Job description

At Falconer, we're transforming how engineers create, access, and share knowledge. We're looking for a Founding AI Engineer to help us build an AI-powered knowledge platform that companies love.

As a founding engineer, you won't just help shape our product development-you'll have a seat at the table to define Falconer's technical direction and culture.

Key responsibilities :

  • Participate in the entire product development lifecycle, including architecture, coding, testing, and deploying
  • Research and apply best practices in terms of Knowledge Graph, embeddings, vector and graph RAG search, fine-tuning, and model optimization
  • Develop and maintain backend systems including API services, databases, and server-side logic
  • Optimize tech stack and applications for maximum precision and speed
  • Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code, following industry best practices-the Falconer platform will help you!
  • Stay updated with emerging technologies in web development and make recommendations for adopting new tools and practices

Who you are :

  • Advanced degree in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or equivalent work experience
  • Minimum of 2 years of professional experience in developing ML data pipelines
  • Experience with text embeddings, RAG systems, and similarity search
  • Familiar with Entity and Relationship recognition models
  • Skilled at prompt engineering
  • Ability to implement backend systems in Python and / or Node.js
  • You can evaluate tradeoffs and propose the most appropriate storage solution (SQL, NoSQL, Vector DBs, Graph databases)
  • You enjoy hard problems and open-ended assignments
  • You use data to make decisions, and experiment your way around hard problems
  • Bonus points :

  • You've developed products with LLMs before (extra if you've already built your own agents)
  • You have fine-tuned foundational models to tailor responses to specific data use cases
  • You have experience with LlamaIndex and Memgraph to produce knowledge graphs
  • Perks and benefits :

  • Generous equity package
  • Competitive salary and benefits
  • 401(k) retirement account
  • The best equipment and tools, like a spec'd out MacBook, and dev prod tools like Cursor, Claude, and Linear to help you move fast
  • Flexible work arrangements with in-office work or hybrid work for the right candidate
  • Our current office is in San Francisco, just steps from Caltrain
  • At Falconer, we value diversity and equal opportunities. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace. If you are passionate about technology and thrive in a challenging environment, come join our team and help us shape the future of work communication.
