computer-using agents
autonomous AI workers that operate software like humans do: reading emails, navigating portals, entering data, and syncing systems without APIs.

The Role
Were looking for a
founding software engineer
to help us scale the core engine behind our AI agents. This is not an experimental R&D job youll be building and maintaining robust production systems that interface with real-world environments full of edge cases, ambiguity, and operational complexity. Youll work closely with our co-founders to set technical direction, establish engineering best practices, and ship fast all while having the opportunity to shape the companys culture, product, and future. You will get a front row seat in customers interactions - this is critical if you want to create your own venture in the future. What Youll Do
Design, build, and maintain mission-critical infrastructure for agent orchestration, memory, logging, security, and observability Write production-grade Python (and possibly some TypeScript) to power low-latency, fault-tolerant, agentic workflows Establish testing, CI/CD, and monitoring pipelines from scratch Own system reliability: debugging flakiness, edge cases, and performance bottlenecks Collaborate with product, research, and field teams to bring new capabilities to life Make key architectural and technical decisions that will shape our core systems You Might Be a Fit If You
Have built and maintained
production systems
end-to-end from idea to deploy to debug to refactor Thrive in
ambiguous, high-autonomy environments
where youre trusted to figure things out Have deep comfort with Python (async, testing, deployment) and modern dev tooling Understand the trade-offs in system design and can keep things simple without being fragile Have a
founder mindset : ownership, urgency, and comfort with chaos Are excited by the idea of
building agents that operate on messy real-world software
instead of APIs Bonus Points For
Experience with agentic frameworks, browser automation, or secure data processing Exposure to freight, logistics, manufacturing, or other ops-heavy domains Open-source contributions or prior startup/founding experience Why Join Us
Real product, real customers
not just a demo Lucrative equity
youll be early enough to have meaningful upside Zero bureaucracy
just you, the code, and the customer Explosive growth
opportunity to lead, build, and learn faster than anywhere else We believe the future of work involves fewer humans clicking buttons. If youve built real systems and want to build something meaningful, come do it with us. Seniority level
