About The Position

We're hiring a Founding Engineer to help shape both the product and the company from the very beginning. This is engineer number one, so you won't be joining an existing team, you'll be helping to build one. You'll work on AI agents and the infrastructure behind products for ecommerce brands, in a market that changes every few weeks and that nobody has fully figured out yet. If that kind of ambiguity sounds like an opportunity to you, read on.

Requirements

Your most recent role was at a fast-moving startup (Series A or B, or similar), and you know what moving fast really means
You've built AI agents or LLM-powered systems that run in production, not just local experiments
You're strong across the stack in TypeScript, Node.js, Express, React and Next.js, and can ship end to end on your own
You enjoy ownership and wearing several hats, and changing priorities or small pivots don't throw you off
You set your own priorities and bring new ideas without waiting to be told
You can work in person in San Francisco
