New York, NY

$150,000 - $180,000 + Equity

We're partnering with a fast-growing AI-native startup that's revolutionizing hotel operations through automation. They are looking for a Technical Co Founder who can build their engineering team.

The Role:

This is an opportunity to be the first technical leader at a company solving massive, overlooked problems in hospitality. As the Founding Engineer, you'll lead development across the stack and help bring AI-native workflows-from chatbots to pricing agents-to life. You'll work directly with the CEO and founding team to architect scalable systems, own key business outcomes, and help define the product experience end-to-end.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Build and scale the platform across the full stack (Python, Node, React, AWS)
  • Implement agentic solutions using AI frameworks like LangChain and RAG pipelines
  • Collaborate closely with the founding team to shape product and technical direction
  • Manage and mentor engineers as the team scales
  • Translate complex business needs into simple, reliable software that drives results
  • Establish engineering best practices, timelines, and delivery standards

Skills and Experience:

  • Strong experience in fullstack development using Python, Node.js, and React
  • Entrepreneurial mindset-hungry, resourceful, and ready to own the outcome
  • Proficiency in AWS and building production SaaS applications
  • Exposure to AI/ML concepts, especially chatbots and retrieval-augmented generation
  • Exceptional communication and collaboration skills
  • Must be NYC-based or open to relocating for a hybrid culture

The Benefits:

As a Founding Engineer, you'll receive a $150,000 - $180,000 salary plus a performance-based bonus, along with equity. You'll also help shape the future of a company with massive upside, clear product-market fit, and a team ready to move fast.
