Founding Staff Engineer, AI Agent

Roe AI Inc.

Roe is a hypergrowth startup building Cursor for Financial Crimes. Today, Roe is trusted by multiple public companies representing $400B+ in combined market cap.

Y Combinator, Google AI Ventures, Ardent Ventures, the CEO of Snowflake, and senior leaders from LinkedIn and top fintechs back us.

What you'll do

  • Build highly sophisticated agentic products to investigate complex financial crimes.
  • Lead the technical designs and team charters.
  • Operate as one team: own problems end-to-end, review each other’s code, and move quickly.

What you won’t do

  • Bureaucracy. No 3-month approvals to launch a feature.
  • Politics. No fighting other teams for headcount or scope.
  • Build for the void. We ship what customers actually need.

You may be a great fit if

  • You’re a new grad hungry to learn, or an industry veteran tired of red tape and ready to bet on upside.
  • You want to learn how to build a startup from the inside.
  • You’re comfortable with: Python, Cursor, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), and agent frameworks.
  • People describe you as obsessed, curious, and resourceful.

This role isn’t for you if

  • You’re looking to rest & vest.
  • You can’t commit to intense weeks (we sometimes run 6-day sprints).
  • You’re not among the top 5% builders in your network.
  • You can’t be in the office 3 days/week (hybrid in SF Bay Area).

Must Requirements

  • 4-10 years of software development experience.
  • Lead 5-people + projects
  • Get along well with PMs and Designers.
  • Communicative

Perks & benefits

  • Epic offsites (e.g., Napa Valley Wine Train, speed sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge).
  • Daily lunch stipend—order what you actually want.
  • Medical, dental, vision, and standard insurance.
  • Hybrid work: in-office collaboration + focused WFH days.
