About the RoleWe're a seed-stage startup building an
agentic integration platform used by paying enterprise customers. As our
first engineering hire, you'll own core systems end-to-end and set the engineering patterns that every future hire builds on. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founders - we want your opinion, not just your code - and ship production-ready systems from day one.
This is a rare opportunity to shape the technical foundation of a company at its earliest stage, in one of the most exciting areas of software: AI agents and workflow automation.
What You'll Do- Own the agent platform, infrastructure, and integrations runtime end-to-end.
- Define and establish the engineering patterns, standards, and architecture that every future engineer builds on.
- Collaborate directly with the founders, contributing strong technical opinions and leadership.
- Ship to production constantly, delivering reliable, observable, and scalable systems.
What We're Looking ForMust-haves:- 3+ years of software engineering experience in fast-paced environments; startup experience strongly preferred.
- Proficiency in TypeScript and React for frontend, and Node.js for backend development.
- Demonstrated ability to build something 0 to 1 - whether at an early-stage startup or through a serious side project.
- Experience integrating or building workflows around large language models (LLMs) and agent-based platforms.
- Experience owning end-to-end feature development across frontend, backend, and infrastructure with measurable customer impact.
- Solid understanding of observability, monitoring, tracing, and reliable retry/queuing patterns in distributed systems.
- Hands-on experience with AWS for cloud infrastructure and PostgreSQL for data storage.
Nice to have:- Familiarity with Bun, Effect-TS, or Kubernetes.
- Background at a high-growth product company or enterprise SaaS environment.
Compensation & Benefits- Salary: $150,000 - $250,000 USD annually, depending on experience.
- Equity participation as the first engineering hire.
- Visa sponsorship available.
LocationThis role is
on-site in San Francisco, CA. We work together in person - it's important to us at this stage of the company.
