Overview
ABOUT THE ROLE
Full job description
ABOUT THE ROLE This is the first engineering hire at an early-stage agentic integration platform serving paying enterprise customers. You will own core systems end-to-end and set the technical foundation that every future engineer builds on, working directly alongside the founders. WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own the agent platform, infrastructure, and integrations runtime from design through production.
- Establish engineering patterns and standards that scale with the growing team.
- Collaborate closely with the founders, contributing technical opinion and leadership, not just code.
- Ship reliable, observable production systems continuously with measurable customer impact. 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 zero to one, whether at an early-stage startup or through a serious side project.
- Proficiency in TypeScript for full-stack development, React for frontend, and Node.js for backend.
- Experience integrating or building workflows around large language models (LLMs) and agent-based platforms.
- Hands-on experience with AWS for cloud infrastructure and PostgreSQL for data storage and database design.
- Experience owning end-to-end feature development across frontend, backend, and infrastructure.
- Experience implementing observability, monitoring, tracing, and reliable retry and queuing patterns in distributed systems.
- A strong computer science or engineering academic background (Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD).
- Background at an early-stage, venture-backed startup; a career spent exclusively at large enterprises or big tech is not a fit for this role.
- Genuine enthusiasm for joining as employee number one and shaping a company from the ground up. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary range: $150,000 to $250,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is available where an O-1 visa is a realistic option. LOCATION On-site, five days a week in San Francisco, California. Candidates currently based elsewhere in the US are welcome to apply with a concrete, dated relocation plan to San Francisco.
