Founding AI Engineer
About the Role
Join a small, high-velocity team building an AI-powered pricing platform that helps B2B companies continuously optimize their pricing strategy and improve deal outcomes. The AI recommends prices; expert Pricing Architects stay in the loop on high-stakes calls. Your mandate is to build the evaluation systems and feedback loops that let the AI earn more of that trust over time. This is applied AI on a problem where quality is directly measurable in customer revenue.
What You'll Do
-
Design and build eval harnesses and benchmarks that use tracked pricing outcomes as ground truth for AI recommendations.
-
Own LLM infrastructure and model routing across multiple frontier providers (Anthropic, Google) with explicit cost/latency/quality tradeoffs.
-
Maintain EU data-residency boundaries for EU customer model calls, ensuring compliance with applicable data regulations.
-
Extend an MCP server so LLM agents — including customers' own agents — can programmatically drive the platform.
-
Build observability and feedback loops that surface where the AI earns or loses trust from human reviewers.
-
Bridge non-deterministic engineering concepts clearly to less technical stakeholders (sales, customer success, leadership).
What We're Looking For
Required
-
8+ years of software engineering experience with strong, recent production LLM depth.
-
Demonstrated track record of shipping and owning LLM-powered product features in production — not research-only work.
-
Has personally built evals and observability for LLM systems (not just consumed someone else's dashboard).
-
Comfortable operating across the full stack: TypeScript/Python, FastAPI, GCP, and modern LLM tooling.
-
Strong communicator who can make non-deterministic engineering concepts legible to non-technical stakeholders.
Nice to Have
-
Experience with MCP or building tools/integrations for LLM agents.
-
Familiarity with LangChain, LlamaIndex, Braintrust, Langfuse, or OpenRouter.
-
Background in a domain where correctness is audited — pricing, billing, payments, or similar.
-
Experience at a seed-stage or founding-team environment; comfort with AI-assisted coding workflows (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code).
Tech Stack
-
Languages & Frameworks: TypeScript, React, Python, FastAPI
-
Infrastructure: GCP, Pulumi, Cloudflare Pages, MongoDB Atlas
-
AI/LLM Tooling: FastMCP, Langfuse, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini
Compensation & Benefits
-
Salary: €130,000 – €165,000 annually
-
Equity: Meaningful employee stock option plan (ESOP)
-
Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
