Founding Fullstack Engineer Verso (backed by Hexa)
Job Summary
Verso is building the Consumer Intelligence OS.
We replace traditional qualitative research agencies with an AI-native platform that conducts analyzes and compounds consumer conversations at scale. Instead of one-off studies companies get a continuous structured understanding of their customers.
Our ambition is to make consumer insight a real-time always-on system embedded in every product and marketing decision.
Were starting with AI-moderated interviews but this is just the entry point. The long-term product is a system of record for consumer understanding powered by agentic workflows.
Backed by Hexa (eFounders) behind Aircall Front Spendesk Yousign and 50 others.
Verso is founded by an experienced team with a strong track record in strategy technology and company building.
Lydia - CEO: HEC graduate 7 years at BCG (Principal) expert in strategy innovation and consumer goods
Camille - CTO: Dual degree X/HEC former lead at CO2 AI expert in AI and scalable product development
The role
You will join Verso as a Founding Engineer to own systems end-to-end from infrastructure to product with no strict boundaries and help define engineering standards observability and the foundations of the team.
You will design and scale a coherent AI system end-to-end at the intersection of agents data and product:
- An AI interviewer interacting with users at scale (voice & video) sustaining long-form conversations with high reliability
- Agent systems (state memory evaluation loops) orchestrating complex interactions
- Real-time and async pipelines transforming multimodal data (video audio text) into structured actionable insights
- A client platform to explore these insights through an AI-native interface
- Data systems to structure query and reuse qualitative knowledge at scale
- Optimization of latency cost and performance across LLM TTS STT
- Reliability of long-running AI workflows in production
What makes this role unique
- You will build production-grade AI systems not prototypes
- You will work on long-form high-stakes interactions not short prompts
- You will design systems where AI quality is as critical as system reliability
- You will operate at the intersection of AI data infrastructure and product
Current stack
- Frontend: TypeScript React Tailwind shadcn
- Backend: Python FastAPI SQLAlchemy
- Infra: Vercel Railway Supabase AWS
- AI: LLM orchestration STT/TTS pipelines eval systems (rapidly evolving)
Note: no need to necessarily master Python and Typescript your coding agents do
What were looking for
- You want to build production-grade AI systems on messy real-world data not demos
- Youre comfortable owning systems end-to-end from architecture to production
- You have experience with complex systems (real-time data pipelines or LLM-based products)
- You have strong intuition for trade-offs (latency cost quality reliability)
- Youre motivated by building an ambitious category-defining company with long-term ownership - not just execution.
Why join
- Category-defining shift: were not improving research workflows were turning consumer understanding into a continuous system
- Hard technical problems: production AI systems over rich unstructured data (audio video text structured) spanning both a B2C product (low latency high scale responsiveness) and a B2B platform (enterprise-grade reliability security and data integrity).
- Full ownership: youll own architecture product and execution from day one with direct impact on the company trajectory.
- Meaningful equity: early-stage package with strong upside aligned with long-term value creation (next fundraise in the coming months).
- Hexa environment: operate within a top-tier startup studio with access to talent resources and a strong builder ecosystem.
