About Echelon

Echelon is the AI operating system for corporate transformation — your agentic command center for running a leaner, faster, and more aligned business.
We integrate directly with enterprise systems (HRIS, ERP, CRM, CLM, Email, etc.) to create a live map of people, contracts, and goals — then our AI engine recommends what to do next: where to rightsize, where to invest, and where AI can replace or augment workflows.
Backed by [REDACTED Tier-1] and [REDACTED Tier-1]. Part of OpenAI’s Grove pilot. Live pilots with PE, government, and enterprise customers.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and scale the core Echelon platform — APIs, microservices, and orchestration systems.
  • Design and deploy across our AWS stack (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Terraform).
  • Integrate with complex enterprise systems (Workday, NetSuite, Salesforce, Jira, etc.).
  • Collaborate directly with customers to map systems and deliver end-to-end solutions.
  • Shape product direction and company culture as a true founding team member.

Tech Stack

Python / FastAPI • React / TypeScript • AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront) • Terraform • Docker • Postgres

Who You Are

  • High-agency builder who moves fast and takes full ownership.
  • Experienced with 0→1 environments and comfortable wearing multiple hats.
  • Confident in high-intensity, customer-facing settings.
  • Pragmatic about tradeoffs, opinionated about great systems.
  • Obsessed with shipping polished, production-grade work quickly.

Ideal Background

  • 3–8 years of full-stack or backend experience at a fast-paced startup or top-tier company.
  • Strong backend fundamentals (Typescript, REST APIs, SQL) and cloud infrastructure experience (Azure, AWS, Docker, Terraform).
  • Experience integrating enterprise systems or working with OAuth/SSO.
  • Bonus: experience with Agentic workflows, Agent Frameworks (AI SDK, Agents SDK, etc.), RAG pipelines, or ML orchestration.

Why Echelon

We’re early, funded, and shipping fast — already live with paying pilots and inbound demand. You’ll work directly with the founders (ex-Meta, Citadel) and help define the product, architecture, and DNA of the company.
This is a founding-tier role with high ownership, high intensity, and meaningful equity.
