About the Role
We're a seed-stage startup building an agentic integration platform used by paying enterprise customers. We're looking for our first engineering hire — someone who will own core systems end-to-end, set the engineering patterns that every future hire builds on, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founders to ship production-ready software every day.
This is a high-ownership, high-impact role for an engineer who thrives in ambiguity, loves building from zero to one, and wants their technical fingerprints on the entire stack.
What You'll Do
-
Own core systems end-to-end: agent platform, infrastructure, and the integrations runtime.
-
Define and establish the engineering patterns and standards that every future hire will build upon.
-
Work directly with the founders — your opinions and technical leadership matter as much as your code.
-
Ship to production constantly, delivering reliable, observable, and well-instrumented systems.
What We're Looking For
Must-haves (dealbreakers):
-
3+ years of software engineering experience building and shipping production systems.
-
Proven ability to build something 0 to 1 — in an early-stage startup or through serious side projects.
-
Proficiency in TypeScript and React for frontend development.
-
Proficiency in Node.js for backend development.
-
Hands-on experience integrating or building workflows around large language models (LLMs) and agent-based platforms.
Required skills:
-
Experience with AWS for cloud infrastructure.
-
Experience with PostgreSQL for data storage and database design.
-
Experience owning end-to-end feature development across frontend, backend, and infrastructure with measurable customer impact.
-
Experience implementing observability, monitoring, and distributed tracing in production systems.
-
Experience building reliable retry and queuing patterns in distributed systems.
Nice to have:
-
Experience working in fast-paced startup environments.
-
Experience setting engineering patterns and standards for growing teams.
Compensation & Benefits
-
Salary: $150,000 – $250,000 USD annually, depending on experience.
-
Visa sponsorship is available.
Location
-
On-site in San Francisco, CA.
-
This is not a remote role.
