Role Overview: Founding Member of Technical Staff

This role is based at tierzero's San Francisco headquarters. In-person work is required three days a week.

As a founding member of the technical team, you will help design and build core products and systems from the ground up. Collaboration is central: expect to work closely with the CEO, CTO, and customers. Projects span a wide range of technical challenges and product areas.

What You Will Do

  • Design and implement intelligent AI systems that process and reason over large volumes of unstructured data.
  • Develop full-stack features, incorporating direct feedback from users.
  • Improve the product experience so intelligent agents are practical and reliable for engineers.
  • Create systems that automatically evaluate LLM outputs and refine agent reasoning using self-play and feedback loops.
  • Build machine learning pipelines covering data ingestion, feature generation, embedding stores, RAG pipelines, vector search, and graph databases.
  • Prototype and experiment with open-source and advanced LLMs to weigh different approaches.
  • Set up scalable infrastructure for long-running, multi-step agents, including memory management, state handling, and asynchronous workflows.

What We Look For

  • At least 5 years of professional or open-source experience in a relevant technical field.
  • Comfort working in a setting that changes and evolves quickly.
  • Strong product focus and an understanding of customer needs.
  • Interest in LLMs, MCPs, cloud infrastructure, and observability tools.
  • Ability to learn from and collaborate with engineers who have delivered over $10 billion in value.
  • Commitment to working onsite in San Francisco three days per week.
  • Startup experience is a plus.
