This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-moving, early-stage startup as one of our first non-founder engineers. You will have a significant impact on the product and company culture, working on a single, core project that is central to our vision. We are seeking individuals who are passionate about building production-grade, enterprise-level software and are eager to take ownership of their work.

## About Us

Ariso is unlocking the world's first AI Superteam—bridging the gap between potential and performance by empowering every employee with personalized, contextual intelligence. Our AI collaborators connect people to their teams and mission, turning scattered data into coordinated action. We're a high-trust, radically transparent startup, combining expertise in AI, product, and organizational psychology to build agentic AI that helps organizations and individuals thrive together.

## What You'll Do

- Architect and build agentic AI applications using cutting-edge frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, custom LLM orchestration stacks) to deliver autonomous, interactive workflows.
- Design, implement, and refine digital agents that plan, reason, and act within complex enterprise environments, not just model wrappers.
- Own end-to-end delivery of agent-powered product features—prototype rapidly, but scale robustly for production.
- Collaborate closely across product, design, and data to shape agent behavior, user experience, and system reliability.

## What We're Looking For

**Experience:**

- Proven experience in building production-grade, enterprise-level software.
- Ideal candidates will have experience with projects related to enterprise knowledge and/or AI copilot, AI assistant, AI coaching products.

**Technical Skills:**

- Strong proficiency in TypeScript (80% focus).
- Experience with front-end UIs, preferably Vue.js.
- Proficiency with AWS and Kubernetes.
- Experience experimenting with and understanding the nuances of multiple AI models from different providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini).
- Proficiency in AI agent frameworks (LangGraph or similar), and experience building LLM-powered, autonomous, multi-step agents.
- Fluency with prompt engineering, tool integrations, and security/privacy in agent-driven apps.
- Deep understanding of language models, planning algorithms, decision-making frameworks, and memory/retrieval architectures that underpin agentic AI.
- Bonus: Experience with voice models.

**Mindset:**

- Nimble, able to "roll up sleeves" and get hands dirty in an early-stage startup environment.
- Possesses a strong passion for building and a "no ego" approach to work.
- Takes ownership and intuitively understands user perspectives, use cases, and desired outcomes.
- Willing to be flexible with work hours, demonstrating commitment and thinking about the product's success consistently.
- Possesses a "what good looks like" mentality, derived from prior experience.
- Curious, multidisciplinary thinker—comfortable wearing product, UX, and technical "hats" to iterate and scale agent-first features.
- Experience (or appetite) for shipping v1s in startup chaos, turning ambiguous requirements into running agents that solve real business problems.
- Strong sense of ownership—thinks from the user's perspective.

**Education:**

- No specific degree or certification requirements.

## Work Model & Location

This is a hybrid role, with a setup of three weeks remote and one week on-site per month. On-site weeks will rotate between our current team locations in Columbus, Ohio, and Raleigh, North Carolina. While our primary focus is on candidates in these two areas (Ohio and North Carolina), we will also consider candidates in locations such as Boston, New York, Atlanta, the DC area, and the Bay Area on the West Coast.

## Compensation & Benefits

- Competitive market base salary. We are particularly interested in candidates who value equity and are willing to take on higher risk for greater ownership.
- Healthcare and medical benefits are provided, effective on the first day of the following month of employment, along with an HSA plan.
- No 401k or yearly performance bonuses are currently offered, but these will be considered as the company grows.
