## About the role

As founding engineer you will work alongside a team of experienced 2x-founders and ex-Apple engineers. Set the bar for AI security and accountability - there are no (good) best practices so we're creating them ourselves. If it makes sense; we do the hard stuff most only say they do. Read a paper or 10 if you must. We’re looking for someone who truly wants to innovate. You’ll have a defining role in building the core product and further expanding the engineering team.

## What they're looking for

- Gold star if you’ve built something impressive in the AI space
- Strong backend and infrastructure experience (cloud, infra-as-code, scaling systems, observability)
- Ability to own technical decisions and balance pragmatism with long-term design
- Excited to build directly with customers in complex, real-world industries
- Joy in moving fast, breaking down ambiguity on a whiteboard and making solid engineering judgement calls
- Leadership mindset: eager to shape culture, mentor future hires, and grow into a key technical leader
