Founding Engineer

TL;DR / Summary

Ideal for students about to graduate, early-career engineers switching roles, or builders ready to dive into a high-impact entrepreneurial venture.

We’re building Shiplog, the AI operating system for product marketing. Our agents read your product like a teammate, turning Jira, GitHub, Confluence, and internal business knowledge into automated GTM outputs.

• Founder: Khushi Mehta — ex-Kleio marketing lead, operator with deep AI SaaS + PMM experience.
• Traction: MVP live, 40+ customer interviews, discovery with high-growth SaaS, dev tooling, and fintech companies, early interest from a16z, Sequoia, Lightspeed, Accel, Techstars, Antler, HubSpot Ventures.
• Funding: No salary right now — equity + early fundraising together. Relationships with tier-1 investors already in place.
  

Software companies ship fast — but communicating releases is still manual. PMMs dig through Jira, chase engineers, interpret commits, and rewrite updates across release notes, sales decks, customer emails, and marketing channels.

Product knowledge is fragmented. Messaging is late. Revenue leaks.

Shiplog fixes this: we connect your codebase and product systems to your GTM stack. AI agents continuously understand what shipped, why it matters, and turn it into ready-to-use product marketing outputs across every channel.

Think: AI agents that read your product like a teammate, continuously. Product marketing automation for the modern software company.

• MVP live with design partners
• 40+ deep PMM interviews — pain validated across high-growth SaaS, fintech, and developer tooling companies
• Discovery with PMMs at Series B+ startups and large tech companies
• Waitlist building with strong inbound demand
• Early conversations with investors at a16z, Sequoia, Lightspeed, Accel, Techstars, Antler, HubSpot Ventures
• Delaware C-Corp — building globally, team relocating to Tel Aviv

We’re at the point where both customers and investors are actively seeking us out.

• You’ve built and shipped real AI systems in production
• Comfortable with:
• Agentic AI workflows + LLM orchestration
• RAG pipelines + knowledge systems
• Complex SaaS integrations (dev tools + GTM stack)
• Taking products from MVP → scale
• You’ve been a founding engineer, early startup engineer, or you’re ready to take a founding-level role
• Bonus: interest in product marketing, GTM, or developer tooling

You thrive on ownership, speed, and building from zero.

This is a risk/reward opportunity — no salary at the start, but huge equity and fundraising potential together.

• Architect and build the core AI agent platform
• Define technical direction and roadmap
• Ship fast with design partners and iterate continuously
• Integrate deeply across dev + GTM systems
• Hire and lead the engineering team
• Co-lead fundraising and investor conversations

You won’t just write code — you’ll help define the company.

• 30%+ founding equity
• Full ownership of technical roadmap
• Category-defining problem at the intersection of AI, dev workflows, and GTM
• Direct exposure to top investors and early high-growth customers
• Zero bureaucracy — just building
  

High intensity. High ownership. High leverage.

If you want comfort — this isn’t it.

If you want to build an AI infrastructure that changes how software companies communicate what they ship — this is your chance.
