Founding Senior Software Engineer — LLM Agents for RegTech
$150k–$180k base + meaningful equity
Jersey City, NJ
Regulatory complexity is quietly one of the biggest bottlenecks in building infrastructure. Power projects, data centres, and renewable energy developments can slip by months because the critical information, zoning codes, environmental filings, agency requirements, is scattered across thousands of documents with no single source of truth.
An early-stage AI company is solving this: their platform reads that regulatory information, connects it to specific projects and locations, and turns it into structured, explainable answers engineering teams can actually act on.
They're now hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join a small, highly technical team and help shape how the whole system is built.
What they're looking for:
✅ 4+ years Software Engineering experience
✅ Strong Python backend development
✅ Production experience with AI agents / LLM workflows
✅ Experience with LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, OpenAI APIs or similar
✅ Search systems + GraphQL / REST
✅ PostgreSQL / databases
If you're a strong backend engineer with serious AI/LLM experience and want genuine ownership at an early-stage company, apply to be considered!
