About Chief AI

We’re building AI to power the world’s leaders — from Senators to CEOs.

Chief AI is the command center for leaders, where executive offices in government and business manage time, relationships, and strategy in one place. Think how Linear reshaped product teams and Salesforce reshaped sales teams. We’re transforming how leaders and their teams operate.

Founded by Shannon Beckham (White House, Congress, Together AI), Chief AI is the solution she wishes she had while supporting high-powered decision-makers. We’ve launched at SXSW, been featured in Axios, and deployed with customers, such as the Mayor of Denver. Now we're building fast alongside executive teams across government and enterprise.

We are backed by top VCs and strategic angels. We’re a StartX accelerator company and work in-person at StartupHQ in San Francisco.

Introducing Chief AI

Why Join Us

• Build AI for decision-makers: you’ll be able to point to real leaders – mayors, congressmen, CEOs – and know your work helped power offices that impact millions
• Own the intelligence layer from day one: not just prompts, but the systems that turn messy executive context into reasoning, briefings, and decisions
• True founding ownership: ship end-to-end, work directly with customers, and help define the technical DNA of the company

The Role

We’re hiring a Founding Engineer to build the AI-native operating system for modern leadership. You’ll work directly with the CEO and founding team to ship features, design core systems, and solve real-world problems for high-stakes teams.

You’ll touch everything – backend, frontend, AI, infrastructure, and security – shaping product direction and engineering culture from day one. If you thrive in ambiguity and love shipping fast, this role is for you.
