I just got into the a16z Speedrun SR006 cohort (0.5% acceptance rate), kicking off this January in San Francisco. I’m looking for a Staff-level AI Engineer from a top AI company (working with LLMs) to join me at the ground floor as Founding CTO.
What you’ll bring:
- 5+ years architecting, shipping & scaling AI products from 0 → 1
- Deep hands-on experience with LLMs, Evals, SLMs, conversational AI & real-time interactions
- Comfortable across mobile, web, databases, DevOps, and infra
- Ideally, Bay Area-based (we’ll be in SF for Speedrun)
What you’ll get:
- Founding equity, ownership, and a much lower salary than at big tech.
- A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help build the next unicorn company from day zero
- Direct access to a16z’s network and Speedrun support at the earliest stage
If you’re a Silicon Valley experienced AI Engineer who codes daily, ships, and dreams big, let’s talk.
