Full Job Description
About the Role

This is a foundational engineering role at an early-stage B2B SaaS company building AI-powered integration infrastructure for supply chain connectivity. You will own core systems end-to-end, make architectural decisions that shape the product, and establish the engineering patterns the team will build on for years to come.
What You'll Do
  • Design and build purpose-specific AI coding agents from scratch to automate supply chain integrations.
  • Develop and maintain core infrastructure for hosting and running integrations, effectively a self-contained integrations runtime platform.
  • Own systems end-to-end, from the agent platform to the integrations runtime, with full architectural authority.
  • Establish engineering patterns and practices that will define the team's future direction.
  • Work across both the agentic AI side and the complex, heavy infrastructure side of the product.
What We're Looking For
  • 2 to 5 years of software engineering experience, with a total range up to 8 years considered.
  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript and modern full-stack product development.
  • Hands-on experience building with AI agents and LLMs using current, production-grade patterns.
  • Track record of shipping and owning complex software products end-to-end at a fast-moving startup.
  • Experience at a VC-backed startup, ideally from seed through Series A or B.
  • Demonstrated technical depth through shipped software systems, not just side work.
  • Strong CS or engineering fundamentals, whether from a degree or equivalent work experience.
  • Founding or early-stage engineering experience building 0 to 1 at a high-caliber startup is a strong plus.
  • High-agency side projects, especially agentic tools or launched products, are a meaningful signal.
Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: $150,000 to $300,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
Location

Fully remote within the United States, with San Francisco, CA as the primary anchor location.
