At Tasklet, we're building the cloud agent OS for work. Our agents are a complex orchestration of LLMs, virtual machines, storage infrastructure, external integrations, triggers, and other systems that all work together to make AI feel like magic.
We're looking for a staff-level software engineer to help us design & build the next generation of our core agent infrastructure. This is a leadership role with generous equity intended for a truly exceptional candidate.
Compensation
- $280k → $380k salary
- 0.4% → 0.8% equity
- Competitive benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k, 4 weeks PTO, free lunch, etc)
Responsibilities
- Own the architecture & continuous improvement of core parts of our agent's technical infrastructure
- Identify, design, build, ship, and improve new agent features
- Become a world expert at context engineering, including following the latest research & tech. Do whatever is needed to keep us at the frontier.
- Define abstractions that enable the entire team to ship rapidly and reliably on top of your code
- Step up to solve challenges wherever needed—this is a startup, and we're all in it together!
Our ideal candidate
- Very strong CS fundamentals & a systems engineering or distributed systems background
- Exceptional, AI-native programming skills using an ultra-modern stack
- You were the technical lead for a large scale cloud system that's currently in production
- You're AGI-pilled & deep into relevant AI tech. You're currently building an AI agent system.
- You could easily be an engineering leader on an agent product at a top AI lab — but you want the outsized impact of a startup and you believe Tasklet can win.

About Tasklet
AI chatbots can answer questions, but they can't do your work — they aren't connected to your tools, can't take actions, and stop running when you close the tab. Meanwhile, knowledge workers are still spending most of their day switching between dozens of SaaS apps, manually stitching together workflows that should be automated. Tasklet is the AI agent that actually does the work. It connects to every tool you use — via thousands of built-in integrations, any HTTP API, or MCP servers — and takes real actions on your behalf: pulling reports, updating CRMs, triaging emails, processing data, and more. When it needs a UI, it generates one on the fly. When it needs to crunch numbers or do bulk operations, it writes and runs code in a cloud sandbox. When it needs to interact with a website that doesn't have an API, it uses a real browser. And because it runs in the cloud 24/7, you can set up triggers to have it take ongoing responsibility for workflows — not just do something once, but handle it going forward. The product is deliberately simple: a chat interface where you talk to an extremely capable agent. But underneath that simplicity is a cloud-native agent runtime, best-in-class context engineering, a universal connections layer, and multi-model support that keeps us on the frontier as AI improves. We think legacy SaaS is being unbundled by agents, and Tasklet is the operating system that ties it all together.
