Description For Founding Engineer

Consus is an innovative startup that serves as the single source of truth for government documents, helping companies navigate and understand complex government specifications to accelerate product launches. As a Founding Engineer, you'll take on a pivotal role leading all engineering and product development efforts, working directly with the CEO to shape the company's technical direction.

The ideal candidate will be someone who embraces extreme ownership and isn't afraid to take bold initiatives. This role requires a unique blend of technical expertise and leadership qualities, including experience with AI frameworks, database architecture, and distributed systems. You'll be instrumental in building scalable solutions that transform how companies interact with government documentation.

The position offers an attractive compensation package including both salary ($100K-$200K) and equity (0.50%-3.00%), reflecting the founding nature of the role. The company, founded in 2024, is well-funded and positioned for growth, offering an exceptional opportunity to join at the ground floor and make a significant impact.

The interview process is streamlined yet thorough, consisting of an initial founder call, project presentation, and a work trial period. This approach ensures both technical competency and cultural fit. The role offers flexibility with options for remote work or locations in major tech hubs.

This is an ideal opportunity for a technically skilled engineer who wants to be part of a transformative venture, working directly with leadership to build products that solve real-world challenges in government-business interactions. The role offers significant autonomy, growth potential, and the chance to shape both the technical and strategic direction of an emerging company.
