About the Role
We're building an agentic operating system for the Enterprise and have achieved product-market fit with thousands of agents deployed across scale-up startups and enterprise companies. We're looking for someone who operates at CTO-level-someone who can take a vague problem, scope it, build it end-to-end, and ship something that provides real value.
This is a backend-heavy, AI-native role where you'll need to go full stack when required. No hand-holding. No waiting for specs. You need to be a full-stack engineer, an AI engineer, and a product engineer in one person.
What You'll Do
- Own large parts of the product end-to-end, from user insight to production
- Build and improve agentic systems to make them more accurate, reliable, and powerful
- Work at the frontier of AI engineering-context engineering, tool use, agent architectures
- Talk to users, understand their pain points, and scope features that solve real problems
- Push AI-first development practices and scale yourself through automation
- Review code quickly while maintaining high standards across the codebase
- A 100x engineer: razor sharp, able to solve difficult problems fast
- Deep product sense-you build for users, not for code's sake
- Strong Go backend experience with clean, maintainable code practices
- Experience building AI products, ideally agentic systems or AI coding tools
- Fascination with new coding paradigms (Claude Code, Cursor, coding agents)
- Ability to scale yourself to an extreme degree through automation
- Great code taste and ability to review PRs at speed without sacrificing quality
- Versatility: backend-heavy but not allergic to frontend (Vite/Typescript)
- Thrive in ambiguity-you don't need a PM to tell you what to build
- Track record of building something from scratch (startup, side project, shipped feature)
- Plus factors: AI research background, experience at an AI coding startup, former founder experience
- Generous equity and compensation reflecting the outsized impact of this role
- Unlimited AI budget-we practice what we preach
- Work alongside a brilliant design engineer and a CTO cofounder who will push your growth
- A founding seat at the table where you'll shape the product and company direction
