### ABOUT THE ROLE

A fast-growing, pre-seed AI startup in the talent and recruiting space is looking for a Founding Engineer Intern to join their founding team in San Francisco. You'll work directly with the CTO to ship features daily and help build a fully agentic system that automates headhunting end-to-end. This role puts you at the center of rapid experimentation with real ownership and high-impact outcomes — including time in hacker-house environments in Latin America.

### WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Build and ship features daily alongside the CTO to automate the recruiting process end-to-end.
- Own full end-to-end development — from ideation to production — for core product features.
- Collaborate with the founding team to design and ship components of an agentic AI system.
- Talk to users and measure impact on hiring speed to drive rapid iteration.
- Thrive in a founder-paced, high-output environment with daily feedback loops.

### WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required:

- At least 6 months of experience with React and TypeScript in a production environment.
- Hands-on experience with Cursor, Supabase, Prisma, and Typesense in a production React/TypeScript stack.
- Full-stack focus — not an ML engineer and not overly specialized in a single language (e.g. Python or C++).
- Strong ownership mindset with the ability to drive features from ideation to production independently.
- Currently enrolled in or pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
- Something outstanding about your profile — top GPA, strong university, impressive projects, or an active GitHub.
- Experience working in entrepreneurial, fast-paced, scrappy environments.
- Willingness to work 7 days/week and participate in hacker-house setups in LatAm.

Nice to Have:

- Portfolio or sample projects demonstrating full-stack development and open-source contributions.

### LOCATION

Based in San Francisco, CA. On-site role with hacker-house periods in Latin America. Visa sponsorship is available.
