Founding Engineer - Libra AI

What this is

We're looking for our strong engineers to own systems end-to-end. This is not a maintenance role. You will write the code that becomes the foundation of the company, work directly with the founder, and ship to production in days, not quarters.

What you'll do

  • Own features and systems from design to deployment. No handoffs, no ticket farms.

  • Build fast, iterate faster, and ship code that touches users within your first week

  • Work across the stack: backend, APIs, infrastructure, and AI/LLM integrations as needed

  • Influence product direction and engineering culture from day one

What we're looking for

  • 2+ years of real shipping experience. You've built and deployed production systems, not just coursework or internships

  • You can write clean, working code quickly and aren't afraid to touch any part of the stack

  • Strong systems thinking. You understand how your code fits into the broader architecture

  • Comfortable with ambiguity. We don't have specs for everything yet

  • Self-directed. You figure out what needs to be done and do it

What you don't need

  • A college degree. We care about what you can build, not where you studied

  • Years of big-tech process training. We move fast, and we want people who thrive in that environment

Compensation

  • Top-of-market cash + meaningful stock

  • This is a founding role with outsized equity for outsized ownership

The reality check We're a small team building something ambitious. The pace is high, the ownership is real, and we expect a lot from each other. If you want structure, guardrails, and predictable 9-to-5 scope, this won't be the right fit. If you want to build something that matters and grow with it, it will be.
