Founding Engineer

AI overview

Build and launch AI-driven MVPs for multiple early-stage B2B SaaS ventures while collaborating directly with non-technical founders.

FutureSight is a venture studio that co-founds and funds vertical B2B AI software companies.
We bring ideas, early validation, capital, and an embedded team to the company-creation process. Our leadership team combines experienced builders and operators with institutional investors, giving our ventures a strong foundation from day zero.

Role & Responsibilities

We are seeking a hands-on AI Engineer to build and launch 0→1 MVPs across multiple early-stage B2B SaaS ventures. 

In this role, you will bridge the gap between strategy and working software, using AI-native workflows to compress development timelines from months to weeks. You will operate as a true builder, working directly with founders to turn validated ideas into live, production-ready MVPs.

What you’ll do: 

    • Ship Fast & Often - Build and launch MVPs for multiple ventures, often context-switching between projects
    • AI-Augmented Development - Use LLMs and coding agents to handle boilerplate, migrations, and refactoring, allowing you to focus on complex logic and user experience
    • Founder Collaboration - Work directly with non-technical founders to translate their vision into reality through clear, non-jargon-filled communication
    • Transition & Handoff - Build clean, documented foundations that can eventually be handed off to a permanent team or allow you to transition into a Founding Engineer role.

Requirements

  • Technical Taste & Full-Stack Fluency - Deep experience in modern stacks (Python, TypeScript/Next.js, GCP or equivalent). Can quickly spot security risks, anti-patterns, and logic errors in AI-generated code
  • Test-driven development mindset - Having an appreciation for software craftsmanship principles
  • AI Orchestration Mindset - Strong appetite for emerging AI tools and workflows. Focus on orchestrating LLMs and coding agents rather than manual implementation
  • Comfort with Ambiguity & Speed - Thrive in fast-paced environments. Manage multiple 0→1 MVPs concurrently, prioritizing working prototypes over perfect architecture
  • Full-Stack Ownership - Comfortable across frontend and backend. Own technical implementation while partnering with the product leader on features and scope

Benefits

  • Hands-on ownership from day one: Work on core product features and systems end-to-end, with increasing responsibility and autonomy as the business grows.
  • Step into a founding role: Transition to early technical leader, gaining exposure to product decisions, customer feedback, and startup execution.
  • Career acceleration: Develop skills beyond pure engineering—architecture, product thinking, and early-stage problem solving—at a pace unmatched in larger companies.
  • Close collaboration with founders: Work directly with experienced founders and operators, learning how early-stage companies are built from the inside.
  • Strong mentorship and growth: Learn alongside ambitious builders in a high-trust environment that values curiosity, ownership, and continuous improvement.

FutureSight is a venture studio that co-creates and funds B2B SaaS companies with values-driven leaders. By working alongside a proven and diverse team, we minimize risk and increase the likelihood of startup success by 2-3x. Unlike incubators and accelerators, we are a co-founder, i.e. we are as invested and committed in the venture for the long term as you are. We follow a unique investment approach and only work with a handful of select founders per year. The resources we bring along with access to advisor and funding networks allows you to focus on the unique elements needed to get to market faster and on the path to rapid growth.
