MISSION 🚀
Full job description
MISSION 🚀 At Faros, we are building the engineering intelligence platform for the AI era. We help engineering organizations understand the impact of AI on software delivery while providing the operational context that enables AI agents to operate with greater accuracy, relevance, and trust in complex enterprise environments. Our platform is used by some of the most sophisticated engineering teams in the world, ranging from fast-growing technology companies to F500 enterprises. We believe the future of software development will be built by humans and AI working together, and we're building the foundation that makes that possible. ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for software engineers who want to help build the future of engineering operations. You will spend a significant portion of your time writing code, building foundational systems, and solving complex technical challenges at scale. Working closely across product, data, and engineering, you will help design the context graph and operational data platform that power Faros, bringing together signals from across the software development lifecycle. You will also help pioneer a new generation of AI systems and agents that use this rich context to help engineering organizations build software more intelligently and effectively. WHAT WE VALUE
- Living by our values over avoiding conflict. We favor transparency and honest debate because strong decisions depend on saying the hard things out loud.
- Transformation over predictability. We dedicate our efforts to work that produces monumental outcomes for our customers, even if it means trading short-term predictability for long-term impact.
- Intensity over comfort. We move with urgency and focus, especially when the work is messy or unstructured.
- Craftsmanship over throughput. We take pride in how things are built. Quality, coherence, and care matter. We would rather ship fewer things done right than many things done carelessly.
- Ownership over process. We act like founders. If we see something broken, we fix it. We don’t wait for permission, committees, or perfect instructions. Process exists to help us move faster, not to give us an excuse to stand still. BASELINE REQUIREMENTS
- Education: Bachelors or masters degree in Computer Science, or equivalent real-world experience
- Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills
- AI Fluency: Hands-on experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or equivalents), embeddings, vector stores, tool use, prompt design, and evaluation. Not just current tool mastery, but persistence, curiosity, and vision. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Proficiency in TypeScript + Node.js and/or Python
- Experience designing/consuming REST/GraphQL APIs
- Experience with building & productionizing web services, data pipelines, ETL/ELT, orchestration frameworks
- Strong database fundamentals (SQL/NoSQL) WORK DETAILS Our team meets in-person several days a week in San Mateo, CA.
