Founding Full-Stack Engineer

Opaxa | Founding Full-Stack Engineer | San Francisco | Full-time | $200K–$300K + founding equity | opaxa.ai Opaxa is the AI agent platform that runs restaurant back-office operations. Not another dashboard — agents that take the work off the operator's plate and act: build the schedule and push it to action, place the order with distributors, audit the invoice for overcharges, draft the review reply. The operator approves what matters; the rest gets done. The unfair part: the founder owns and runs a 40-location restaurant company with over 750 employee's — so Opaxa's first customer is a real, operating restaurant group with real data and real stakes from day one. Deep domain expertise is built in, and your work runs in real restaurants immediately, not after a six-month hunt for a design partner. Well-funded. A working prototype is already built. Now I'm hiring a founding full-stack engineer to take it from prototype to production: own the architecture, the agent runtime, the backend, and the integrations the agents act through (Toast, Paycom, Sysco, and more), set the technical bar, and grow the team behind you. You'd work directly with me — I own product, customers, and the domain; you own the AI and the build. We'd be hiring additional engineers and account managers within the first year. You're a fit if you: - have shipped agentic systems to production — plan-and-act, not chatbots or wrappers - are a strong full-stack builder (Python and/or Node, Postgres, real infra) - use the latest AI tooling (Claude Code / Cursor) as your default want to own a whole product as the first engineer, and eventually lead Stack: React/TypeScript, Python/Node, Postgres, the Anthropic API, integrations across the restaurant stack. To apply: email me at colton@opaxa.ai with the most impressive agentic system you've personally shipped — what it did, what you owned, and what made it hard — plus your resume or links. I read every one and reply. Please write it yourself; if it's clearly AI-generated, I'll pass.
