The posting

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a founding engineering role at an agentic integration platform operating in the flexible work and gig economy space. You will own the agent layer end-to-end, working directly alongside the CTO to build production systems that do real work with real consequences. It is an early, high-ownership position at the frontier of what agentic software can do at scale.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own the full agent layer: context engineering, self-learning systems, evals, the agent harness, and the meta-harness.

- Build a compounding knowledge base of undocumented systems so that each new integration benefits from everything learned before it.

- Design and ship self-healing workflows that detect, diagnose, and recover from production failures autonomously.

- Build and maintain the meta-harness that lets the team create, evaluate, and evolve new agents in days rather than weeks.

- Set the patterns and standards for how every agent at the company gets built, measured, and improved.

- Help grow the team and eventually lead the people who own agentic systems.

- Work as a peer to the founding team and experiment relentlessly.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 2 to 9 years of professional software engineering experience, with hands-on agentic software built within the last year.

- Strong CS fundamentals, ideally from a technical degree program at a well-regarded university.

- Comfortable with TypeScript and working with LLMs, evals, and agent tracing in production.

- Experience building context or self-learning systems that accumulate knowledge to improve agent performance over time.

- Demonstrated track record of shipping autonomous failure detection, diagnosis, or self-healing workflows to production.

- Harness-centric approach to agent building: eval-driven iteration, structured context engineering.

- Background at a startup (including YC or top-tier VC-backed companies) or direct founding experience is a strong signal; candidates who have spent their entire career at large tech companies or enterprises are unlikely to be a fit.

- Reusable agent harness or meta-harness experience is a plus.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Salary range: $150,000 to $300,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship (O-1) is available for qualified candidates with a concrete relocation plan.

LOCATION

On-site, five days a week in San Francisco, CA, United States. Candidates currently based elsewhere in the US are welcome with a concrete, dated relocation plan to San Francisco.

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.
