Founding Engineer

Role details

ABOUT THE ROLE This is a first engineering hire opportunity at an early-stage agentic integration platform serving paying enterprise customers. You'll own core systems end-to-end and set the engineering patterns that every future hire will build on — working shoulder-to-shoulder with the founders to ship reliable, production-ready software. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own the agent platform, infrastructure, and integrations runtime end-to-end. - Establish engineering patterns and standards that will guide the team as it scales. - Collaborate directly with founders, contributing technical opinion and leadership — not just code. - Ship to production continuously, delivering observable and reliable systems with measurable customer impact. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 3+ years of software engineering experience building and shipping production systems, ideally in fast-paced startup environments. - Demonstrated ability to take a product from 0 to 1, whether in an early-stage startup or a substantial side project. - Proficiency in TypeScript and React for front-end development. - Proficiency in Node.js for back-end development. - Experience integrating or building workflows around large language models (LLMs) and agent-based platforms. - 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/queuing patterns in distributed systems. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary range: $150,000 – $250,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is available. LOCATION On-site in San Francisco, California, United States.
