Your strategic planning excels at owning the technical vision for AI tools that solve business problems.
Analytical skills align perfectly with designing custom AI implementations and integrations like QuickBooks.
Independence thrives in the remote, ambiguity-filled environment of building while flying the plane.
Determination supports leading small teams and technical hiring as the company scales.
Focus on long-term outcomes may sometimes overlook immediate client-facing interactions.

We're hiring our founding technical hire — a Senior Technical Lead who will own the entire technical vision and execution. This is a co-builder role, not a cog-in-machine role.
This is an application-layer engineering role. You'll be building AI-powered tools that solve real business problems for real operators — not managing GPU clusters, optimizing inference pipelines, or scaling cloud infrastructure. If you get more excited connecting QuickBooks to an AI agent that saves a business owner 10 hours a week than you do tuning Kubernetes configs, keep reading.

What You'll Own:

Designing and building custom AI implementations for SMB clients — from discovery through deployment
Integrations across the platforms our clients already use (Toast, Square, Mindbody, QuickBooks, HubSpot)
Our AI tooling stack (Claude API, Make.com, Clay) and the internal systems that power delivery
Ongoing maintenance, optimization, and evolution of client AI systems
Client-facing portal and delivery infrastructure
Technical hiring as we scale

What We're Looking For:

8+ years of engineering experience shipping real SaaS products
AI-native workflow: Cursor, Claude API, Make.com are daily tools, not experiments
Led a small team. You think in business outcomes, not just code
Former founding engineer or technical co-founder is a strong signal
Comfortable with ambiguity. You build the plane while flying it.

Compensation:

$160,000 - $200,000 base salary
4.5% equity (founding-level)
Fully remote, US-based
