Founding Member of Technical Staff

• You've worked somewhere that handles enormous volume.
• You've worked in our stack: TypeScript, Next.js, React, Tailwind, tRPC, Postgres, Inngest/Temporal, MCP, CLI, plugins.
• You've been a founder.
• You’ve built for developers.
• You've been a real contributor to a large open-source project, or you have a serious side project.
• You've worked at an early-stage startup before.

You know what's out there, you have opinions about what to use when, and you know when not to. You've built long-running durable complex workflows, things that have to survive retries and partial. We ingest every agent session, message, PR, ticket and call across every team we serve. The volume is massive, and we are responsible for ensuring not a single thing gets missed. You are the person who finds the extra 200ms.

You know the literature and you're creative on top of it. We're trying to measure something that is very hard to measure: what context makes the user’s agent work better? You can design benchmarks that truly measure the thing, make the judgment calls that go into them, and turn the results into what actually works in the real world. A lot of what we are working towards is uncharted territory, so expect to do a lot of thinking.

You own the customer experience end to end. You have deep empathy for the people you deploy with, and you take responsibility for their outcome, not just your part of it. You close the loop with every other function: what you hear from customers turns into signal that improves the product, the infra and the research across the board.

• You build with agents and for agents and their developers & end users.
• You build the systems that let a team ship fast without breaking things.
• You have taste.
• You build trust with the people around you. You admit what you don't know.
• You know what to prioritize. 80% of the value comes from 20% of the work, and you can find that 20%.
