AI FundAI FundSan Francisco, CA

Head of Engineering-Founding Team Member

About the role

Responsibilities

  • Own the codebase and technical direction: architecture, quality bar, shipping cadence, production reliability.
  • Own and evolve a live Shopify app and storefront integration, hardening it across OS 2.0 and legacy theme realities with safe rollouts and easy rollback.
  • Extend the mobile web creator upload flow with Mux: QR → prompt → record/upload → consent → submit.
  • Turn content readiness from manual workflows into product: review/approve/publish, SKU mapping, internal tooling to automation.

What Success Looks Like

  • Onboarding new customers becomes boring and repeatable.
  • Founder minutes per merchant drops materially because workflows are productized.
  • Scale customers without bespoke engineering per store.

Required Qualifications

  • End-to-end production owner: design, ship, operate, and debug; close loops fast.
  • Strong fundamentals: performance, reliability, security, and product/UX judgment (especially on conversion-sensitive surfaces).
  • AI-native builder: ship production code with agentic tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, similar); use AI for speed, keep quality high with tests/CI/observability, debug AI output errors.
  • Thrive in ambiguity and very small-team environment.
  • Ship primarily in TypeScript today, but prioritize fundamentals and AI-native approaches.

Nice to Haves

  • Shopify apps/theme integration experience, or embedded widget/SDK experience in hostile third-party environments.
  • Video pipeline familiarity (Mux or similar).
  • Experimentation/analytics rigor: clean event design, integrity checks, debugging.
