Job Description
About the Role
We are looking for a Founding Engineer with 1+ years of professional experience shipping to production to join our early-stage team. We are seeking a high-agency, first-principles thinker who thrives in ambiguity and wants real ownership, ideally someone who aspires to be a founder someday. This person will play a pivotal role in building our core agent infrastructure, shaping our technical strategy, and helping us scale aggressively as we push toward Series A.
What You'll DoDesign, build, and operate core infrastructure powering our people-data and agent platform, including APIs, LLM-powered workflows, scraping systems, and large-scale knowledge graph architecture
Architect and maintain production-grade systems capable of handling millions of API requests, with a strong focus on performance, cost efficiency, and reliability across cloud and Linux server environments
Own projects end-to-end, from ambiguous problem definition through deployment and iteration, shipping quickly without sacrificing system integrity
Collaborate directly with founding leadership on technical decisions, roadmap priorities, and foundational architectural choices that will define the company's long-term direction
Contribute broadly across the stack and the company, including developer documentation, technical tutorials, internal tooling, and experimental builds that showcase and stress-test our APIs
