Founding Engineer
Location: San Francisco, CA (Onsite) Role Type: Full-time | Founding Team
The Mission
We are solving the "last mile" problem of Artificial Intelligence. While everyone else is building better chatbots, we are moving fast to build Mobile AI Agents, systems that can see, touch, and navigate applications just like a human.
We are giving LLMs hands.
We are looking for a Founding Engineer who doesn't want to be an employee, but a partner. You will not be handed tickets, you will be handed impossible problems that need to be solved yesterday.
Operating Principles
We operate differently than 99% of companies. Speed is our primary strategy. If this scares you, this role isn't for you.
• We are AI-Native: If you think AI coding tools make you "lazy," you will not survive here. We expect you to leverage Claude Code, Codex, etc. to be 10x more productive. We don't care how you write the code, we care that it works and it ships today.
• Slope > Y-Intercept: We value your rate of learning over your current knowledge. You will face problems with zero documentation. You must be able to grok new domains in hours, not weeks.
• Action > Spec: We don't write multi-week design docs. We build, break, fix, and ship. We prioritize momentum over perfection.
What You Will Build
You are building the infrastructure that connects intelligence to action.
• The Hands (Android Internals): You will build robust control layers using Accessibility Services and ADB. You will need to reverse-engineer third-party apps and dig into the AOSP source code to make models reliably navigate the OS.
• The Brain (On-Device Inference): You will optimize inference pipelines (ExecuTorch, TFLite) to run agentic reasoning loops locally without destroying battery life.
• The Eyes (Context Awareness): You will build real-time screen parsing engines that fuse View Hierarchies with Vision models to ground LLM outputs in precise UI coordinates.
Who You Are
• A Hacker: You understand systems from the kernel up. You aren't afraid to decompile an APK to see how an API really works.
• A Polymath: You might be an Android expert today, but if we need a Python backend tomorrow or a Rust module next week, you pick it up overnight.
• Relentless: When the model hallucinates or the Accessibility Node returns null, you don't file a bug report. You find a workaround. You make it work now.
Requirements
• Bachelor's or advanced degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
• LLM Fluency: Experience integrating LLM models with structured tools and JSON outputs.
• Extreme Velocity: A public track record of shipping complex projects on aggressive timelines. Show us what you’ve built, not just where you’ve worked.
• Capability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary environment
• Years of experience in software engineering: 2+
• Base Salary: $120k – $180k.
