**About Ezra**
Ezra is building the AI-powered recruiter of the future.
Our voice-based platform conducts natural, personalized interviews at scale—so
hiring teams can quickly surface the best candidates, without spending hours
on phone screens. The product is live, early customers are using it, and we’re
backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z Speedrun), NEA, and other top-tier
investors.
Now we’re hiring our Founding Engineer to help us take Ezra from early
traction to breakout growth.
⸻
**The Role**
As Ezra’s first full-time engineering hire, you’ll partner directly with the
CEO to own the architecture, engineering strategy, and technical execution
across the entire product. You’ll work across the stack—from real-time voice
AI systems to intuitive front-end interfaces—and help lay the foundation for
the team, codebase, and culture as we grow.
This is a unique opportunity to join a funded, post-MVP startup and build a
product that’s already in use with real customers.

• Lead engineering end-to-end—backend, frontend, infra, and DevOps
• Prototype and integrate cutting-edge voice AI pipelines
• Make foundational decisions about architecture, infrastructure, and tooling
• Collaborate with the CEO to shape product roadmap and execution
• Build toward a system that supports high-volume hiring and tight feedback
loops
• Establish engineering practices (testing, monitoring, CI/CD, etc.) from the
ground up
• Help hire, onboard, and mentor the early engineering team
⸻
**What We’re Looking For**
• 9+ years of experience building production systems
• Fluency in Node.js, React, TypeScript, and Python
• You’ve shipped and scaled real products, ideally at fast-moving startups
• You’re excited about AI and voice interfaces, and have worked with LLMs or
similar tools
• You’re scrappy, self-directed, and love working across product and
engineering
• You thrive in ambiguity and know how to balance shipping fast with technical
debt
