Staff Engineer at fast-growing AI productivity startup

Are you tired of documentation that's outdated the moment it's written? Join an early-stage AI startup as their first engineering hire and build the platform that turns project scopes and code into self-updating knowledge bases. This is a rare opportunity to partner directly with founders, architect a zero-to-one product, and leverage LLMs to eliminate the manual burden of status meetings. If you have 4+ years of full-stack experience and a bias toward action, help us redefine how technical teams stay aligned and ship faster without the knowledge debt.
