Senior AI Agent Engineer - Software Product Agent Platform [32805]
Stealth Startup, San Francisco, California, United States
Senior AI Agent Engineer - Software Product Agent Platform [32805]
You’ll be a founding engineer building the infrastructure for autonomous software delivery agents. This isn’t "AI-enhanced tooling" - it’s category-defining agent orchestration that will become essential infrastructure for every software company.
What you’ll build:
Product Intelligence Engine: Transform JIRA workflows, Git patterns, and business context into autonomous decision‑making
Multi‑Agent Communication: Enable Liz to collaborate with external agents like Devin, Replit, and future AI tools
Enterprise‑Scale Automation: Handle 100+ concurrent projects with intelligent resource allocation and stakeholder communication
Market Reality: CTOs control $5.74 trillion in software delivery budgets. We’re building the AI agent infrastructure to automate their most complex operational challenges.
What We’re Looking For
Must‑Haves
Senior Python expertise with production‑scale backend systems
AI engineering experience – LLM orchestration, agent frameworks, or autonomous systems
Product‑focused mindset – you care about what you’re building and its impact on users
Ownership mentality – bias for action, comfortable with ambiguity, driven to solve hard problems
Bonus Points
Enterprise integration expertise (JIRA APIs, Git platforms, workflow automation)
Startup experience at category‑creating companies (especially developer tools or AI infrastructure)
Frontend experience
Why This Role Matters
You're not joining a team – you're assembling one. As a founding engineer, you'll:
Define the category: Your technical decisions shape how "Software Product Agents" work industry‑wide
Architect platform infrastructure: Build the foundation that scales to enterprise customers with $100M+ development budgets
Own core systems: Lead autonomous agent development from concept to production deployment
Work directly with the CEO: Collaborate with Matt on technical vision, customer feedback integration, and strategic platform evolution
Continuous delivery and quick iterations. We experiment, keep what works, eliminate what doesn’t. No processes for the sake of processes.
Flat, collaborative teams where engineers drive product decisions. You’ll be deeply involved in strategy, not just implementing features.
Radical candor and ownership. We tell each other the truth, take responsibility for outcomes, and focus on building something remarkable.
Remote‑first with global collaboration. Work from anywhere, but coordinate effectively across time zones and communication styles.
Architecture Philosophy: AI‑native design for autonomous action, not retrofitted intelligence on legacy monitoring tools.
Compensation & Growth
Competitive base salary + significant equity
Equity upside: Ground floor of category creation with billion‑dollar market potential. Early team members have a disproportionate impact on company trajectory and ownership.
Career positioning: Founding engineer experience building the infrastructure that defines autonomous software delivery.
Details
Years of experience: 3+
Salary: very competitive
Visa sponsorship: Can do H1B transfers + sponsor TNs but not new H1Bs
Location: remote, but preference for Bay Area
Tech stack: Python, LLM orchestration tools like Langchain and LlamaIndex
