self-funded to date. $2M seed round in active VC conversations.
What we build: Production-grade AI agents for real estate deal documents, offering memoranda, PPMs, tour books, lender packages as our initial wedge. The thesis is narrow-and-deep vertical AI vs. horizontal foundation-model deployment.
Engineering problem: Structured extraction from messy source documents (40+ different rent roll formats, T-12s, broker packages), agent architecture with human-in-the-loop validation gates, brand template fidelity per customer, source-traceable output.
What we'd offer:
Founding-engineer-tier equity
Cash accrued as backpay during pre-funded period, paid in full at seed close or specific revenue milestone
Real product ownership, direct customer relationships, no enterprise overhead
Open to contract-to-hire if that's a better starting structure for you
What we're looking for: Engineer who's shipped real LLM/RAG/agent systems end-to-end with platform-architecture instincts. Specifically someone who thinks about both vertical execution today and horizontal platform tomorrow. Strong candidates have built or contributed to:
Multi-tenant agent architectures (per-customer configuration on shared infrastructure)
Document processing pipelines (extraction, transformation, structured generation)
Agent orchestration with state management, validation gates, and observability
Evaluation infrastructure that scales across document types and customer configurations
Production LLM ops (cost/latency optimization, retrieval/context management, version control)
Familiarity with emerging standards like MCP, function calling architectures, or similar
