Founding Engineer at AI Startup

About Besty AI
  • We're a fast-growing, very ambitious startup of 12 people, with 5 engineers, build an application-layer AI SaaS for the $320B short-term rental property management industry: an AI brain to completely replace a category of company.
  • Over 300 paying customers (20 % MoM revenue growth)
  • Raised over $6M from the heads of the Stanford & Berkeley AI labs and investors behind Discord, Fastly, Hugging Face, Covariant, and Replicate
  • You’ll be one of our first engineering hires and shape the culture, with opportunities for impact and leadership roles
  • It's the perfect environment for anyone very ambitious who wants to learn about startups or be an entrepreneur in the future

Responsibilities
  • Own & ship features end‑to‑end across backend (Typescript + Postgres) and a React frontend, using AI coding background and foreground agents as much as possible; pretty much none of our code is written by hand anymore
  • Prototype AI workflows that automate messaging, dynamic pricing, and ops for hosts
  • Integrating and managing RestAPI providers: Juggling rate limits. latency, and uptime requirements for scaling millions of API calls

You Might Be a Fit If
  • You’ve built impressive solo or side projects
  • Hungry, curious, and comfortable with minimal structure
  • You bias for shipping fast
  • Thrive in high‑intensity environments

What We Offer
  • Ideal experience to found your own company or lead an engineering team
  • High ownership → direct line to product decisions & customers
  • Competitive equity and salary + full benefits
  • Fully in-person office in Soho, Manhattan. 6-day work weeks but we stay physically healthy :)
  • Intense, driven, and supportive culture
