Founding Year : 2023
Stage : Early-Stage Startup

This early-stage team is building the foundation for enterprise AI—deploying autonomous agents that deliver specialized services with human-level quality. Founded by builders from companies like Google, Databricks, and Canva, they’re moving fast to turn ambitious ideas into real-world systems.
As one of the first platform engineers, you’ll help define, architect, and build the systems that make everything possible. Cognitive agents, context graphs, observability, developer tools—this is zero-to-one, high-ownership work with massive technical depth. You'll be hands‑on in setting the technical direction, making foundational choices, and scaling the infrastructure that real‑world AI deployments depend on.
What You’ll Tackle
Architect and build core platform components—structured context graphs, observability layers, tagging and discovery systems.
Design scalable APIs and frameworks that drive AI‑powered workflows across multiple industries.
Build bi‑directional Git integrations and interfaces that make developer and non‑technical user workflows seamless.
Own platform infrastructure decisions end‑to‑end—from strategic design to hands‑on implementation.
Collaborate across backend, product, and AI engineering teams to launch high‑quality systems fast.
