The posting

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a founding engineer opportunity at an early-stage AI infrastructure startup building an agentic integration platform. You will own core systems end-to-end alongside the founders, shaping the engineering foundation that every future hire builds on. The work is high-stakes and high-autonomy: real agents doing real work with real consequences in production.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own the agent platform, infrastructure, and integrations runtime end-to-end.

- Set the engineering patterns and architectural decisions that define the entire codebase going forward.

- Ship to production constantly, working directly with the founding team.

- Help shape the system holistically across agent orchestration, durable execution, and self-healing infrastructure in your first year.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 2 to 9 years of professional software engineering experience, excluding staff, principal, lead, or manager titles at large companies.

- Strong CS fundamentals from a rigorous technical degree program (Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD, completed or in progress).

- Experience founding a startup or engineering at an early-stage (pre-seed through Series A) venture-backed company; candidates whose entire career has been at large tech, enterprise, consulting, or agency environments are not a fit.

- Proven track record of shipping and owning real production systems end-to-end, multiple times.

- Comfortable working across the full stack with TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, and AWS.

- Familiarity with the Effect-TS or Bun ecosystem is a plus.

- At ease using AI coding agents while exercising strong judgment over production quality.

- Based in the San Francisco Bay Area or US-based with a concrete, dated plan to relocate to San Francisco for five-days-a-week on-site work.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

- Salary: $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, United States.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
