About the Role
This is a founding-level engineering role at an agentic integration platform serving the real economy. The company's agents perform real work with real consequences inside production systems — think shift-based staffing, logistics, and flexible labor markets. You will own the agent layer end-to-end, working directly with the CTO as a peer from day one. This is a rare opportunity to build production-scale agentic systems at a moment when very few teams have shipped them.
What You'll Build
-
A context and self-learning system: A compounding knowledge base of undocumented integrations, so that connecting the 1,000th company is dramatically better than connecting the first.
-
Self-healing workflows: Agents that autonomously detect, diagnose, and recover from production failures without human intervention.
-
A meta-harness: The runtime harness that agents execute on, plus the tooling layer that enables the team to build, evaluate, and ship new agents in days.
What You'll Do
-
Own the full agent layer: context engineering, self-learning, evals, harness architecture, and meta-harness design.
-
Set the patterns and standards for how every agent at the company is built, measured, and continuously improved.
-
Experiment relentlessly alongside founders and help shape the technical direction of the product.
-
Contribute to hiring and eventually grow into leading the team responsible for agentic systems.
What We're Looking For
Required:
-
Hands-on experience building agentic software within the last year — this field moves fast and recency matters.
-
Deep familiarity with harness-centric agent development: context engineering and eval-driven iteration.
-
Strong understanding of agent tracing and evaluation frameworks.
-
An implementation-first mindset — you ship working systems in production, not research prototypes.
-
Comfort with the tech stack: TypeScript, Effect-TS, PostgreSQL, and LLMs / agent frameworks.
Nice to Have:
-
Prior experience at a high-caliber engineering organization (e.g., large tech, top-tier consulting, or developer tooling).
-
Background working on integration platforms, workflow automation, or marketplace infrastructure.
Compensation & Benefits
-
Salary: $150,000 – $300,000 USD annually, depending on experience.
-
Founding engineer equity participation.
-
Visa sponsorship is available.
