Founding Full-Stack Engineer (Industrial Wearable AI)

A seed-stage startup is building AI-powered wearable devices for industrial workers and needs an early engineer to take charge of everything surrounding the AI core. It is a ground-floor position for someone who enjoys owning a whole product, from device to cloud to the app a customer holds.

What you’ll own

• The complete customer experience across wearable hardware, backend services and a companion app that works without engineering help on hand
• The cloud half of a live video pipeline, covering ingestion, APIs and storage for footage coming off the devices
• Backend interfaces and database foundations relied upon by the devices and AI services, built to be dependable, observable and ready for early customer load
• A mobile and desktop application for onboarding devices, monitoring them and configuring workflows
• The release path that gets new builds onto field hardware safely
• Architecture and engineering habits for a team that is about to grow, choosing sensibly now to avoid rework later

Profile

• Two to five years of professional software engineering, ideally with startup exposure
• Has built and shipped systems from zero with real users, spanning server code, interfaces and databases plus the client people actually touch
• Solid across a modern stack such as TypeScript, Python, React, Node, AWS or GCP, PostgreSQL and Redis
• Able to make mature, scalable design decisions without hand-holding
• Plus: video streaming or low-latency experience, shipped AI features, mobile app work, or familiarity with industrial settings

On-site in the San Francisco Bay Area, five days a week. Visa transfers are considered.
