About this Role
We are looking for a Founding Engineer with 2+ years of experience to join Source (backed by a $20M round from Kleiner Perkins) as a core builder of an AI-native supply chain company that uses LLMs to buy and sell inventory. You'll own massive, ambiguous problems end-to-end, from architecture to customer conversations, and help shape the technical direction and culture from day one.
What you need
- Technically excellent, you must be an outstanding engineer with strong CS fundamentals and a track record of shipping high-impact work
- High slope / high trajectory, evidence of continuous, rapid growth (e.g., fast progression at a strong company, then taking on founding-level ownership)
- Autonomous and hungry, you show up early, stay late, run at hard problems without needing direction, and ship relentlessly
- Personable enough to be customer-facing, common-sense problem solver who can hop on a call with a buyer or supplier
- Something remarkable about you, a standout achievement in school or work that signals you're in the top tier
What will you be doing?
Own entire problem domains (e.g., purchase order lifecycle, entity resolution, agentic search) as a "GME", architecting, building, and iterating with zero hand-holding
Build core AI infrastructure: entity matching/MDP resolution, product substitution via RAG, pricing discovery, and a durable-execution agent platform running distributed systems at scale
Get on the phone with customers directly to understand their operations, gather feedback, and translate messy real-world problems into shipped solutions
Work with large-scale, real-world supply chain data to automate workflows that currently run on email, PDFs, and tribal knowledge
Set the engineering bar and culture as one of the first engineers on the team
