Founding Senior AI/ML Engineer – Generative AI & Agentic Systems Build From Zero. Own the Technology. Help Define What's Next in AI.
Location: Remote | United States
Employment: Full-Time | Founding Engineering TeamThe Opportunity What if your next role gave you the opportunity to architect an AI platform from the ground up — and help shape the future of an entire company? We're partnering with an ambitious AI technology startup developing a next-generation platform that transforms complex business processes through intelligent automation, generative AI, and advanced machine learning. We're searching for an exceptional Founding Senior AI/ML Engineer who loves building, thrives in fast-moving environments, and wants to turn cutting-edge AI into powerful, real-world products. This isn't about maintaining existing systems. It's about building the technology, defining the architecture, and creating something entirely new. You'll work closely with the founding team, own critical engineering decisions, and help bring ambitious AI capabilities to life. What You'll DoBuild From the Ground Up: Architect, develop, and deploy scalable, production-grade AI/ML systems. Pioneer Agentic AI: Develop intelligent agents, LLM-powered workflows, and advanced automation capabilities. Advance Document Intelligence: Build AI systems that understand, extract, reason over, and process complex documents and unstructured data. Engineer for Scale: Design robust AI pipelines, model integrations, APIs, and cloud-based infrastructure. Own the Full Lifecycle: Take ideas from experimentation and prototyping through production deployment and optimization. Shape the Future: Influence technical architecture, engineering standards, and the long-term AI roadmap alongside the founders. What You'll Bring 5+ years of professional software engineering, AI/ML, or related experience building production systems. Strong expertise in Python, machine learning, and modern AI frameworks. Hands-on experience with LLMs, generative AI, NLP, embeddings, and RAG architectures. Experience developing AI agents, intelligent workflows, or model orchestration systems. Strong understanding of backend engineering, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and scalable system design. Experience deploying, monitoring, and optimizing AI applications in production. An entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to move quickly, solve ambiguous problems, and take complete ownership. Highly Valued: Experience with document intelligence, agentic AI, multimodal models, workflow automation, or early-stage startups. Why This Opportunity? Most engineers join once the product and architecture are established. You'll help define both. This is an opportunity to join a founding engineering team where your ideas become features, your decisions shape the platform, and your contributions can have an immediate impact. You'll tackle meaningful technical challenges, collaborate directly with founders, and help build AI technology designed to transform how businesses operate. If you're an exceptional AI engineer who wants to build something from the ground up — not just contribute to someone else's roadmap — we'd love to connect. Apply today to explore this confidential founding engineering opportunity.
