Forward Deployed Engineer

About the Role This is an early engineering hire at an agentic integration platform, working directly alongside the founding team to own core systems end-to-end. You'll help build and shape the agent platform, infrastructure, and integrations runtime — the foundation everything else gets built on. It's a rare opportunity to set engineering patterns from the ground up at a company doing genuinely novel work in production AI systems. What You'll Do Own the agent platform, infrastructure, and integrations runtime end-to-end. Establish engineering patterns and standards that every future hire will build upon. Ship to production constantly, working closely with the founders on the full system. Help shape the architecture and direction of the platform in your first year. What We're Looking For 2–9 years of engineering experience, ideally across backend systems and infrastructure. Strong proficiency with TypeScript ; comfort with the broader stack (React, Bun, Effect-TS, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, AWS) is a plus. Experience building production-grade, distributed, or agentic systems — not just prototypes. Background at high-caliber engineering organizations (e.g. top-tier tech, consulting, or developer tooling companies). Comfortable with ownership and ambiguity in an early-stage environment. Strong CS fundamentals and a bias for shipping working software. Compensation & Benefits Salary: $150,000 – $250,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship: Available. Location On-site in San Francisco, CA, United States .
