About the role

Founding AI Full-Stack Engineer

Location: New York City, NY

Employment Type: Full-time

Total Compensation: $145,000 - $190,000 salary + meaningful equity


We are seeking an exceptional founding full-stack engineer to spearhead our product innovation and feature development. The ideal candidate is a programming generalist with deep expertise in frontend development and a passion for AI.

You will work closely with the founding team in a fast-paced, agile environment, contributing to all phases of the software development lifecycle—from conception to deployment.

As an Applied AI Engineer at ProSights, you will lead development of our core ProSights product from the ground up. You’ll be building a platform that will reimagine the workflows of financial services companies from the ground up and be a driving force in the AI revolution for investment firms.

We cover all in-office meals and are in-person 6 workdays each week, with 1-2 optional work-from-home days each week. We share a co-working space with several other NYC-based YC companies.

We are open to engineers outside of New York who are interested in relocating, and we will sponsor visas of any sort (H-1B, TN, etc.)

Who We are Looking For

  • Passion for Technology: We operate at the forefront of technological innovation. Staying actively informed and engaged with the state-of-the-art in the field is essential.
  • Continuous Learning & Adaptability: In our fast paced environment**,** you will be challenged to explore areas that may be outside your comfort zone. You’ll need to be able to adapt to new challenges while continuing to deliver results.
  • Driven & Startup-Minded: This role demands a self-starter who thrives with autonomy, taking concepts from idea to execution while making critical technical decisions. As part of our scrappy team, you’ll embrace the challenges of startup life, working hard to solve real problems with the opportunity to see outsized reward and impact on investment firms.
  • Product & Attention to Quality: You should be deeply interested in understanding and solving investor challenges, at times even spending time with users to reimagine how investment firms operate. A commitment to excellence is essential, as every aspect of your work—from intuitive user interfaces to robust back-end systems—contributes to the end user experience.
