Job description

Woodside AI is a venture studio based in Palo Alto, focused on crafting category-defining AI companies in partnership with world-class entrepreneurs and industry market leaders. Founded by industry titans and a top AI researcher from OpenAI, Woodside AI combines a proven track record of venture building and technical innovation. Our team members have shaped companies such as TSMC, Canva, and DRW, as well as backing disruptors like Anduril, Instacart, and Palantir in their early days. Our unique model of venture building has produced industry shapers such as Digital Asset (raised $135M Series E in 2025), Novaprime (now partnering with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac), ErisX (acquired by CBOE in 2022), and Hashnote (acquired by Circle in 2025). We are fully self-funded and focused on tackling complex industry challenges unlikely to be solved by traditional startups. Our unique approach gives founders and early teams immediate market access, domain expertise, and ample funding to take bold swings with real impact, while saving precious time and energy by staying laser-focused on delivering valuable solutions. ### **The Opportunity** As a Fullstack Engineer at Woodside, you’ll help build and launch new products across our portfolio.
