About the job
Slide AI is building a hosted deck-as-code platform to address the brittleness of AI-generated slides. This role will focus on creating a platform where humans and agents can generate specifications that compile into editable, validated presentations. You will own the product from planning and compilation to editing, validation, and publishing, working closely with AI Fund and users to define scope and build an MVP. The goal is to design a seamless workflow from prompt-assisted drafting to agent-driven deck creation, ensuring all generated decks are editable, inspectable, and trustworthy for presentation.
Responsibilities
- Own the product across planning, compilation, editor state, validation, repair, presentation, and publishing.
- Work with AI Fund and users to define pilot scope, success metrics, and the MVP cut line.
- Design the path from prompt-assisted drafting to agent-driven deck creation.
- Make decisions about latency, layout validation, repair rules, and rendering reliability.
- Work with AI Fund's build team on product wedge, technical risk, and the path from pilot to a broader platform.
Requirements
- Strong backend and full-stack engineering experience.
- Experience in compilation, rendering, document processing, browser editors, or parsers.
- Demonstrated experience building GenAI authoring workflows with tool use, guardrails, evals, and feedback loops.
- Product judgment for human-in-the-loop automation where generated work remains editable, reviewable, and reliable.
- Ability to iterate with early users and translate ambiguous feedback into product decisions.
- Proficiency in using AI coding assistants and modern AI tools.
- US work authorization.
Benefits
- Compensation of $10,000/month for 12 weeks ($30,000 total).
- Potential for a founder-level role with meaningful equity upside if the idea leads to a funded company.
- Contract role during the residency.
