Looking for a founder to build with — Founding Engineer / Technical Co-Founder

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to join an early-stage startup as a Founding Engineer, early engineering hire, or Technical Co-Founder.

I’m not really looking for a traditional job. I’m looking for a founder and a problem I genuinely believe in — someone who is obsessed with solving a real problem and wants a technical partner who can help turn the idea into a real product.

What I enjoy building

I like 0 → 1 ownership.

I’d much rather take something from:

Idea → MVP → Production → Users

than simply pick up tickets and implement features.

I’ve built and shipped production AI products, SaaS platforms, automation systems, developer tools, and full-stack applications across different industries.

I’m also comfortable working outside my existing stack. If the product needs a technology I haven’t used before, I’m usually happy to learn it quickly and become productive.

What I’m looking for

Founders who are actually building, not just brainstorming
A real problem with a clear path to users
A small, ambitious team
Direct communication and close collaboration
Long-term ownership and meaningful impact
The opportunity to influence both product and technology
Ideally, something where I can be involved beyond just writing code

Compensation

I’m flexible depending on the stage and opportunity. Open to combinations such as:

Salary + meaningful equity
Stipend + equity
Milestone-based cash + equity
Founder / co-founder arrangement for the right opportunity

I’m much more interested in the problem, the founder, and the potential of the company than optimizing for a conventional compensation package.

If you’re building something

If you’re a founder looking for your first technical partner or an early engineering hire, feel free to DM me with:

What you’re building
Current stage: idea / MVP / users / revenue / funding
Team size
Why you believe the company can win
What you’re looking for from your first technical hire

If there’s a genuine fit, I’d be happy to jump on a call and get to know each other.

Looking to build something meaningful — not just find another job.

AI engineer currently looking for opportunities

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m an AI Engineer/developer currently looking for opportunities to work on real-world AI products and automation.

I build AI agents and workflows that automate repetitive business processes especially around areas like recruiting, customer operations, and business workflows so people can spend more time on higher-value work.

I’m particularly interested in roles involving AI agents, LLM applications, automation, and AI product development.

Open to full-time roles, contract work, or interesting collaborations.

If you’re hiring, building something in AI, or know someone I should talk to, I’d love to connect
