FDE / AI Engineer

MLabs is building a software factory for the enterprise, and this role helps shape its core architecture end to end. You will work onsite in San Francisco, CA with a high-commitment founding team, with meaningful ownership through equity and direct influence over product, architecture, and company culture from day one.

What you’ll build

Own the end-to-end stack for collecting telemetry, protecting privacy, turning unstructured documents into knowledge graphs, and enabling autonomous software generation agents that can create, test, and deploy production applications from workflow models.

Responsibilities

• Design and scale high-throughput, high-concurrency systems to collect desktop and system events across client operations.
• Architect automated redaction and anonymization mechanisms embedded directly into the core data ingestion pipeline.
• Build ingestion and retrieval across unstructured documents to model complex enterprise workflows into structured knowledge graphs.
• Engineer AI agents that can generate, test, and deploy custom production software from workflow models.
• Integrate generated applications into client environments and maintain high reliability in production.
• Personally execute the software factory process end-to-end for an active client by mapping workflows from desktop telemetry, shipping automated solutions via coding agents, and converting those manual steps into autonomous agent workflows for future deployments.

First 30 days

Execute the software factory process end-to-end for an active client: map workflows from desktop telemetry, ship automated solutions via coding agents, then abstract those manual steps into autonomous agent workflows for future deployments.

Requirements

• Deep proficiency with TypeScript, Rust, Tauri, PostgreSQL, Next.js, and Azure.
• Proven ability to drive projects from initial client discovery through to robust production deployment.
• Willingness to work in a high-velocity, high-commitment environment with an intense focus and discipline, including a "996" schedule.
• Strong instinct for user experience and enterprise workflow optimization.
• Direct, transparent communication style and a collaborative spirit suited for an early-stage founding team environment.
