Job Description
The Opportunity
You'll be a founding engineer building the infrastructure for autonomous software delivery agents. This isn't "AI-enhanced tooling" - it's category-defining agent orchestration that will become essential infrastructure for every software company.
What you'll build:
โ AI Agent Orchestration: Coordinate multiple specialized agents (product planning, architecture, security) to automate company-level software delivery
โ Product Intelligence Engine: Transform JIRA workflows, Git patterns, and business context into autonomous decision-making
โ Multi-Agent Communication: Enable Liz to collaborate with external agents like Devin, Replit, and future AI tools
โ Enterprise-Scale Automation: Handle 100+ concurrent projects with intelligent resource allocation and stakeholder communication
Market Reality: CTOs control $5.74 trillion in software delivery budgets. We're building the AI agent infrastructure to automate their most complex operational challenges.
What We're Looking For
Must-Haves
โ Senior Python expertise with production-scale backend systems
โ AI engineering experience - LLM orchestration, agent frameworks, or autonomous systems
โ Product-focused mindset - you care about what you're building and its impact on users
โ Ownership mentality - bias for action, comfortable with ambiguity, driven to solve hard problems
Bonus Points
โ Enterprise integration expertise (JIRA APIs, Git platforms, workflow automation)
โ Startup experience at category-creating companies (especially developer tools or AI infrastructure)
โ Frontend experience
Why This Role Matters
You're not joining a team - you're assembling one. As a founding engineer, you'll:
โ Define the category: Your technical decisions shape how "Software Product Agents" work industry-wide
โ Architect platform infrastructure: Build the foundation that scales to enterprise customers with $100M+ development budgets
โ Own core systems: Lead autonomous agent development from concept to production deployment
โ Work directly with the CEO: Collaborate with Matt on technical vision, customer feedback integration, and strategic platform evolution
Our Engineering Culture
โ Continuous delivery and quick iterations. We experiment, keep what works, eliminate what doesn't. No processes for the sake of processes.
โ Flat, collaborative teams where engineers drive product decisions. You'll be deeply involved in strategy, not just implementing features.
โ Radical candor and ownership. We tell each other the truth, take responsibility for outcomes, and focus on building something remarkable.
โ Remote-first with global collaboration. Work from anywhere, but coordinate effectively across time zones and communication styles.
โ Architecture Philosophy: AI-native design for autonomous action, not retrofitted intelligence on legacy monitoring tools.
Compensation & Growth
โ Competitive base salary + significant equity
โ Equity upside: Ground floor of category creation with billion-dollar market potential. Early team members have a disproportionate impact on company trajectory and ownership.
โ Career positioning: Founding engineer experience building the infrastructure that defines autonomous software delivery.
Details:
โ Years of experience: 3+
โ Salary: very competitive
โ Equity: very competitive
โ Visa sponsorship: Can do H1B transfers + sponsor TNs but not new H1Bs
โ Full-time position
โ Location: remote, but preference for Bay Area
โ Tech stack: Python, LLM orchestration tools like Langchain and LlamaIndex
