Founding AI Engineer

At Foxelli, we’re building more than e-commerce brands - we’re building a tribe of thoughtful humans: AI enthusiasts, curious builders, and ambitious minds who care about doing meaningful work together. Ten years in, our D2C brands reach millions and generate over $20M annually. Our focus stays simple: create products customers love and a team that actually enjoys building them.

If you love to learn, experiment, think boldly, make decisions, and build things that matter - you’ll feel at home with us.

THE ROLE

As a Founding AI Engineer, you will work directly with the founder to design, build, and iterate on various AI systems. The projects will vary - from computer vision and image manipulation to automated video generation and agentic data analysis. You will be responsible for the full pipeline: from R&D of the best AI models to deploying scalable web applications.

Who You Are:

• You have abandoned "manual-only" coding. You are a power user of tools like GPT Codex, Claude code, and Replit, allowing you to build at a 10x pace.
• You are comfortable working across different AI domains - LLMs (Text/Reasoning), Diffusion (Image/Video), and Vision models.
• You thrive in an environment where projects evolve. You are a fast learner who can master a new AI framework or API over a weekend.
• You focus on ROI. You build lean MVPs, test them in our real-world e-commerce operations, and only then polish them for scale.
• You know how to orchestrate multiple AI models into a single "Agentic" workflow that handles complex tasks autonomously.

Technical Interests:

• Stack: Next.js / Python (FastAPI).
• AI Frameworks: ComfyUI / Diffusers, IP-Adapters, ControlNet, and Agentic frameworks (LangChain/CrewAI).
• Infrastructure: Experience with Serverless GPU providers (Replicate, Fal, RunPod).
• Integrations: Skilled at connecting diverse APIs to create seamless automated systems.

Why Join Us:

• Direct Impact: Build tools that are immediately put to use in real-world business scenarios.
• Extreme Speed: No corporate red tape. If the tech works, we ship it.
• Evolution: This is a founding role with the opportunity to lead multiple product lines as we transition from internal tools to SaaS.
