Founding Engineer

About

This is an early-stage VC-backed startup in Paris, building the infrastructure layer that allows AI to reason across entire enterprise systems.

Their system maps decades of code, data, and business logic into a unified knowledge graph – so AI agents can understand, navigate, and transform these systems autonomously.

$6M seed closed (tier-1 VCs), first enterprise clients signed, four engineers already in place. 

The team is small, technical, and moving fast. This is a true founding-stage environment.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement the core enterprise knowledge graph connecting data, codebases, and business processes
  • Architect systems that integrate heterogeneous enterprise applications into a unified control layer
  • Build GenAI-powered workflows that operate on top of this ontology
  • Turn forward-deployed prototypes into reusable, scalable product components
  • Develop robust evaluation frameworks and infrastructure to ensure reliability at enterprise scale
  • Design secure deployments, including on-prem environments with strict compliance requirements

What you'll need

  • Strong academic background from a top-tier engineering school
  • Excellent programming skills in Python, Java, or Go with strong system design fundamentals
  • Experience modelling complex systems (schemas, ontologies, metadata layers, knowledge graphs)
  • Practical experience integrating LLMs or GenAI workflows into production systems (RAG, embeddings, prompt design)
  • Comfort translating ambiguous strategic vision into concrete technical architecture
  • Bias for action and full end-to-end ownership

Shortlisted candidates will be contacted within 48 hours.
