About the Role

Delta AI builds an AI-powered, scenario-based training platform where trainees practice high-stakes conversations—such as sales calls, negotiations, leadership moments, and cross-cultural exchanges—against conversational AI roleplayers capable of realistic speech and real-time interaction. We are a dual-use company, serving both U.S. government and private-sector customers.

As a Founding Engineer, you will touch the whole stack: front-end UIs, APIs, database schemas, and system architecture. You will work daily with our CTO to shape product and technical direction, with the opportunity to grow into a leadership role as we scale.

Requirements

  • Proven experience shipping full-stack applications independently or on a team.
  • Proficiency in TypeScript, React, Node.js, and SQL.
  • Strong intuition for API design and system architecture.
  • Comfort with Git, monorepos, and CI/CD (GitHub Actions).
  • Experience developing alongside coding agents (e.g., Claude Code) to move fast is a big plus.

Bonus Skills:

  • T3 Stack
  • OpenTelemetry
  • E2E testing

Additional Information

  • We are currently raising our seed round and looking to hire within the next month.
  • We are looking for someone remotely in the Bay Area, but are open to those who live outside of the region.
  • Note: We do not sponsor visas now or in the future.
