Founding Engineer Intern

### **About the Role** A fast-growing, pre-seed AI startup in the talent and recruiting space is looking for a **Founding Engineer Intern** to join their founding team in San Francisco. You'll work directly with the CTO to ship features daily and help build a fully agentic system that automates headhunting end-to-end. This role puts you at the center of rapid experimentation with real ownership and high-impact outcomes — including time in hacker-house environments in Latin America. ### **What You'll Do** * Build and ship features daily alongside the CTO to automate the recruiting process end-to-end. * Own full end-to-end development — from ideation to production — for core product features. * Collaborate with the founding team to design and ship components of an agentic AI system. * Talk to users and measure impact on hiring speed to drive rapid iteration. * Thrive in a founder-paced, high-output environment with daily feedback loops. ### **What We're Looking For** **Required:** * At least 6 months of experience with **React** and **TypeScript** in a production environment. * Hands-on experience with **Cursor, Supabase, Prisma, and Typesense** in a production React/TypeScript stack. * Full-stack focus — not an ML engineer and not overly specialized in a single language (e.g. Python or C\+\+). * Strong ownership mindset with the ability to drive features from ideation to production independently. * Currently enrolled in or pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. * Something outstanding about your profile — top GPA, strong university, impressive projects, or an active GitHub. * Experience working in entrepreneurial, fast-paced, scrappy environments. * Willingness to work 7 days/week and participate in hacker-house setups in LatAm. **Nice to Have:** * Portfolio or sample projects demonstrating full-stack development and open-source contributions. ### **Location** Based in **San Francisco, CA**. On-site role with hacker-house periods in Latin America. Visa sponsorship is available.
