About the RoleThis is an early-stage agentic integration platform serving paying enterprise customers, and you will be the first engineering hire. You will own core systems end-to-end and set the technical patterns that every future engineer builds on, working hand-in-hand with the founders from day one.
What You'll Do- Own the agent platform, infrastructure, and integrations runtime end-to-end.
- Define the engineering patterns and standards that the growing team will build on.
- Work directly with the founders, contributing technical opinion and leadership, not just code.
- Ship production-ready, observable, and reliable systems continuously.
What We're Looking For- 3 to 9 years of professional software engineering experience building and shipping production systems.
- Demonstrated ability to build something from 0 to 1, whether at an early-stage startup or through a serious side project.
- Strong background from an early-stage, venture-backed startup environment; a career spent exclusively at large tech companies, enterprise, or consulting does not meet the bar.
- Proficiency in TypeScript and React for full-stack and frontend development.
- Proficiency in Node.js for backend development.
- Experience integrating or building workflows around large language models and agent-based platforms.
- Hands-on experience with AWS for cloud infrastructure and PostgreSQL for data storage.
- Experience owning end-to-end feature development across frontend, backend, and infrastructure with measurable customer impact.
- Experience implementing observability, monitoring, and tracing in production systems.
- Experience building reliable retry and queuing patterns in distributed systems.
- A strong CS or engineering foundation, ideally from a rigorous degree program.
- Genuine enthusiasm for joining as employee number one at a true early-stage company.
