Forward Deployed Engineer

Job Description
Job Description
About the Role
One of our first engineers. Own core systems alongside the founders. We are an agentic integration platform for the real economy. Specialized AI agents gather requirements in plain English, generate integration code, test it, deploy it, and keep it alive in production. You will own core systems end-to-end: agent platform, infrastructure, and the integrations runtime.
These are not chatbots or thin wrappers on an LLM. The agents do actual work with actual consequences in production: agent orchestration across specialized agents, a mini deployment platform for integration runtime with durable execution, self-healing systems, and a knowledge base that gets smarter with every integration.
What You'll DoOwn core systems end-to-end. Agent platform, infrastructure, and the integrations runtime.
Set the engineering patterns. Everything every future hire builds on starts with you.
Work directly with the founders. Ship to production constantly and help shape the whole system.
You have shipped real things end-to-end, multiple times. Owned them, not just contributed.
You code with AI agents and lean into it, but have the taste not to ship poor quality work.
Strong technical opinions, held loosely. You change your mind when the evidence says so.
You want a true early-stage, in-person experience: fast-paced, high intensity.
