Founding Engineer – Early-Stage AI Startup San Francisco, CA (In-Person Only)

Full-Time | Equity + Cash | Early-Stage Stealth Startup

About the Role I’m building Xuman.AI, an early‑stage platform in San Francisco rethinking how humans access and engage with essential services. The product is under development and currently in stealth to protect key innovations.

I’m hiring a

Founding Engineer

to help architect and build the platform from the ground up —

not as an employee, but as a future technical leader and owner .

You’ll work

in person in San Francisco

alongside me (the founder) and our early product and design team. You’ll shape the core systems, the product, and the culture.

This role includes

founder‑level equity

and cash compensation, aligned with our early funding and growth stage.

What You’ll Do

Design, build, and scale core backend systems and APIs

Collaborate closely with design and product to shape user‑facing features

Prototype and implement AI workflows (LLMs, embeddings, RAG, etc.)

Make foundational decisions on infrastructure, tools, and architecture

Help recruit, onboard, and mentor future engineering hires

Ideal Candidate

Full‑stack or backend‑leaning engineer with strong fundamentals

Experience shipping MVPs and working on complex systems

Comfort with AI integration / modern data workflows (preferred, not mandatory)

Strong product intuition and ability to work independently with high ownership

Based in San Francisco

and available to work in person

Energized by ambiguity, early‑stage pace, and building from zero

Why Join This is

not

a typical job. It’s a chance to help build a company from day one with real ownership and real responsibility.

The foundation is set: early capital raised, product vision defined, IP work in motion, and an initial team assembled. Now I’m looking for the technical partner who wants to help turn this into a category‑defining company.

If you’ve been waiting for the

right

opportunity to go all‑in — one grounded in execution, not noise — this is that moment.
