Founding Full Stack AI Engineer

🧠 About BRIX AI

At BRIX AI, we're redefining the way people share and access personal knowledge. We’re building a platform where individuals train AI models through natural inputs to reflect their own insights, experiences, and connections.

We’re not just creating another AI tool—we’re building a new kind of social utility: one that focuses on connection, not clout. 

🚀 About the Role

We’re looking for a Founding Full Stack Engineer to help bring BRIX AI to the next level to get us to the next fundraising round—someone who’s eager to build, learn, and grow in a fast-moving, early-stage environment. You’ll work directly with the founder and lead all things technical: front-end development, back-end logic, database design, AI model integration, and possibly SMS workflows. This is a builder’s dream role with real ownership.

If you're looking for a polished, 9-to-5 role—this isn't it. But if you want the freedom to create, the thrill of startup growth, and the chance to work on one of the most exciting intersections of AI, human connection, and digital identity, read on.

🧰 Responsibilities

Own the entire product stack (React + Node/Express or similar)

Develop scalable front-end components for chatbot creation, customization, and sharing

Build backend architecture with user authentication, database (PostgreSQL or Supabase), and marketplace logic

Integrate with different APIs, experiment with context memory and persona tuning

(Optional but exciting) Integrate SMS/MMS communication tools (e.g., Twilio) for low-friction bot training

Collaborate with the founder on UI/UX design, product features, and growth experiments

Help define technical strategy, development roadmap, and future hires

🧠 Qualifications

Strong experience with React, Node.js, and modern full stack development

Comfort working with PostgreSQL, Supabase, or Firebase

Strong product sensibility—experience building user-facing features or side projects

Ability to work independently and make architecture decisions

Curious about digital identity, AI personalization, and the future of human-computer interaction

Bonus: experience with Twilio or other SMS messaging APIs

🌍 What We Offer

Equity and co-founder opportunity for long-term contributors

Seed capital from a grant to fund early development

Direct access to mentors, advisors, and the Arizona State venture network

A clear vision and a real shot at building a breakout product in a new category

The chance to work on a meaningful product with actual users, not just theory
