Overview

ABOUT THE ROLE

Full job description

ABOUT THE ROLE This is an early-stage agentic integration platform serving paying enterprise customers, and you will be the first engineering hire. You will own core systems end-to-end and set the technical patterns that every future engineer builds on, working hand-in-hand with the founders from day one. WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Own the agent platform, infrastructure, and integrations runtime end-to-end.
  • Define the engineering patterns and standards that the growing team will build on.
  • Work directly with the founders, contributing technical opinion and leadership, not just code.
  • Ship production-ready, observable, and reliable systems continuously. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
  • 3 to 9 years of professional software engineering experience building and shipping production systems.
  • Demonstrated ability to build something from 0 to 1, whether at an early-stage startup or through a serious side project.
  • Strong background from an early-stage, venture-backed startup environment; a career spent exclusively at large tech companies, enterprise, or consulting does not meet the bar.
  • Proficiency in TypeScript and React for full-stack and frontend development.
  • Proficiency in Node.js for backend development.
  • Experience integrating or building workflows around large language models and agent-based platforms.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS for cloud infrastructure and PostgreSQL for data storage.
  • Experience owning end-to-end feature development across frontend, backend, and infrastructure with measurable customer impact.
  • Experience implementing observability, monitoring, and tracing in production systems.
  • Experience building reliable retry and queuing patterns in distributed systems.
  • A strong CS or engineering foundation, ideally from a rigorous degree program.
  • Genuine enthusiasm for joining as employee number one at a true early-stage company. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary range: $150,000 to $250,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is available where an O-1 visa is a realistic path. LOCATION On-site, five days a week in San Francisco, CA. Candidates currently based in the Bay Area are preferred; US-based candidates with a concrete, dated relocation plan to San Francisco will also be considered.
