A Bit About Us
A stealth-mode, venture-backed AI startup working at the intersection of software and hardware is looking for a Founding Engineer to join its small, mission-driven team. This company has already secured capital from top-tier investors and is building intelligent, real-world products designed to operate in environments where data is messy, constrained, and valuable. If you’re excited by low-level systems, machine learning, and seeing your code come to life on a physical device—this is the opportunity to own the full engineering lifecycle.
Why join us?
Great Benefits, Growth Opportunity, Great Culture, PTO, 401K, and much more!
Job Details
You’ll join as one of the first engineers and help shape both the product and the culture of the company. This startup is solving complex problems involving real-time sensor data, edge computing, and production-grade ML—blending embedded systems with modern software architecture. You’ll work directly with the founding team to architect, build, and deploy systems that interact with real-world environments. This role is ideal for someone who has meaningful experience shipping products end-to-end and thrives in high-ownership, low-bureaucracy environments.
Responsibilities
Jobot is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We provide an inclusive work environment that celebrates diversity and all qualified candidates receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.
