Founding Software Engineer
Founding Software Engineer
Search Party CapitalCurrently in stealth, founded by ex-unicorn founder who raised $150M+ in last company.
We're building the world’s leading platform that tracks and manipulates brand presence inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and every other LLM that's replacing Google. While marketers are still obsessed with keyword rankings, we're solving a harder problem: how to monitor, measure, and influence what AI models say about your brand when they answer over 200 million questions daily.
This is the most important marketing category of the decade.
The Technical Challenge: This isn't another SaaS dashboard. We're building infrastructure for an entirely new category:
- Multi-Model Interrogation: Systematically querying ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity at scale without getting rate-limited. Building robust APIs that adapt to model updates, different response formats, and access restrictions.
- LLM Response Intelligence: Parsing unstructured AI responses to identify brand mentions, competitive positioning, and citation patterns. Building NLP systems that understand context and implied mentions across thousands of prompt variations.
- Model Memory Tracking: Monitoring how content gets ingested into training data and detecting when competitors gain/lose presence in model responses. Creating real-time alerts for brand positioning shifts.
- Prompt Engineering for Brand Injection: Reverse-engineering which content formats influence model retrieval. Building feedback loops to test content optimization against actual model responses.
- Cross-Model Prediction: Managing brand presence across models with different training cycles and biases. Predicting which strategies persist through model updates.
Who You Are
- You've been building things since you were a kid - this is your craft, not your career
- You're AI-native: You don't just use LLMs, you understand how they work under the hood
- You see the technical challenge here and get excited, not overwhelmed
- You ship fast and iterate faster - we're talking days, not sprints
- You've built systems that handle API complexity, rate limiting, and data parsing at scale
What You'll Build
- Core platform for monitoring brand presence across multiple LLMs
- API orchestration systems that can query models without triggering restrictions
- NLP pipelines that extract meaningful insights from unstructured AI responses
- Real-time monitoring and alerting systems for brand mention changes
- Content optimization tools that influence model training and responses
What We Don't Want
- Engineers who need extensive management or hand-holding
- Anyone afraid of working with rapidly evolving AI APIs and undocumented model behaviors
- Resume builders looking for their next 18-month stint
The Reality: This represents founding-level equity, in a venture-backed company, targeting a multi-billion-dollar outcome in the most important category of the decade. You'll work directly with proven founders who have scaled to $1BN+ before. And alongside co-founder/CTO Ryan Brown building the infrastructure layer for how brands compete in an AI-first world.
Long hours, high intensity, constant iteration. But also the chance to own a significant piece of the future for AI-native brand marketing. If you want stability, go somewhere else. If you want to build something that will define how business gets done for the next 20 years, this is it.
