Founding Engineer - Agentic

This is a founding-level engineering role at a seed-stage flexible workforce marketplace, sitting directly alongside the CTO to own the entire agent layer end-to-end. You will set the patterns for how every agent in the platform gets built, measured, and improved, working on production systems with real-world consequences at scale. This is a rare opportunity to define the architecture of agentic software in a domain where no one has fully solved it yet.

Own the full agent layer: context engineering, self-learning systems, evals, the agent harness, and the meta-harness.

Build a compounding knowledge base of undocumented systems so that each new integration gets faster and better than the last.

Design and ship self-healing workflows where agents detect, diagnose, and autonomously recover from production failures.

Build and maintain the meta-harness that lets the team create, evaluate, and evolve new agents in days.

Set engineering patterns that every future agent on the platform follows.

Help hire and grow the agentic engineering team over time.

Work as a peer to the founding team and experiment relentlessly.
