Founding Full-Stack Engineer - AI (Remote)

About The Company

Our client is a company building the go-to AI copilot for educators, universities, and international schools, supported by Antler and Nvidia - currently post-MVP, early stage, and revenue-generating. If you love working on real AI projects, shipping fast, scaling, and sweating the details, please apply.

The Role

As the founding engineer, you'll help define the architecture, ship critical features, and set the technical bar. You’ll have end-to-end ownership and work closely with the founder to scale a product that's already solving a real pain point.

You will:

Build scalable PDF & Image processors for high-volume grading queues

Integrate with LMS platforms (Canvas, Moodle, Google Classroom) and SSO (OAuth, SAML)

Build and own a multi-agent AI stack (CrewAI, LangGraph, or custom)

Set up CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and environment orchestration with instant rollbacks

Implement workflows for grading, student coaching, and academic integrity

Build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines with vector stores and inline citations

Why This Role

This is a rare chance to help build an AI startup supported by Antler and Nvidia from the inside — with real equity, autonomy, and a direct path to technical leadership.

Ownership: You won’t be a cog in the machine — you’ll own systems end-to-end, shape architecture, and ship product that defines the company.

Equity with Real Upside: Supported by Antler and NVIDIA Inception, we’re early stage, revenue-generating and with unlimited upsides. You’ll hold meaningful equity at an early stage, before valuation multiples kick in.

Creative Freedom: We care about results, not micromanagement. You’ll have space to explore, build, and improve with minimal overhead.

Remote and Flexible: We’re async-friendly, remote-first, and trust you to manage your time.

Fast-Moving, Collaborative Culture: Work closely with the founder, contribute directly to strategy, and be part of a small, high-agency team that actually enjoys building together.

If you're looking to grow fast, take real ownership, and help build something from zero to scale — this is that role.
