Job Title: AI-Native Founding Engineer
Company Description: Fancysauce Inc. - AI-native load balancer for enterprise cost management
Job Description:
Join Fancysauce as our second engineer and partner with a proven founding team of Harvard grads and Apple alumni. You will own core platform verticals end-to-end, building agentic recipes that help companies optimize AI stacks. This high-autonomy role requires shipping fast in an AI-native environment to prevent company-compounding AI bills.
Location: San Francisco, USA
Why this role is remarkable:
Exceptional founding team with a history of success; the CEO previously scaled revenue to $100M+ with four successful exits, including Retain.ai ($30M raised).
Backed by tier-A investors including Afore Capital and strategic angels from industry leaders like OpenAI, Gemini, and Baseten.
Rare opportunity to join at the pre-seed stage as the second engineer, gaining massive equity and the ability to define agentic engineering principles from scratch.
What you will do:
Architect and deploy end-to-end product verticals, shipping high-quality code multiple times daily across the frontend, backend, and infrastructure.
Design and scale agentic engineering harnesses and observability tools that dynamically route model usage and optimize enterprise AI resources.
Act as a "manager of one" to define, plan, and execute technical roadmaps while collaborating directly with the CTO in a high-speed SF kitchen.
The ideal candidate:
3-5+ years of experience in full-stack engineering roles, with deep fluency in TypeScript, React, SQL, and a strong comfort level with Python.
An AI-native builder who actively leverages agentic engineering principles and AI coding tools to multiply their own productivity and output quality.
Proactive problem-solver with a high tolerance for ambiguity, capable of digging into GCP logs one moment and architectural design the next.
