About the role

Founding Engineer @ Superunit

As a founding engineer at Superunit, you'll work closely with the founders on the company's highest-priority problems across the stack.

About Superunit

Superunit builds AI tools for Consumer Reporting Agencies, Lenders, tenants screeners and more. We tripled our revenue in the last 3 months to a 7 figure annual run rate. We’re growing the team to reach Series A milestones in the next year.

What you'll build

- AI Agents. Our agents crawl the web, talk on the phone, send faxes and emails, and perform verifications the way a human would.

- APIs and Dashboards for our growing product offering. We recently launched in the tenant screening space and have many new customers clamoring for new features.

- Internal tooling for our operations team to pick up where the AI leaves off. Sometimes our agents flag a human for help. You’ll decide when they do and help them do it less.

- Database pipelines that handle thousands of verifications per day across a dozen sources.

Who you’ll build it with

Peter previously founded a golf equipment company and grew it to 8 figure in revenue. Zach built systems at Stripe that processed a billion dollars in transactions daily.

What we're looking for

- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience

- A quick learner ready to scale existing systems and build new ones with autonomy

- Comfort building AI tools and using AI to code

- Strong working knowledge of computer science fundamentals

- Strong communication skills

The role

We're in the office 5 days a week — this is not a hybrid role, though we're flexible when conflicts come up. You'll be part of a small team and help shape a warm, rigorous, and fun company culture.

About Superunit

Superunit is building the AI verification layer for hiring, lending, and leasing. We use AI voice and email agents to automate employment, income, reference, and tenancy verifications — work that's historically been done by call centers, paper trails, and a lot of hold music.

Our customers are background screening companies (CRAs), mortgage lenders, and tenant screening firms. We're already powering verifications for some of the largest CRAs in the industry. The team is small, hands-on, and biased toward shipping. If you want to work on a real problem with real customers, real revenue, and real urgency this is a good place to be.

We're based in Los Angeles and work in-office.
