Founding Engineer
Replo
About The Role
Hiring a full-stack/founding engineer to join our team and focused on product engineering and shipping new features
Things You'll Be Working On
Architecting and implementing full-stack product features in Typescript/React/Node is the core of what you'll be doing. Real examples include — Platform
- Building sandbox infrastructure for our agents (managing secrets, proxies, and compute)
- Building an eval framework for our models
- Launching an analytics platform on ClickHouse/MSK that consumes millions of events per day
- Building an agentic workflow orchestration architecture
- Building a public API for Replo/Slack bots
- Overhauling our billing system to support arbitrary usage-based billing
Programs
- Enabling customers to buy domains directly through Replo
- Building agent-driven insight reporting for businesses
- Building a full product-customizer UI for custom print-on-demand products
Looking For Someone Who
- Can be in office 4-5 days/week in San Francisco
- Is proficient in Typescript/React/Node
- Uses Cursor/Claude Code to accelerate their work
- Has built products 0 -> 1 with real users and revenue
- Is OK operating independently without product/design
- Is ALWAYS SHIPPING. We don't spend weeks planning features at Replo
- Has a product and customer-focused mindset
- Has experience being burned by deployment and maintenance issues. If you have a strong opinion on how products should be built, that's good
- Values writing clean, maintainable software, including documentation (e.g. the code needs to be correct and run fast, but we're the ones that have to read it and understand it)
- Is comfortable with ambiguity and defining software architecture patterns to solve customer pain points
Bonus Points If You
- Have a CS degree or formal computer science/STEM backend
- Have started a company before
- Enjoy attending hackathons
- Worked at an early-stage (Series A or earlier) startup previously
- Have not wasted hours interview-prepping on Leetcode
- Have an eye for visual design (or past experience in product design, Figma, etc).
