ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a founding engineering position at an early-stage agentic integration platform serving the real economy. You'll own core systems end-to-end — agent platform, infrastructure, and integrations runtime — working directly alongside the founders to shape the entire product from the ground up.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Own and evolve core systems end-to-end: agent orchestration platform, cloud infrastructure, and the integrations runtime.
  • Set the engineering patterns and architectural foundations that every future hire builds on.
  • Ship to production constantly, iterating rapidly alongside the founding team.
  • Help shape the overall system architecture and technical direction in your first year.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • 2–9 years of hands-on software engineering experience, ideally at a high-growth or technically rigorous environment.
  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript; comfort across the stack including frontend (React) and backend services.
  • Experience with infrastructure and cloud platforms (AWS, Kubernetes) and production-grade systems.
  • Familiarity with durable execution patterns, agent orchestration, or integration platforms is a strong plus.
  • Comfortable working with PostgreSQL and modern runtimes (e.g. Bun, Effect-TS).
  • Self-directed and ownership-oriented — someone who thrives in an early-stage, high-autonomy environment.
  • Strong CS fundamentals and a track record of building and shipping reliable systems.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

  • Salary: $150,000 – $250,000 USD annually
  • Visa sponsorship: Available
