About the RoleAn early-stage AI-native B2B SaaS company building an AI-driven pricing and monetization platform is looking for a
Founding Product Engineer to join as one of the first engineers on the team. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role where you will define architecture, own entire product modules end-to-end, and work directly with customers and leadership to shape how the product evolves.
The platform helps B2B companies continuously optimize their pricing lifecycle - covering packaging design, scenario simulation, quote recommendations, deal coaching, discount governance, and more. You will be instrumental in moving core financial logic server-side, extending a typed pricing ontology, and ensuring every feature can be driven by LLM agents.
This role is
on-site in San Francisco, CA.
US work authorization is required; visa sponsorship is not available.What You'll Do- Own whole product modules end-to-end: scope with customers, design versioned APIs, build the UI, ship, and iterate.
- Design and evolve architecture for agentic AI systems across Slack bots, terminal UIs, web interfaces, and vendor integrations.
- Ensure product features are drivable by LLM agents via MCP/FastMCP server endpoints and conversational interfaces.
- Move pricing and business logic off the client into backend services to preserve financial fidelity.
- Extend and maintain a typed pricing ontology using Pydantic models (e.g., SKU, Proposition, Persona, Pricing - with Customer, Contract, and Quote on the roadmap).
- Lead technical discussions and architectural reviews to keep systems robust, extensible, and secure.
- Establish testing, observability, deployment, and performance monitoring practices for AI-driven features.
- Mentor peers, influence product strategy, and help set engineering culture and best practices.
- Treat money-handling code as load-bearing; prioritize root-cause analysis for production issues.
- Adopt and continuously improve an AI-native SDLC where agents assist with code generation and automated review gates.
What We're Looking ForMust-haves:- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership of full product areas at startup or staff-level scope.
- Deep backend expertise with production experience in FastAPI, Python, and MongoDB (or a comparable modern stack).
- Proven track record of shipping end-to-end modules: customer scoping 1 versioned API design 1 React UI 1 production delivery.
- Credible frontend range with React and TypeScript; able to ship a clean, polished UI independently.
- Experience designing server-side business logic, versioned APIs, and ensuring testing, observability, and deployment for AI-driven features.
- Experience building or integrating AI-assisted features and agent-driven workflows (e.g., LLM-driven interfaces, MCP-like endpoints).
- Familiarity with B2B SaaS monetization concepts: pricing models, packaging, and quoting.
- High standards for correctness, especially around financial logic.
- Authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
Nice-to-haves:- Experience building MCP servers or tooling for LLM agents.
- Background in billing, CPQ, metering, or pricing systems.
- Experience with data-dense frontend components and/or conversational interfaces.
- Familiarity with data residency, SOC 2, or GDPR-compliant development practices.
- Prior experience as a technical founder, co-founder, or early employee who shipped a 0-to-1 B2B product to paying customers.
Compensation & Benefits- Salary: $200,000 - $250,000 USD per year
- Early-stage equity commensurate with a founding-team role
- Opportunity to shape product, engineering culture, and company direction from day one
