ABOUT THE ROLE
This is the first engineering hire at a solo-founded, freshly funded AI startup building the infrastructure layer for AI-native service businesses. You will work directly with the founder to turn a working agentic product into infrastructure that can hold real scale. This is a first-hire, high-ownership role with a clear path to a CTO seat as the team grows.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Rebuild a working product into agentic infrastructure designed to scale to a large user base.
- Design and operate the agent runtime, covering orchestration, memory, verification, and the machinery that makes an AI workforce reliable.
- Own the full technical surface: backend, infrastructure, frontend, and agents.
- Set the technical stack, engineering bar, and the way the team builds, as the person establishing those standards.
- Ship to production on a weekly cadence for real businesses running on the platform today.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- At least 2 years shipping production software, or an equivalent track record building and shipping real systems as a founder or solo builder.
- Hands-on experience building and running LLM or AI agent systems in production, with real users depending on
