Founding Engineer

• You have personally built and operated at least one AI agent or agentic workflow in production. You can clearly explain how it worked, where it failed, how you evaluated it, and what you kept deterministic or human-led.
• Strong engineering judgment across models, orchestration, APIs, data and integrations, permissions, observability, and evaluations.
• You have worked directly with customers or end users—discovery, implementation, or incident resolution—and communicate clearly with non-technical people.
• You can break a messy workflow into deterministic steps, agentic decisions, human judgment, and exception paths—and define how each part will be tested.
• You care about keeping plausible but wrong AI output away from customers: grounded context, constrained actions, verification, evals, review, monitoring.
• You thrive in zero-to-one ambiguity: shipping weekly, owning outcomes, and doing whatever the service needs—including unglamorous review tooling and data plumbing.
• Exposure to a regulated domain (payroll, payments, tax, benefits, labor compliance) is a plus, not a requirement.
• Demonstrated production experience matters more than title or years.

• An early employee opportunity at a Series B hyper-growth startup; work with the founding team and industry veterans to accelerate your career

• In office amenities and stocked kitchen
