Founding Applied AI Engineer at Stackfix

You will join Stackfix as a founding engineer to build and deploy production AI systems for diverse industries. Working directly with exited founders, you’ll bridge the gap between frontier models and enterprise workflows, shipping end-to-end software that processes real transactions. This is a high-agency role focused on solving valuable, real-world problems.

• Build and ship production-ready AI systems end-to-end, from initial scoping with enterprise clients to deploying software that handles hundreds of daily transactions.
• Join client calls and visit sites to understand complex business workflows, presenting your work directly to leadership at global firms and investment funds.
• Iterate on frontier AI models and tooling to create robust systems that review patient records, process factory orders, or audit complex financial obligations.

• Possesses 4+ years of full-stack software engineering experience with a proven track record of shipping production systems rather than just building isolated features.
• Demonstrates high agency through a portfolio of side projects or open-source contributions that show a natural hunger for building and solving technical problems.
• Combines strong technical implementation skills with a genuine curiosity about business operations, capable of learning fast and performing at a high level in person.

• Work directly with repeat founders Paddy Stobbs (sold Jukedeck to TikTok) and Tom Dekan, gaining unique daily insights into selling, building, and scaling AI.
• Gain unparalleled exposure to frontier AI in production, learning which models and methodologies actually deliver value in high-stakes business environments rather than just following hype.
• Enjoy rapid variety by solving unique problems across diverse sectors like PE funds and logistics, providing better entrepreneurial preparation than years spent on a single product.
