The Challenge

We are building the runtime and registry for AI/LLM tools. You will define both how AI interacts with the world, and how humans build and manage those tools. This includes creating production-grade integrations, and the services & toolkits that run them... and the solving the unique problems of AI/LLM usage along the way. We are playing on hard-mode: building governance, PaaS, and infrastructure for both on-prem and SaaS deployments at the same time.

This role is primarily focused on our back-end services, but as an early member of a startup, you'll be working up-and-down the stack. We build our software with Go, Python, and Typescript, and expect you to be a pro in at least one of those. We are looking for people who constantly ship and don't get stuck - we are looking for folks who are always learning and and able to apply that knowledge to their work and teach it to the team.

What You'll Do

• Build the infrastructure to manage the backplane for all future AI tools
• Design, build, test, and deploy high-performance, secure, production-grade software.
• Develop SDKs and frameworks that make it easy for other developers to build custom tools
• Help set industry standards for tool calling and authorization (for example, we helped write the MCP authorization spec)
• Create integrations with major platforms and LLMs (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, OpenAi, Anthropic, etc.)
• Shape the roadmap for the team
• Build leverage (via AI) - projects that take a week today should take a day next time.
• Share your work with our customers and community, building our (and your) brand.

Required Skills

• An insatiable desire to ship.
• 7+ years of software engineering experience comprising of:
  
  • 5+ years of backend development experience with either Python, Go, Ruby, Typescript, or a similar language and API & Web frameworks.
  • 2+ years of experience with infrastructure and deployment (AWS/GCP, Terraform, Helm, etc)
• Strong experience building and maintaining production APIs.
• Track record of writing clean, well-documented, well-tested code.
• User-centered approach to designing developer-centric products and tools.

Bonus Points

• Experience building developer tools or SDKs
• Familiarity with LLMs and AI frameworks (Langchain, LlamaIndex, etc)
• Open-source contributions
• Experience with high-scale distributed systems
• Experience leading teams and mentoring more junior developers
• Familiarity with Typescript and a relevant frontend framework (e.g. React)
• You've been a startup founder or early-state startup employee before and love it

Join The Movement

We're not just building a product - we're leading a movement to transform AI from just chatbots to agents that can take actions against real systems. This is your chance to be at the forefront of that revolution.
