Job description

Technical Co-Founder | SF Bay Area | 150k base + bonus + equity up to 10%

An AI-native SaaS platform helping boutique hotels automate operations and boost revenue. It replaces clunky legacy systems with a modern, prompt-driven interface and smart agents - freeing up staff to focus on guests, not back-office tasks.

Responsibilities:

• Lead engineering strategy, architecture, and execution as the team's technical head.
• Hire, build, and manage a high-performing engineering team.
• Partner closely with the CEO and Co-Founder to shape product direction and align technology with business goals.
• Turn business objectives into scalable technical solutions and deliver against key performance metrics.
• Design and implement AI-driven features like chatbots, RAG pipelines, and agent-based systems.

Ideal Candidate:

• Senior-level engineering leader with startup/early-stage experience
• Familiarity with LangChain, RAG, chatbots, and general AI/ML toolkits (deep ML expertise not required)
• Strong communicator and business-minded - able to work autonomously and cross-functionally
• Experience managing engineers, setting timelines, and driving product milestones

This role is perfect for someone who has an entrepreneurial mindset and sees this as a co-founder-level opportunity or stepping stone to their own future venture.
