FDE / AI Engineer
Location: San Francisco, CA
On-Site | Full-time
Compensation: $150K - $250K
Our client, an elite Y Combinator-backed startup based in San Francisco, is building the software factory for the enterprise. Traditional SaaS platforms force companies into rigid workflows requiring months of forward-deployed engineering, while custom agency builds cost millions and rarely scale beyond proofs of concept. By leveraging autonomous coding agents, our client automates the forward-deployed engineering layer—capturing desktop workflows, mapping business logic, and deploying custom, AI-native software stacks tailored to each client.
As a FDE / AI Engineer, you will build the core architecture of this software factory. You will own the full end-to-end stack—from high-throughput telemetry capture and privacy pipelines to knowledge graphs and autonomous software generation agents. This role requires exceptional technical capability, a product-first mindset, and extreme dedication to building a category-defining company.
