Founding Engineer (AIML) (fmx)

Were looking for a Founding Engineer to help us build Otherworldly into the default way artists get booked.

Who we are

We believe live music is one of the best things humans do and that far more artists deserve to make a living from it than currently can. Thats the opportunity were building for.

The industry still runs on cold emails and who-knows-who and its about to be rebuilt. AI now lets small teams achieve incredible things and we intend to be the team that rebuilds this one.

Otherworldly is an AI-native talent management and booking company. We run an actual roster meaning real tours real riders real settlements and were turning everything weve learned into agentic infrastructure. That means a database of 250000 bookers worldwide and algorithmic pitching systems that get the right artist in front of the right promoter at scale.

Its working. We closed our seed round with roster and revenue traction already built. Between us weve managed No.1 artists and Grammy nominees led strategy for household-name brands and founded YC-backed companies.

Tasks

Youll be the engineering foundation of the platform. Your agents will hold real conversations with real bookers negotiate real opportunities and directly determine whether working artists get paid. Specifically:

• Architect and scale the agentic pitching system: multi-agent orchestration that researches bookers drafts pitches handles replies and manages follow-up across thousands of parallel conversations
• Own the full LLM stack end-to-end (prompt architecture retrieval evaluation deployment) with the autonomy of a founding hire and the accountability that comes with it
• Work directly with the founder to turn agency operations into product: every workflow we run manually today is a system youll build tomorrow
• Ship fast. Wed rather see a good decision made quickly than a perfect one made late

Requirements

Youll thrive here if

** Youve shipped LLM systems that real people depend on.
**Not demos not prototypes but enterprise-scale systems handling real conversations with real consequences.

**You think about the customer the product and the technology simultaneously.
**Were building at the bleeding edge of AI but were not academics. Impact is what matters.

** You hold yourself to a high bar.
**Youve shown ambition and excellence somewhere in your life - professionally academically or otherwise - and you want your work to matter.

You love music or want to work for people who do.
Everything we build exists to get artists booked paid and heard.
