About the Role

Join an early-stage AI company building software that learns enterprise workflows and automates them with coding agents. As the first engineering hire, you will build across the product stack and help turn hands-on client work into a repeatable system.

What You'll Do

Build high-throughput, high-concurrency systems that capture activity from client desktop environments.

Develop privacy and redaction systems to keep sensitive data appropriately protected.

Model recorded work as structured process knowledge, including knowledge graphs.

Build coding-agent systems that generate software and support deploying it into production.

Work directly with clients to install desktop agents, map workflows, and deliver automation.

Turn practical, end-to-end client work into scalable product capabilities.

What We're Looking For

At least 2 years of experience shipping production software end to end, including owning features from design through deployment.

Experience working directly with clients or customers in a technical role.

Experience building LLMs or AI agents into production systems.

Strong full-stack or backend skills in TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, or a similar language.

Interest in a high-ownership, early-stage role with ambiguity and broad product responsibilities.

Experience with high-throughput or high-concurrency systems, Rust, desktop applications or agents, or coding-agent and code-generation systems is valuable.

Familiarity with Tauri, Electron, Windows, PostgreSQL, Next.js, or Azure is useful.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary is $150,000 to $250,000 annually, plus 0.5% to 1.5% equity. US work authorization is required; visa sponsorship is not available.

Location

On-site in San Francisco, California, United States.
