Founding Engineer

About the Role We're a small, fast-moving team building an agentic integration platform for the physical economy — helping supply chain businesses connect their ERP, WMS, OMS, TMS, EDI, and logistics systems in hours instead of months. Our AI-generated integration platform is already serving paying enterprise customers, and we're now bringing on our first engineering hire. This is a true founding engineer role: you'll own core systems end-to-end, set the technical patterns every future hire builds on, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founders to ship reliable, production-grade software every day. What You'll Do Own the agent platform, infrastructure, and integrations runtime end-to-end. Establish engineering patterns, conventions, and architecture decisions that will define how the team operates as it scales. Partner directly with the founders — your technical opinion matters as much as your code. Ship to production constantly, building observable, reliable, and resilient distributed systems. Drive end-to-end feature development across frontend, backend, and infrastructure with measurable customer impact. What We're Looking For Must-haves: 3+ years of software engineering experience in fast-paced environments; startup experience strongly preferred. Strong proficiency in TypeScript and React for frontend, and Node.js for backend. Demonstrated ability to build something 0 to 1 — whether at an early-stage startup or through serious side projects. Experience integrating or building workflows around large language models (LLMs) and agent-based platforms. Hands-on experience with AWS (cloud infrastructure) and PostgreSQL (data storage). Experience with observability, monitoring, tracing, and reliable retry/queuing patterns in distributed systems. Track record of owning features across the full stack — frontend, backend, and infra — with measurable customer outcomes. Nice to have: Familiarity with Bun, Effect-TS, or Kubernetes. Background in supply chain, logistics, or enterprise SaaS integrations.
