Founding Engineer - Stealth AI

AI overview

Collaborate with founders to shape early AI product offerings that could disrupt a $100b+ market, influencing both engineering culture and architecture from the start.

Sxaler is the new global standard in exceptional talent acquisition for category-defining technology companies. We partner with the brave and the bold during the periods which matter most, and nothing less than exceptional talent is required to win.

Our leaders are operators from unicorns for which they've scaled. Our clients choose us for the quality of our people, the wisdom of experience, and our record for rapid impact.

We believe that AI-natural recruiters who balance input, intervention and empathy will redefine our profession. We look for people with unreasonable standards for excellence — high-agency operators who take ownership and win.

We're hiring Founding Engineers for an AI startup in stealth mode, looking to disrupt a $100b+ market. The opportunity includes the chance to become the VP Engineering/CTO for the right person.

The Founders are highly ambitious and experience operators, who have been part of multiple unicorn success stories previously and deeply understand the problem space. Sufficient private funding/runway to reach PMF and avoid external capital/dilution.

  • Build a scalable, AI-native platform with potentially millions of users

  • Prototype and ship quickly, with direct input from early customers

  • You are tinkering constantly with AI, seeking to understand its utility and limitations

  • You default to action, care deeply about product, and are comfortable in ambiguity

  • You challenge assumptions and think from first principles

  • You want to build cutting-edge products which meaningfully accelerate humans and challenge archaic norms

  • You’ve worked in early-stage startups/scaleups and/or taken ideas from 0 → 1

Why Join Now?

  • You’ll be among the first engineers

  • You’ll have tremendous influence around engineering choices and culture

  • You’ll work directly with thoughtful, scar-tissued operators and sharp engineers

  • You’ll build products that shapes the future of AI
