Overview Direct message the job poster from Harnham. We’re a stealth-stage startup backed by top-tier pre-seed investors, building an AI-driven productivity and wellbeing partner for high performers, founders, C-suite execs, pro athletes, and creators. Rather than a traditional screen-first product, the platform delivers agentic support through voice, text, smartwatch, email, and phone, prioritizing a seamless, proactive, and deeply integrated user experience.

The Role As a Founding Software Engineer (Engineer #2), you’ll help architect and build the backend systems powering our AI agents, integrate multi-modal inputs, and scale GPU-enabled model infrastructure. This is a backend-heavy, high-ownership role focused on AI infrastructure, agentic capabilities, and rapid prototyping. You’ll collaborate closely with product and engineering leadership to ship features quickly and define the technical direction of the company.

Strong experience with cloud platforms (AWS or GCP), GPU hosting, and modern DevOps practices

Proficient in Python, Node.js, or Golang

Experience or strong interest in AI/LLM infrastructure and agentic systems

Data science or ML engineering background preferred

Builder-first mindset with a startup or founder-like mentality

Comfortable working in a lean, fast-iteration environment and spending time in-person in NYC
