Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Ember AI is building an AI-native Enterprise Intelligence workspace that transforms company knowledge and operational data into durable memory, proactive agents, and customer-specific workflows. The Founding Engineer, AI Platform will help build the product from 0 to 1, owning product areas end to end across full-stack engineering, infrastructure, agents, evaluations, connectors, and customer workflows. The role also involves direct customer collaboration and shaping the technical architecture, roadmap, and engineering practices of the early-stage company.
Responsibilities
- Own meaningful product areas end to end, from customer discovery and technical design through implementation, launch, and iteration
- Build core Enterprise Intelligence surfaces, including the agent builder, brain pages, connectors, source transparency, calendar and meeting workflows, and the internal tools we use every day
- Design reusable platform primitives for agents, including triggers, tools, approvals, evals, memory, observability, and workflow execution
- Turn messy, customer-specific workflows into reliable and extensible product experiences
- Work across the stack using React, TypeScript, Python, FastAPI, Postgres, background jobs, cloud infrastructure, LLM APIs, and retrieval systems
- Build for production from the start, including tenant isolation, reliability, monitoring, permissions, data security, and secure connector access
- Work directly with customers through discovery calls, workflow reviews, debugging sessions, implementation, and launch support
- Use AI coding tools aggressively and thoughtfully while maintaining strong engineering judgment and building systems others can understand, operate, and extend
- Help shape the product roadmap, technical architecture, engineering practices, and culture of an early-stage company
Skills
- You are an entrepreneurial builder who has experienced a 0-to-1 journey, ideally as a founder, founding engineer, or early employee at a startup
- You have built something meaningful from a blank page and can point to decisions, tradeoffs, and outcomes that were truly yours
- You have strong full-stack judgment and move comfortably between product UI, backend APIs, data models, infrastructure, and customer needs
- You enjoy ambiguous product and platform problems where the right solution or abstraction is not obvious on day one
- You care deeply about solving customer pain, not just producing technically elegant systems
- You have shipped AI-powered product features in production, or have unusually strong evidence that you can learn and build in this space quickly
- You balance speed with durability. You know when to prototype, when to generalize, and when to revisit an early decision
- You have high agency, low ego, strong product instincts, and a bias toward action
- You communicate clearly with both technical and nontechnical teammates and are comfortable working directly with customers
- You use AI tools to accelerate your work without outsourcing your judgment to them
- You are excited by agents, RAG, tool calling, evals, and the edge cases that emerge when these systems interact with real businesses
- Experience with Python, TypeScript, React, Postgres, Celery or other background job systems, AWS, or comparable technologies
- Experience building integrations with Gmail, Slack, Google Calendar, CRMs, document systems, or other enterprise APIs
- Experience with LLM evals, observability, retrieval, agent orchestration, prompt reliability, or tool-use reliability
- Experience designing secure, multi-tenant enterprise software with thoughtful permissions and data access controls
- Strong product taste and the ability to make early or internal tools feel coherent, intuitive, and trustworthy
Benefits
- Global team experience – collaborate with talented professionals worldwide.
- Remote work arrangement.
