About the Role

We're building AI coworkers for IT teams, with a rigorous focus on security, identity, authorization, and reliable agent execution. We're looking for a Founding Full-Stack Engineer who thrives on building complex systems from the ground up and wants significant impact on the future of AI infrastructure.

This role is backend- and systems-heavy, but you'll own the product end-to-end, spanning infrastructure, APIs, and user-facing experiences. You'll develop workflow systems for long-running human and AI agent tasks, design identity and authorization systems, build secure credential infrastructure, and work on sandboxed environments and production-grade APIs powering the next generation of AI systems.

  • 4+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Proven experience designing and operating complex production systems
  • Strong backend and systems architecture proficiency
  • Able to work in-person in San Francisco, Monday through Friday
  • High ownership and comfort navigating ambiguity

Strongly preferred:

  • Experience across frontend, infrastructure, data, and product layers
  • Background in security, IAM, authorization, or workflow orchestration
  • Experience with multi-tenant SaaS or AI infrastructure
  • Strong understanding of failure modes, threat models, and system reliability
  • Ability to move fast without compromising security or correctness

Nice to have:

  • Experience with permission/identity systems
  • Experience with secrets or privileged-access platforms
  • Experience with workflow engines and reconciliation systems
  • Experience with agent infrastructure and evaluation systems
  • Experience with sandboxes or virtualized execution
  • Experience with enterprise integrations
  • Prior founding/early-stage engineering experience owning architecture and production

About the Company

A fast-growing, pre-seed AI infrastructure startup building foundational technology for AI agents, with a specific focus on security and reliability. Collaborative, high-impact environment for engineers passionate about building complex systems from day one.

Benefits

Competitive compensation, health insurance, unlimited PTO, office meals, visa sponsorship for qualified candidates.
