Everyone's talking about AI. But here's the truth:
ChatGPT can't send your emails. It can't book your flights. It can't even order you lunch.
Why? Because AI is trapped in a chat box. It can't take real actions in the real world.
We are changing that forever. We're not just building another AI company - we're creating the infrastructure that will power every AI application you'll use in the future.
The Revolution Needs YouEvery AI app needs agentic "tools" - special functions that let AI models take real actions. Without tools, AI can only chat. With tools, AI can actually do things. We're building the definitive tools catalog and tool-calling platform that will unlock AI's true potential. Think Zapier for AI actions. Think Auth0 for AI. Think really big.
Why This Is The Opportunity of a LifetimeLeadership-Market Fit :
Our CEO previously founded Stormpath (acquired by Okta), our CTO led the vector database team at Redis and is a contributor to Lang Chain and Llama Index, and our CRO, Ben Sabrin, was the founding VP of Sales at MongoDB (scaled 0–$60M) and an early leader at JBoss and Okta.Dream Team :
We've assembled authentication, integrations, distributed systems, and AI experts from Okta, Redis, Microsoft, Splunk, Ngrok, Google, Airbyte, and HPE who've built and scaled multiple successful developer platforms.Perfect Timing :
We're at the inflection point of AI adoption. The biggest problem isn't better models - it's connecting AI to real-world actions. That's us.Massive Market :
We're building critical infrastructure for the biggest technological shift of our generation. Every AI app will need what we're building.Backed By The Best:
Our investors have backed Databricks, Clickhouse, MongoDB, Perplexity, Cohere, ScaleAI, Confluent, Elastic, and Firebase. They see what we see - this is going to be huge.
We need Forward Deployed Engineers who are deeply technical, incredibly articulate, and possess an insatiable curiosity for what’s possible. You aren't just giving demos; you are a systems thinker who can walk into a Fortune 500 customer and understand their entire technology landscape - identity, data, application, and governance layers - to design architectures that survive a rigorous security review. You’ll need to stay three steps ahead of the rapidly evolving Agentic AI ecosystem, mastering LLM orchestration, autonomous agent frameworks, and the complex world of tool-calling and action-oriented infrastructure.
You won't just be a vendor; you’ll be a trusted consultant helping customers architect the transition from passive chat to active, automated intelligence.
Act as the Technical Authority
:
Partner with AEs to lead technical discovery and evaluations with Head of AI, CTO, and Architect personas.Build the "Art of the Possible":
Design and build custom prototypes, PoCs, and reference architectures that show exactly how our infrastructure enables real-world AI actions.Simplify the Complex
:
Take abstract infrastructure, middleware, and API concepts and turn them into clear, value-driven solutions for customers.Field-to-Product Loop
:
Act as the eyes and ears of the market, funneling deep technical feedback back to our Product and Engineering teams to shape the roadmap. We build our product like a private open-source project; if a feature or fix is needed to unblock a deployment, you are empowered to make it happen. You can take customer learnings to create working prototypes and systems that can eventually become part of the core platform.Drive Technical Wins
:
Navigate complex technical hurdles in deal cycles ranging from $200K+ to seven figures.Master the AI Stack
:
Stay at the bleeding edge of the ecosystem (Lang Chain, Llama Index, Vector DBs) to consult…
