Founding AI Engineer (US based only)



Full-Time 



About Drift



Drift is an AI-powered copilot for robotics simulations. We help robotics developers set up, debug, and run simulations using natural language integrating seamlessly with ROS, Gazebo, and other simulation tools. Our mission is to democratise robotics development by reducing simulation time from months to days.


About the Role



We're hiring our Founding AI Engineer. You'll work directly with the founders to architect and build the core systems that makes Drift intelligent.
This isn't a role where you'll be handed specs. You'll be in the room shaping what we build and how we build it.


What You'll Work On



- Improving & implementing the Agentic capabilities of Drift
- Building context systems that pull relevant information from documentation, codebases, and past interactions
- Developing validation and error-correction mechanisms for generated scripts and workspaces
- Creating internal tooling for debugging agent behavior and measuring improvements
- Designing feedback loops that help the agent improve over time


What We're Looking For



- Min 2+ years of engineering experience in Software and AI based systems
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Python
- Experience building LLM based applications - agents, copilots, or similar systems
- Deep familiarity with prompt engineering, RAG, and context management
- Systems thinking - you can design how pieces fit together, not just implement them
- Comfort with ambiguity and ownership; you'll be defining the roadmap alongside us


Nice to Have



- Experience with ROS, Gazebo, or robotics simulation
- Background in developer tools, CLI applications, or IDE extensions
- Familiarity with evaluation and benchmarking for AI systems


Why Join Now



You'll be one of the first engineers at Drift, with real ownership over the technical direction. The problems are hard, the scope is wide, and you'll have direct impact on everything we ship.


This position is open to US citizens only.
