Founding Full Stack Engineer (AI-Native)

Skiffra is building the intelligence layer for the physical world. We translate complex, real-world environments into clear, actionable data.
While most AI companies focus on digital industries, we design AI native orchestration systems for the sectors that extract, move, and build ecosystems around us. We turn messy, high stakes operations into intelligent, adaptive workflows that improve decisions in real time.
Our first proving ground is mining and natural resources, but the platform is modular by design and built to scale into any industry where decisions are expensive and the consequences are real.

As a Founding Full-Stack Engineer, you will build across backend, frontend, and agentic layers to turn messy operational reality into fast, AI-native systems. This is a hands-on founding role with real users, real environments, and real consequences.

• Build end-to-end product features across backend, frontend, and agentic layers

• Integrate LLMs and design safe, pragmatic tool interfaces

• Prototype quickly and iterate based on live operational feedback

• Debug across the entire stack and remove bottlenecks

• Collaborate closely with product, domain experts, and early customers

• Influence architecture, engineering standards, and the early roadmap

• Help shape hiring and engineering culture from the ground up

• 7+ years of relevant engineering experience

• Strong fluency in Python or TypeScript

• Proven ability to ship full-stack features end-to-end

• Experience integrating LLM APIs or building AI-augmented features

• Strong debugging skills across backend and frontend

• Clear communicator with a bias toward action and simplicity

• Experience with agentic workflows or tool-use patterns

• Familiarity with React, Node, FastAPI, Next.js, or similar frameworks

• Exposure to workflow engines or event-driven systems

• Experience in operations-heavy domains

• Prior zero-to-one or startup experience

We value speed, clarity, and technical rigor. We favor simple systems over clever ones, prototypes over over-planning, and ownership over handoffs. You’ll work directly with founders and ship things that matter quickly.

This is a hybrid role with regular in-person collaboration in Los Angeles or the San Francisco Bay Area. We are not a remote-only company.

Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States. We are not able to offer visa sponsorship for this role.

This position is eligible for Skiffra’s standard benefits, including health insurance and retirement plans, and may also qualify for participation in the Company’s bonus and incentive programs.

Skiffra is an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.
