Founding AI-Native Full-Stack Engineer - Remote

GuruLink is an AI-powered growth engine for the world's most ambitious teams.

We started by building growth infra for YC-backed, founder-led startups, and we've now raised funding to launch a 0→1 AI-native product that changes how teams communicate, qualify, and convert interest into pipeline.

We're hiring a Founding Engineer to be our first technical hire and work directly with our founder to design and build that product from zero.

This is a high-leverage, high-ownership role — the person who ships with us now will shape the technical foundation of the company and grow with it.

This isn't a contractor gig. It's a rare opportunity to join as a founding engineer, build a product from the ground up, own critical systems, and move fast in a startup where your work actually ships.

What You'll Do

• Own and ship end-to-end features, from product architecture to UX, powered by LLMs and AI-native workflows
• Build and optimize AI agents and automation pipelines that route, qualify, and convert inbound interest
• Integrate with modern tools and platforms (Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo, Clay, Google Workspace, etc.) to automate and streamline workflows
• Design and scale a backend that handles complex data, automation, and real-time integrations
• Work closely with the founder and product team to set technical direction and make key architectural decisions
• Use AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Replit, v0, Lovable) to accelerate development and ship high-quality code fast
• Move fast, ship quickly, and iterate based on feedback from real users and founders
• Stay on top of emerging AI tools, frameworks, and best practices to keep our stack cutting-edge

What You'll Bring

• Strong experience building production-grade full-stack applications, with deep expertise in React, Node.js, TypeScript, and modern frontend frameworks
• A passion for AI-native products and experience integrating LLMs, building agents, and designing AI-driven workflows
• Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases (Postgres, Supabase, MongoDB, etc.) and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Vercel)
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of the full product lifecycle, from ideation to deployment
• A builder's mindset — you're not just an engineer, you're a product thinker who cares about the user experience
• A strong track record of shipping fast, iterating quickly, and solving hard problems
• (Bonus) Experience with AI coding assistants like Cursor, Claude Code, or similar tools
• (Bonus) Experience with marketing tech, CRMs, or automation tools like Zapier, Make, n8n
• (Bonus) Experience with HubSpot, Salesforce, or Apollo integrations

Why This Role Is Different

• You'll be one of the first engineers at GuruLink, with direct influence over technical decisions and product direction
• You'll work closely with the founder and be part of a small, focused team that ships fast and iterates quickly
• You'll have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI technology and build a product that has real impact
• You'll be joining a well-funded startup with a clear vision and a strong team

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation and equity
• Fully remote, flexible work — work from anywhere, on your own schedule
• A fast-paced, high-energy environment where you'll learn quickly and grow fast
• Direct mentorship from the founder and access to a network of experienced entrepreneurs and investors
