Founding Engineer - Applied AI (San Jose)

Founding Engineer - Applied AI

Strativ are assembling the Founding Engineering team for a new AI startup tackling a $100bn+ per year inefficiency in the physical world. Fresh off an 8 oversubscribed Seed round - with investors including Palantir and OpenAI - the company is building advanced agentic AI to transform how $2T of industrial goods move through the global supply chain.

This is not another incremental SaaS tool. Youll build AI systems and deploy agents that directly influence how Fortune 100 enterprises run their worldwide operations. Youll be working alongside a world-class early team of ex-Quants, Oxford / Waterloo grads, and engineers from elite tech firms like X. The company has multiple early products already in motion, extremely strong inbound customer demand, and a long-term vision on the scale of Palantirs early mission.

If you want to work relentlessly, solve real-world problems with massive economic impact, and help build a generational AI company from day zero; this is that moment.

Key skills / experience required;

• 3+ years' experience in Software Engineering
• Hands-on experience building with LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Azure, etc.).
• Strong understanding of agent frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, or custom-built tools)
• Understanding of distributed systems, microservices, and event-driven architectures
• MS / BS in CS or similar

Please apply ASAP for more info.
