Who We Are:
AI is the new electricity: Just as electricity transformed numerous industries starting 100 years ago, AI is now poised to do the same. AI Fund is a startup studio building new AI companies from the ground up. Our companies bridge AI technology and applications, focusing on industries and problems that we believe move the world forward. Founded by Dr. Andrew Ng, our team merges a deep understanding of AI technology with a proven ability to start new ventures. We have a unique business model that prepares founding members of a portfolio company with technical validation of the idea, experienced back office operational support, and our team’s AI know-how as well as connections within the AI community. This is an excellent opportunity for you to get in on the ground floor of an exciting AI Venture Firm and through it, grow its portfolio.
What We’re Looking For:
We’re seeking a Full-Stack Software Engineer, a true hacker, who thrives in extremely dynamic environments where the primary goal is to churn out functional prototypes in close coordination with small, scrappy cross-functional teams. The ideal candidate is experienced in both front-end and back-end development, comfortable working across the tech stack, and thrives in fast-paced environments where rapid prototyping and experimentation are key. This role focuses on building diverse, functional prototypes — so adaptability, creativity, and a broad technical skill set are key to success. If cranking out one to four new and modified prototype applications every day is exciting to you, this is the job for you.
This is a contract opportunity for candidates based in Latin America.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and maintain both client-side and server-side components of a multitude of different applications with completely different objectives.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., product, design, QA) to build and iterate on prototypes that validate new ideas and user experiences.
- Build and integrate APIs and third-party services.
- Create and manage databases and ensure desired functionality.
- Participate in architecture discussions and technical planning.
- Identify and troubleshoot issues across the stack.
- Contribute to improving development processes, tools, and team practices.
- Stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies.
