Indent About Indent

Indent is building specialized software engineering agents to automate the entire software development lifecycle, helping engineers focus on their most important work. Unlike most companies that only automate code-writing, Indent tackles the entire stack-bug fixes, incident response, data analysis, and code reviews.

Founded in 2024 by

Sashank

(ex-Meta, Ramp, Scale AI, Dagster Labs), the team brings deep experience leading engineering teams and building developer tools. Our early traction centers around the

Indent Runtime , a platform that makes it simple to create specialized AI agents for engineering tasks. Over time, engineers will use fleets of these agents to fully manage the software lifecycle.

We are a small, high-talent team of

8 people

(3 engineers, designer, sales, founder, etc.), with engineers who have over a decade of experience each-from systems engineering to compiler infrastructure to scaled video conferencing.

We are early-stage, well-funded, and hiring our next foundational team member. What You'll Do Lead the frontend architecture and development for a modern, performant web application using

React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind . Translate

Figma designs

into production-ready experiences that balance polish with performance. Build real-time, interactive product features using

WebSockets, sync engines, gRPC, or MobX , handling complex state with care. Own and maintain large-scale frontend codebases (hundreds of thousands of lines). Collaborate directly with product design, backend, and AI research to shape our developer tools. Contribute to a culture of technical excellence by pushing back when designs or product decisions compromise usability, performance, or maintainability. What We're Looking For Must-Haves 4-7 years
