Founding TypeScript Software Engineer - SF AI Developer Tool Startup
Location: San Francisco (SoMa), CA (onsite 5x/week)
The position will be in the company's office in San Francisco 5 days/week. The company seeks engineers who are eager to work in the office in a fast-paced and highly collaborative environment.
The company's product is a developer tool involving AI. It started as an open source project, and has rapidly gained traction as a superior alternative to much larger competitors' products. It is already processing a large number of tokens daily and has over 100,000 installs. It also has a thriving open source community, with dozens of engineers interested in being contributors. This has all been achieved with 1 employee (the Founder).
The company has raised $5 million in seed funding, and is rapidly growing.
The ideal compensation package for the company will be $180k with heavy equity, but they are open to paying as much as $250k in salary with less equity. In any case, the equity could be very lucrative.
