About the Role

Join an early engineering team building AI infrastructure for service businesses. As the first engineering hire, you will work directly with the founder to evolve a functioning product into reliable, scalable infrastructure for AI agents and the people who use them.

What You'll Do

  • Design and build the architecture, data models, and runtime needed to scale the product.

  • Develop agent orchestration, memory, verification, and other systems that make AI workflows dependable.

  • Own projects across backend, infrastructure, frontend, and agent development.

  • Set technical direction and establish engineering practices as the team grows.

  • Ship improvements regularly to customers using the product in real businesses.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 2 years of experience shipping production software, or an equivalent track record as a founder, solo builder, or exceptional early-career engineer.

  • Experience building and operating LLM or AI agent systems used by real customers.

  • Full-stack range, including the ability to work across backend services, infrastructure, and user interfaces.

  • Experience scaling a working product and making technical decisions with a high degree of ownership.

  • Familiarity with agent orchestration, memory, evaluations, verification, or multi-agent workflows is valuable.

  • A track record of shipping quickly and explaining the technical challenges behind systems you have built.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary is $150,000 to $250,000 annually, plus meaningful founding equity. Visa sponsorship is available, including support for relocation.

Location

On-site in San Francisco, California. The founding team works together in person.
