Job description

What They Do

Our client is building AI native platforms for threat modelling, intelligence and security. They enable organizations to actively defend against disinformation and influence campaigns in the era of agentic AI.

The Opportunity

First engineering hire. Work directly with the founding engineer (pentesting background) to build our OSINT screening platform.

You'll own the product end-to-end: architecture decisions, customer conversations, roadmap priorities. Shape our engineering culture as we grow from 1 to many.

Why It's Different

AI-native development: They use Claude code for everything. Ship features in days, not sprints.

Real ownership: You choose the stack, design the system, talk to users directly.

Mission-driven

Your work protects against real threats, defending democracies.

Direct access

3-person founding team. No layers, no politics.

What You'll Build

• AI-powered pattern recognition
• Full platform: React 19 frontend, Python/FastAPI backend, Claude API

You Should Have

• Built complete products (not just features)
• Full-stack skills (comfortable anywhere in the stack)
• High agency (you see what needs doing and do it)
• Speed mindset (ship imperfect, iterate fast)
• Bonus: Security background, startup experience, or you're someone who future engineers will want to learn from. Experience building MCP server.

The Offer

• Competitive salary + early equity
• Be the frontrunner of AI native development
• Open Discord/Slack voice channel with the founding engineer (drop in anytime - think virtual office, not surveillance)
• Travel to Den Haag for team sessions
• Pre-seed funded, post-traction. They're moving fast. Daily sync, mostly async work, weekly customer reviews. 80% AI-generated code, 100% human architecture decisions.
