About The Position

We're building the AI workforce for the physical economy — AI agents that replace the manual coordination layer running on emails, spreadsheets, TMS, ERP, and phone calls at companies that move, make, and deliver physical things. Our agents handle complex multi-day workflows, learn from feedback, and reach 90%+ autonomous execution in production.
Our founder Obaid Khan co-founded Motive — scaled it to $350M+ in revenue and a $5B+ valuation. We're going after the next big problem in the same market. Early team but we have multiple customers including Fortune 500. We move fast and hold a high bar.
Join us and build the core agent platform that automates complex operational workflows across the physical economy. You'll work across the stack — from AI agent orchestration to the product surfaces customers interact with daily.

Requirements

• 5+ years shipping production software, with meaningful full-stack range (you've built the backend and the product surfaces on top of them).
• A track record of driving large, ambiguous projects to done — not just completing tickets inside someone else's design.
• Strong product instincts. You can tell when something is 90% there and still wrong, and you push until it's right.
• You want massive ownership on an early team and are energized by the ambiguity that comes with it

Responsibilities

• Ship end-to-end: design, build, and operate features that span agent orchestration, integrations (TMS, ERP, email, voice, vendor portals), and the UIs customers use to train, review, and trust the agents.
• Own problems, not tickets. You'll pick up ambiguous customer workflows and turn them into reliable automated systems in production.
• Work directly with customers — including Fortune 500 ops teams — to understand what they actually do all day, then compress it into agent behavior.
• Raise the autonomous execution rate. Every point from 80% → 95% is a product, infra, and evals problem. You'll work on all three.
• Set the engineering bar. Early team decisions compound — architecture, code review culture, on-call, how we ship.
