Still very early stage so I care more about skill curiosity and execution than fancy resumes or big company tags.\n\nNeed someone who stays updated with the AI ecosystem likes building fast and can turn ideas into actual working products. If your entire experience is cloning generic AI wrappers this probably won’t be a fit.\n\nYou should be comfortable with AI tools APIs backend systems automation and experimenting with new models and workflows. Most importantly you should genuinely enjoy building.\n\n**I can’t promise a huge salary right now ** so this is better suited for someone who wants to build something ambitious from the ground up instead of just doing another job.\n\nIf interested send your GitHub [founders@taxcopilot.link](mailto:founders@taxcopilot.link)\n\n[taxcopilot.link](https://taxcopilot.link/)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/looking-for-a-founding-engineer", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/guru_vyas_860886f635ffe55/looking-for-a-founding-engineer-4d9g", "published_at": "2026-05-26 23:04:08+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-26 23:33:24.594604+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-startups", "ai-products", "ai-tools", "artificial-intelligence", "generative-ai"], "entities": ["TaxCopilot", "GitHub"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/looking-for-a-founding-engineer", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/looking-for-a-founding-engineer.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/looking-for-a-founding-engineer.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/looking-for-a-founding-engineer.jsonld"}}
