Job Description

About the Role

AI Fund is launching a new venture in and seeking a Founder in Residence (FIR) to lead it from concept to company. This is a ground-floor opportunity for a product-oriented, technical builder with proven 0–1 product experience to shape, execute, and scale a venture.

As Founder in Residence, you will define the product vision, lead technical execution, and serve as the company’s CEO. You’ll apply deep GenAI expertise and product intuition to solve meaningful user problems—working in close partnership with a Product Builder, Technical Builder, and AI Fund leadership. This role demands high ownership, rapid iteration in ambiguous environments, and a founder mindset.

About PC:

EmbedFi is bringing a modern diligence stack to the lease and loan process for SMBs looking to get essential hardware and materials for their operations– from IT to construction equipment. Currently, hardware manufacturers offer steep terms or push small businesses to retail channels because it’s too risky and too costly to diligence those businesses. EmbedFi provides the ticket to entry for SMB’s by providing trusted, comprehensive risk analysis that enables them to get great terms fast and build trust by working with multiple lenders over the lifetime of their business.

What You'll Do:

  • Lead technical execution from early experimentation through MVP
  • Partner with a Product Builder to define and evolve the product vision
  • Explore and apply the latest GenAI capabilities to real-world use cases
  • Build and ship prototypes using LLMs, agents, RAG pipelines, eval frameworks, and more
  • Architect scalable, full-stack systems using modern cloud infrastructure
  • Engage directly with users to gather insights, iterate rapidly, and refine the product
  • Operate with a founder mindset, making bold decisions with incomplete data and driving execution forward
  • Set and maintain a high bar for engineering and product quality while moving fast
  • Required Qualifications:

  • Strong technical fluency in GenAI, LLMs, and modern ML frameworks
  • Hands-on experience shipping full-stack, cloud-native applications
  • Proven track record of building and launching 0–1 products
  • Comfortable leading in ambiguity and acting without perfect information
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills (product, design, GTM)
  • Excellent leadership and communication skills that inspire alignment and trust
  • Nice To have:

  • Prior startup or founding engineer experience
  • Familiarity with fundraising or technical stakeholder communication
  • Domain expertise in the SMB Fintech space
