-- He's fine with discussing this via e-mail, though it sounds like he really wants to talk on the phone, because it's easier.
-- He says that any verbal agreement or disagreement we might have over the phone would not be received as substitute for a written agreement
-- He says that there must be a signed written agreement

That's probably not why he wants to talk on the phone.

At will employment is irrelevant, but it seems like they're trying to structure you as an independent contractor, except for the line about "as a company employee." Ask for more details, if there's a commission, is there also a base salary? How much are you getting paid per project, and how long is each project?

It seems sketchy, but if those numbers are reasonable/competitive to you, I don't see a reason to turn down the job. The fact that it's a startup, however, makes me think that you won't be getting paid much at all.
