About the Role

Join a fast-growing AI-powered talent marketplace startup that is reimagining how top candidates connect with their next opportunity. As a Founding Engineer Intern, you'll work directly alongside the CTO to ship features daily and help build a fully agentic system that automates headhunting end-to-end. This role puts you at the heart of rapid experimentation, with real ownership and high-impact outcomes — including time spent working in hacker-house environments in Latin America.

What You'll Do

• Build and ship features daily alongside the CTO to automate the headhunting process end-to-end.
• Own full end-to-end development — from ideation through to production — for core product features.
• Collaborate with the founding team to design and ship components of an agentic AI system.
• Talk directly to users and measure impact on hiring speed to drive iteration.
• Thrive in a founder-paced, high-output environment with tight daily feedback loops.

What We're Looking For

Required:

• At least 6 months of hands-on experience with React and TypeScript in a production environment.
• Experience with Cursor, Supabase, Prisma, and Typesense in a production React/TypeScript stack.
• Strong full-stack profile — not an ML engineer and not overly specialized in a single language (e.g. Python or C++).
• Strong ownership mindset: ability to own features end-to-end from ideation to production.
• Experience working in entrepreneurial, fast-moving, "hacky" environments.
• Currently enrolled in or actively pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Something outstanding about your profile — strong projects, active GitHub, top academic record, or similar.
• Willingness to work 7 days/week and openness to hacker-house arrangements in Latin America.

Nice to Have:

• Portfolio or sample projects demonstrating full-stack development and/or open-source contributions.

Compensation & Benefits

• Internship role with direct mentorship from founding engineering leadership.
• Hands-on experience at a well-funded pre-seed AI startup with real product ownership from day one.
• Visa sponsorship is available.

Location

This is an on-site role based in San Francisco, CA. Candidates should also be open to periodic hacker-house arrangements in Latin America as part of the team's working culture.
