🚀 We're Hiring: AI Developer — Gadriel AI Corp. (San Diego)
Gadriel AI Corp. is building the pre-production validation layer for the AI era. As AI writes more and more of the world's code — and AI agents take on more autonomous work — someone has to validate it before it ships. That's us. We're an early-stage startup (NVIDIA Inception member) building tools that catch security, compliance, and behavioral issues in AI-generated code and AI agent systems before they reach production.
We're looking for a versatile AI Developer to join our core team and help build the next generation of our platform.
About the role: This is a hands-on, high-ownership engineering role at an early-stage startup. You'll be working directly with the founders, shaping architecture decisions, and shipping features fast. You won't be one engineer among fifty — your work will directly define the product.
What you'll do:
- Design, build, and ship features across our AI validation products end-to-end
- Work daily inside modern AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and similar) as your primary development environment
- Use our own product, GCA, as part of your development workflow — dogfooding is core to how we build
- Build integrations with AI coding assistants, CLIs, and developer tooling
- Contribute to backend services, CLI tooling, and validation logic
- Work with structured data, static analysis concepts, and developer-facing reporting (HTML/PDF reports, findings pipelines)
- Participate in architecture and product discussions — your input shapes the roadmap
- Help maintain code quality, testing, and CI practices as the team and product scale
- Move fast, iterate based on real user feedback, and adapt as priorities shift
What we're looking for:
- Strong engineering fundamentals — comfortable across the stack (TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, or similar languages)
- Real, hands-on experience building with AI coding assistants — not just occasional use, but genuine daily-driver familiarity
- Experience with CLI tools, developer tooling, or dev-facing products is a strong plus
- Familiarity with security concepts (SAST, SCA, secrets scanning) or a strong interest in learning them
- Comfortable with Node.js/npm ecosystem tooling
- Startup mindset: high autonomy, comfortable with ambiguity, bias toward shipping
- Strong communication skills — you'll be working closely with a small, distributed team
- Bonus: experience with AI agent frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, MCP, A2A) or interest in agentic systems
- Bonus: prior startup or 0-to-1 product experience
A note on how we work: We build the tools we sell, and we use them ourselves. You should be comfortable working with our product, Gadriel AI Code Assurance (GCA), as part of your daily workflow — it runs locally alongside your AI coding assistant and validates code as it's written. It's free for individual developers, so you can try it before you apply:
npm install -g gadriel
What we offer:
- Meaningful equity in an early-stage, founder-led startup
- Direct access to founders and real influence over product direction
- A fast-paced environment where your work ships quickly and matters
- Flexibility on how and where you work (San Diego-based team, open to remote for the right person)
- The chance to build in one of the most active areas in AI right now — validating the systems everyone else is racing to ship
