Why this grade This listing scored 51/100, which is a D. It lost the most ground on pay transparency. See the breakdown
- Description depth 20 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Freshness 12 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Remote clarity 8 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Role specificity 6 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Pay transparency 0 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →

That is the middle half of what comparable roles paid on this board over the last 90 days — 31 listings that did publish a figure, median $179k. It is not this employer's offer, and we have no idea what they pay. It is only what the rest of the market advertised.
Full-Time Senior Software Engineering
We're a stealth holding company acquiring and operating software businesses in overlooked, mission-critical industries - the systems that run the physical economy but have been ignored by Silicon Valley. We're rebuilding them as AI-native from the inside out.
We're small, well-capitalized, and moving fast. This is not a research lab. This is a build shop with real customers, real revenue, and real P&Ls.
The Role
You will be the AI engineer. You'll own:
-
Building the industry-specific GPT: the reasoning layer that encodes the domain expertise of each vertical we operate in.
-
Embedding AI-native functionality directly into our AI-native system of record: not bolt-on chatbots. Core workflow replacement. Agents that do the job.
-
Moving legacy systems of record datasets into new ai-native ones: Core workflow replacement. Agents that do the job.
-
Making it repeatable: Every new company we bring into the portfolio should benefit from the playbook, model stack, eval harness, and infra you build.
-
Managing AI talent across our operating companies: you'll be a player-coach for the AI engineers embedded at each sub.
Split: 90% building. 10% managing. If that ratio scares you, this isn't your role. If it excites you, keep reading.
What You'll Do…
-
Ship a working domain-specific agent into a live customer environment in your first 30 days
-
Build the eval infrastructure that lets us measure whether these agents are actually replacing human workflows (not vibes)
-
Fine-tune, distill, or route across frontier + open models depending on the economics of each vertical
-
Sit with customers. Watch them work. Instrument their workflows. Rebuild them.
-
Write the AI engineering playbook that every future portfolio company inherits on day one
Who You Are…
-
You are a builder first. You've shipped things people actually use. Alone or as the clear technical lead.
-
You are a forward-deployed engineer. You'll fly to a customer site, sit in their office, and understand the business before you write a line of code.
-
You've been called a 10x engineer and it wasn't in a self-review.
-
You have strong opinions about when to fine-tune vs. prompt vs. RAG vs. agent vs harness and you can defend them with numbers.
-
You've built with the current frontier stack (Claude, GPT, Gemini, open models) in production, not just in a Jupyter notebook.
-
You are allergic to slide decks and comfortable with ambiguity, small teams, and unglamorous industries.
What This Role Is Not…
-
A research role. We ship.
-
A management role. You build.
-
A "Head of AI" title for LinkedIn. You will be in the codebase daily.
-
A place for people who need process, roadmaps handed to them, or a 20-person team to feel productive.
We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you’re excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply.
