Founding Engineer New York City · In person $150,000–$250,000 salary + 1-3% equity About EcoGPT EcoGPT is building an AI company centered around people and the planet. We’ve grown to 3M+ users and are currently growing 50–100% month over month. We’re building an alternative to traditional AI platforms around better products, efficient AI, privacy, and safety. We’re a small team moving extremely quickly, and we’re looking for an exceptional engineer who wants to help build what comes next.
The Role:
- We’re hiring a Founding Engineer to help build the products and systems behind EcoGPT.
- This is a hands-on role with significant ownership. You might spend one day building a new user experience, the next improving our AI agent architecture, debugging a production issue, or making the product faster and more reliable.
- You’ll work directly with the founders and the rest of the team, taking ideas from early prototypes to products used by millions of people.
- You’ll help with: - Building and shipping features across our consumer apps and backend
- - Developing AI systems, including agents, tool use, memory, and retrieval
- - Improving model quality through evaluations and experimentation
- - Making thoughtful tradeoffs across latency, cost, reliability, and user experience
- - Building infrastructure that scales with our growth
- - Working closely with design and product to make complex technology feel simple
- - Taking responsibility for what you ship, from architecture through launch and iteration
- - Jumping into whichever engineering problem matters most that week
- Who We’re Looking For
- You’re probably a strong fit if you: - Have built and shipped ambitious products that people actually use
- - Understand your work deeply and can explain the decisions behind it
- - Have strong full-stack or backend engineering skills
- - Have hands-on experience building with AI models, ideally including agents or AI harnesses
- - Have strong product judgment and care about the details of the user experience
- - Move quickly without losing sight of quality, reliability, or privacy
- - Can take an open-ended problem and turn it into something that works
- - Communicate clearly and work well with a small, fast-moving team
- - Stay close to developments in AI and can distinguish useful advances from hype
- - Want meaningful ownership in building a consumer AI company
- We care much more about ability, initiative, and what you’ve built than a specific degree or number of years of experience. We want to see projects you know inside out and the impact they’ve had.
- Why EcoGPT
- You’ll join at an unusually early stage while already working on a product used by millions of people.
- You’ll work directly with the founders, own important technical decisions, and see your work reach users quickly. You’ll help shape both the product and the engineering team as EcoGPT grows.
