  • Operate with a founder mindset, making bold decisions with incomplete data and driving execution forward
  • Set and maintain a high bar for engineering and product quality while moving fast

Required Qualifications :

  • Strong technical fluency in GenAI, LLMs, and modern ML frameworks
  • Hands-on experience shipping full-stack, cloud-native applications
  • Proven track record of building and launching 01 products
  • Comfortable leading in ambiguity and acting without perfect information
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills (product, design, GTM)
  • Excellent leadership and communication skills that inspire alignment and trust
  • Nice To Have :

  • Prior startup or founding engineer experience
  • Familiarity with fundraising or technical stakeholder communication
  • Domain expertise in the SMB Fintech space
  • What Sets You Apart :

  • Scrappy & Resourceful : You deliver results despite constraints
  • Technically Curious : You continuously explore new tools and approaches, applying them creatively
  • Builder Energy : You're energized by creating from scratch and making bold bets
  • If you're a hands-on technical leader eager to co-found and build a GenAI venture from the ground up, we'd love to meet you.
