ShareWe're looking for a Founding AI/ML Lead to join our early-stage team and define the technical heart of a category-defining product. This is a rare ground-floor opportunity to own the end-to-end AI stack and work side-by-side with our founding team. We're building an AI agent that tackles one of the most exciting frontiers in creative AI: autonomous product design. Instead of slow, text-heavy product documents and bottlenecked design cycles, our agent uses generative AI to align software teams visually from day one. It learns their style, standards, and goals to produce design outputs that feel like they were crafted by in-house experts. Our vision is to evolve this agent into an autonomous teammate for any design task, and ultimately, a fully agentic product team capable of ideating, designing, and shipping software automatically. What You'll Do: Build and ship early-stage AI/ML systems that directly impact our users. Prototype quickly, experiment boldly, and turn ideas into real, working features. Choose the right models, train best-in-class models for design, and deploy and scale them. Work closely with the founder, product, and design teams to shape our roadmap. Push the limits of what's possible with generative AI, personalization, and intelligent retrieval. Set best practices in AI/ML engineering and help grow the team. Requirements 5+ years of software engineering/ML engineering experience, with at least 2 years of experience building generative AI or ML products. Strong Python skills and experience with frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow. Comfort with the full AI lifecycle—from data wrangling to production deployment. A proven ability to ship 0→1 projects in ambiguous, fast-moving environments. Clear thinking about how AI connects to real product and business value. Bonus Points: Experience in retrieval, indexing, personalization, or NLP. Startup or early-stage experience. A track record of mentoring or leading other engineers. A graduate degree (PhD/Masters) in AI. Has shipped products to millions of users or customers. Benefits Location: San Francisco, CA (Hybrid) Salary: $175k - $235k Equity: 0.4% - 1.25% This is a full-time, hybrid position. Ideally, candidates can work in person 3-5 days a week in San Francisco.
