Job Description

We are looking for product engineers who ship fast with an unrelenting bar for quality. You'll work directly with the founders every day, own user-facing features from design to build, and turn customer feedback into code that run in mission-critical environments. This is a high ownership role at an AI-pilled open core company winning deals against competitors 100x their size.

What you’ll do

You won’t just be picking up tickets; you will have the agency to shape product direction and engineering approaches across the stack.

  • Ship customer-facing features from 0-to-1: design, build, test, deploy, and own them in production
  • Turn user feedback into code fast with zero compromise on technical rigor
  • Work directly with the founders to keep priorities clear and blockers out of the way
  • Build intuitive user-experiences and reliable backend services that customers trust everyday
  • Solve hard technical problems at the frontier of applied AI: from kernel-level agent sandboxes to agent memory retrieval for large data collection, you’re expected to turn research into product at a relentless pace.
  • Engineer foundational agentic systems (skills, memory, reinforcement learning loops) for our customers and our own needs

What you bring

  • Product intuition: you care about the "why" as much as the "how"
  • You thrive working in small teams where speed and ownership are the norm
  • Technical mastery: you have deep, senior+ level expertise in either:
    • Frontend: deep knowledge of React, Next.js. You understand the virtual DOM and state management complexities.
    • Backend: strong systems design skills across distributed systems, API architecture, and database optimization.
  • Adaptability: you are willing to step outside your comfort zone. If you are backend-heavy, you are willing to touch the frontend (and vice versa) to get a feature over the line.
  • Slope over intercept: we value learning velocity, grit, and unapologetically unique personalities

Bonus

  • Prior experience as a founder or founding engineer
  • Experience building agentic products
  • Experience working in product led companies with mission-critical infrastructure
  • If you've personally built something people use, years of experience is basically irrelevant

Company benefits:

  • Competitive compensation and meaningful equity
  • 20 days paid time off every year
  • 15 days of remote work flexibility per year
  • 100% coverage for health, dental, vision
  • Wellness stipend to spend on gym, spa, or whatever keeps you at your best
  • Free lunch
  • Team offsites

Interview Process

  • 30 minute introductory call
  • 2 hour technical interview
  • 2 day on-site at our New York office
