Job description

About the role

If you’re looking for a comfortable 9 to 5, something well established, structured, and where you’re told exactly what to do, this won't be for you. But if you want to build something extraordinary from the ground up and have a direct hand in shaping a company that’s scaling at breathtaking speed, keep reading.

This is your chance to join an early stage AI startup that’s redefining how innovation is discovered, protected, and accelerated. The team is building systems that detect infringement, streamline R&D, and empower creators to move faster.

It’s a true greenfield opportunity, no legacy code, no bureaucracy, just the freedom to solve challenging technical problems with impact. The founding team comes from some of the world’s most respected technology companies and is backed by tier‑one investors and industry leaders who know how to build billion‑dollar businesses.

The company’s trajectory is ambitious, from zero to seven figures in recurring revenue within its first year and this is only the beginning. As a Software Engineer, you’ll join a small, high caliber team where ownership is everything.

You’ll work primarily on the backend, integrating with LLMs, and collaborating directly with the founders to design, ship, and iterate products. You’ll speak with customers, think critically from their perspective, and see your work have an immediate, visible impact.

What you’ll need to succeed

• Strong experience building production quality software (Java, TypeScript, or Python)
• Curiosity and adaptability: you learn new technologies quickly and apply them effectively
• Hunger and drive: you’re comfortable working in ambiguous, fast paced environments
• Ownership mentality: you take full responsibility for solving problems, not waiting for instructions

Benefits

In return, you’ll receive a highly competitive base salary, meaningful stock options, and the opportunity to join right before takeoff. That’s the real reason people join startups – the ownership, the impact, and the upside.

Those options could change your life, your home, your car, your freedom – whatever drives you. If that sounds like you, and you’re open to hearing more, please apply below or reach out directly at [e-mail].

If you’re motivated by applying AI to real world business challenges, want ownership over what you build, and like the idea of shaping a new AI capability inside a growing, well backed tech company, this is a role worth exploring.
