- Traction: Real deployments with Fortune 100 Fortune customers.
- Founder-Market Fit: Our CEO was previously the VP of Products for Okta where he led all developer product, all new products, and overall product strategy. Prior to Okta he founded Stormpath (acquired by Okta), where he created the first Authentication API for developers. He's done this before - and this time the market is 10x bigger. Our CTO led the vector database team at Redis, shipped 100+ LLM applications, and is a contributor to LangChain and LlamaIndex. He knows this space better than anyone.
- Dream Team: We've assembled authentication, integrations, distributed systems, and AI experts from Okta, MongoDB, Redis, Microsoft, Meta, Confluent, ServiceNow, Atlassian, Splunk, Ngrok, Google, and Airbyt who've built and founded multiple successful developer platforms.
- Perfect Timing: Every enterprise is racing to put agents in production - almost none get there. The problem isn't better models, it's proving which agent can take which action, on behalf of which user, against which system. That's us.
- Massive Market : We're building critical infrastructure for the biggest technological shift of our generation. Every enterprise agent, whether custom-built on frameworks like LangChain or bought from vendors like Anthropic and Microsoft, needs governed access to the systems it acts in. That's the layer we're building.
- Backed By The Best: Our Series A round is led by SYN Ventures, with strategic investment from Cisco, Morgan Stanley, and Wipro. Our earlier investors have also backed Databricks, Clickhouse, MongoDB, Perplexity, Cohere, ScaleAI, Confluent, Elastic, and Firebase. They see what we see - this is going to be huge.
The Challenge
You'll report to the Engineering Manager for Abilities, Builder, and Growth. Abilities exists to enable agents to get things done - full stop. We take a job to be done that someone's trying to do (or that we want to enable) and figure out how to deliver it, whatever that takes: updating the Arcade Engine itself (Go), building an MCP server, standing up an entirely new service to support Skills, building an agent and figuring out how to ship it via MCP, or whatever's next in this space.
You're building the tools, skills, and platform underneath them - the pieces that let an agent do things nobody's figured out how to do yet. Every time an agent hits a wall in Cowork or ChatGPT - some action it just can't take - that's a rough edge the Abilities Team gets to fix, at the scale of every customer who hits it.
The team is early and the surface area is growing fast, so you'll have real ownership from day one, including a hand in the patterns every toolkit author after you inherits, and in agents-as-tools (sub-agents), which Abilities also owns.
