Most engineers spend years grinding at a single startup. What if you built three in your first year? We know that’s possible — and exciting.
At FutureSight Venture Studio, we don’t do maintenance work. We co-found, fund, and launch vertical AI startups from day zero — with the idea, early validation, capital, and embedded team already in place. Right now, we’re searching for a Founding AI Engineer who thrives on high ownership and rapid shipping to join our early-stage AI ventures. This isn’t traditional product engineering — this is greenfield building, solving real problems, and launching products that real users will engage with immediately.
The Problem Space
Too many engineers spend their early careers in incremental roles — shipping features, fixing bugs, maintaining systems. We believe the most valuable engineering work happens when you’re part of creating something new — defining the problem, owning the architecture, and watching real users interact with what you built.
What You’ll Do
- Build multiple 0→1 MVPs across different early-stage AI ventures.
- Work shoulder-to-shoulder with founders to translate validated ideas into live, production-ready software.
- Define the first version of the system architecture — and ship it fast.
- Use the latest AI models and agent frameworks to compress timelines from weeks to days.
- Watch real users engage with your work — and iterate early and rapidly.
What This Role Is — and Isn’t
This role is not:
- Maintenance work
- Feature polishing
- Legacy refactoring
This role is:
- Greenfield building
- Fast shipping
- High leverage
- High ownership
What You’ll Get
When you join FutureSight, you don’t just join a company — you help launch several from inception. We bring:
- Early equity & real ownership in each venture you help build.
- Direct exposure to experienced founders and investors.
- Embedded support teams including product, design, growth, and engineering resources.
- A proven studio model that de-risks the 0→1 process.
Why It Matters
Too many promising ventures never get off the ground because ideas never become products. We fix that by bringing the resources, process, and team you need before day one. Here, you won’t just work on the next sprint, you’ll help decide what the sprint should be.
