Founding Engineer at Fig AI — VC-backed AI startup

You will join as a foundational member building AI agents that automate revenue-generating and cost-saving workflows for US food manufacturers. From developing RAG systems for product catalogues to building computer-use agents for complex compliance documents, you will touch every part of the stack and influence every major technical and product decision.

• Architect and build end-to-end AI agents using Gemini and Anthropic to automate manual compliance and sales workflows.
• Develop robust backend systems using Kotlin and Spring Boot to ingest and process high volumes of data from legacy ERPs and CRMs.
• Own the full product lifecycle from initial discovery with food manufacturing executives to shipping production-ready features in React and NextJS.

• A proven builder who has shipped real-world products and prioritizes shipping 80% solutions today over debating perfect architectures for weeks.
• Highly pragmatic engineer comfortable with a "boring" but effective stack (Kotlin, Postgres, GCP) and a deep desire to solve unsexy, high-value problems.
• Self-starter with an owner mindset who identifies gaps and fixes them without waiting for perfect requirements or explicit permission.
