Job Description

 

Title:                 Founding AI Engineer – Agentic AI

Location:              New York, NY (Hybrid)
Employment Type: Full-Time 

About the AI Engineer role:

·       We’re hiring a Founding AI Engineer for Resolvd AI, an early-stage AI company building an autonomous workforce for the healthcare supply chain

What You’ll Do

·       Build and ship production-grade LLM and AI agent systems.

·       Work on agent orchestration, state management, tool use, evaluations, and failure handling.

·       Turn complex customer workflows into reusable AI platform capabilities.

·       Work with messy, unstructured enterprise data in healthcare and other verticals.

·       Collaborate directly with the founder and help shape the product and technical architecture.

 

What We’re Looking For

·       Strong hands-on software engineering experience with recent production coding experience.

·       Proven experience building and shipping LLM/agentic AI systems — beyond prompt engineering.

·       Experience with technologies such as LangGraph, DSPy, Inspect, Anthropic SDK, OpenAI SDK, or similar.

·       Experience with vertical AI, particularly healthcare, finance, insurance, or legal.

·       Experience working with unstructured data and complex enterprise workflows.

·       Previous experience as an early engineer at a startup is highly preferred.

·       Public AI/agent work such as GitHub repositories, technical blogs, talks, or OSS contributions is a strong plus.

·       Comfortable working in a small, fast-moving founding team and reporting directly to the founder.


Ideal candidate:

·       A Founding Engineer / Forward Deployed Engineer / Staff-level engineer who is still hands-on, has shipped production AI agents recently, and wants significant ownership in an early-stage company.
