Kiloforge
Founding Engineer | Early-Stage
hn · Onsite
Jose is an exceptional match as a founding engineer with 12 years of shipping complex systems, deep experience building 0→1 AI products (Addie, Rubercubic), and proven ability to own full-stack architecture, infrastructure, and product decisions simultaneously. His track record of building real products used by thousands across multiple domains (AI voice, crypto, emergency response, ecommerce) directly aligns with Kiloforge's need for a scrappy generalist with founder's mindset who can rapidly ideate, validate, and ship. His recent founding engineer role at Addie demonstrates he thrives in early-stage chaos and can execute across web, mobile, voice, and infrastructure—exactly the generalist skillset needed for an autonomous product factory.
Hook: As the founding engineer behind a real-time AI voice platform serving 10+ countries and former generative AI engineer at multiple 0→1 startups, Jose has exactly the full-stack, product-minded builder experience to help Kiloforge autonomously ship high-quality software at scale.
Missing: proven success founding/scaling a company to $25M+ ARR, experience with product distribution/go-to-market at scale
