3+ years expLeeroo is a YC-backed company developing continuously learning AI agents that evolve into expert teammates. As a Founding Engineer, you will guide customers through the lifecycle of AI solutions, collaborating with stakeholders to deliver production value quickly and efficiently.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)Software
Responsibilities
Be a customer-first problem solver: work end-to-end with customers, from discovery to delivery, turning ambiguous asks into scoped, shippable plans with clear ROI, while navigating the messy middle (chasing data owners, mapping processes, wrangling imperfect data/APIs) to show the impact of Leeroo Agents effectively
Build state-of-the-art GenAI applications across enterprise use cases by connecting our continuous-learning agents, co-driving transformation with customers
Work in a tight loop with Core Research & Product Engineering: as an FDE you surface reusable patterns from real customer work (prototype solutions, test usability, identify what’s generalizable); Core teams then productize those insights into the Leeroo platform/Learning Engine so the next customer needs less custom work and ships faster
Join pre-sales and discovery calls to understand needs, shape solution roadmaps, and provide clear technical guidance on Leeroo’s approach and ecosystem choices
