Full Job Description

đź“‹ Description

  • • A fast-growing, seed-stage startup building an agentic integration platform for enterprise customers is hiring its first engineering hire.
  • • This is a rare opportunity to own core systems end-to-end, set the engineering patterns that every future team member will build on, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founding team to ship production-ready software.
  • • The platform is live, has paying enterprise customers, and is growing quickly.
  • • You won't be building in a vacuum — you'll be shipping to production constantly and seeing real impact on real users from day one.
  • • Own core systems end-to-end: agent platform, cloud infrastructure, and the integrations runtime.
  • • Set the engineering patterns, standards, and architecture decisions that every future hire will build upon.
  • • Work directly with the founders — your opinions and technical leadership are genuinely needed, not just your code.
  • • Ship reliable, observable, production-grade systems continuously.
  • • Drive end-to-end feature development across frontend, backend, and infrastructure with measurable customer impact.

🎯 Requirements

  • • 3+ years of software engineering experience building and shipping production systems.
  • • Proven track record of building something from 0 to 1 — in an early-stage startup or a serious side project.
  • • Proficiency in TypeScript and React for frontend development.
  • • Proficiency in Node.js for backend development.
  • • Hands-on experience integrating or building workflows around large language models (LLMs) and agent-based platforms.
  • • Experience with AWS for cloud infrastructure.
  • • Experience with PostgreSQL for data storage and database design.
  • • Experience implementing observability, monitoring, and tracing in production systems.
  • • Experience building reliable retry and queuing patterns in distributed systems.

🏖️ Benefits

  • • Salary: $150,000 – $250,000 USD annually.
  • • Visa sponsorship is available.
