About the Role

Join an early-stage engineering team building an AI-powered integration platform for businesses. You will own core systems across the agent platform, infrastructure, and integrations runtime, helping establish the foundations for the product as it grows.

What You'll Do

What We're Looking For

• A completed or in-progress bachelor's, master's, or PhD degree in engineering, computer science, or a quantitative field from a strong technical university.

• Experience repeatedly shipping and owning production systems end to end, with demonstrated ability across agent platforms, infrastructure, and integration runtimes.

• Comfort using multiple AI coding agents while applying sound judgment to production quality.

• Experience founding a startup with outside funding or full-time employees, or engineering at an early-stage startup backed by a recognized accelerator or venture capital firm.

• Familiarity with TypeScript, React, Bun, Effect-TS, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, or AWS is relevant to the stack.
