Job Description

Futureproofing is seeking a Founding AI Engineer to help move an end-to-end AI platform for investment banking from a near-complete MVP to a product that real customers rely on. This role focuses on building AI capabilities using LLMs, agents, RAG, and evaluation, with ownership across critical system components.

Key Responsibilities

Advance the product from MVP to production outcomes customers depend on.
Design and build LLM, agent, RAG, and evaluation features as core product surface areas rather than secondary add-ons.
Partner directly with the founding team on what to build and the rationale behind build decisions.
Take hands-on ownership of core system areas, including the data pipeline, infrastructure, and model integration.
Execute quickly alongside engineers who already know how to ship.

Required Qualifications

7+ years shipping production software, including meaningful experience at an early-stage company.
Experience taking at least one AI-powered product from initial concept to real users in production, with the ability to explain tradeoffs made along the way.
Strong depth across modern stacks, typically TypeScript/React/Node and/or Python, with comfort spanning full-stack development into infrastructure.
Use AI tooling daily as part of how you build.
Comfort operating in ambiguity and making key decisions.
Ability to discuss technical tradeoffs with non-engineering stakeholders without losing clarity for either side.
Founding engineer experience is a plus; this position does not carry the traditional scope of building and owning the entire system solo.

Technologies

LLMs, agents, RAG, evaluation
TypeScript, React, Node
Python

Opportunity Highlights

The product aims to be category-defining.
You will join when the MVP is nearly built, bringing something tangible rather than starting from a blank page.
Development will take place alongside teammates who know the domain well.
The team operates with high autonomy.

Location: Boston, MA (onsite)

Experience: 7+ years
