Founding AI Engineer

Full-time · San Francisco

You will help define how Kinro builds software in the age of agents. This is a hands-on role for someone who has built AI products end-to-end, trusts agentic coding as a force multiplier, and can ship across product, backend, evals, and infrastructure with strong systems judgment.

Role focus
  • —Build AI product systems end-to-end, from tool use and backend services to evals and production monitoring.
  • —Use agentic coding tools aggressively and responsibly: break down large problems, set guardrails, and review generated work with high standards.
  • —Improve agent quality, latency, safety, and cost through better architectures, feedback loops, and evaluation harnesses.
Strong signals
  • —You have built AI products, agent workflows, or LLM systems end-to-end in production.
  • —You know when to trust an agent, when to intervene, and how to structure work so the agent succeeds.
  • —You understand tool calling, latency, reliability, security, and cost tradeoffs in agentic systems.

Tell us how you use agentic coding tools in your workflow. What works, what doesn't, how far do you push it?

Walk us through the architecture, the tradeoffs you made, and what you'd do differently.

If you don't yet have deep production experience, share something you built on your own. Up to 3 links.

Any experience with LLM apps, evals, prompt pipelines, RAG, or fine-tuning? What have you shipped?
