About the Role
Join an early-stage enterprise AI startup building agents that connect, migrate, and implement business systems. As one of the first engineers, you will shape the core product and engineering practices behind reliable, production-grade integrations.
What You'll Do

- Work directly with customers when technical requirements or implementation issues relate to your work.
- Set engineering patterns and standards as the team grows.
What We're Looking For
- At least 2 years of experience building and operating production software, including ownership in a startup or high-growth environment.
- Strong TypeScript skills and demonstrated experience building end-to-end applications, plus proficiency in Python, Go, or C.
- Sound technical judgment designing reliable, scalable infrastructure and production systems.
- Experience integrating with or implementing enterprise platforms such as ERP, CRM, or data warehouse systems.
- Experience with data migration, ETL, system integrations, distributed systems, or data pipelines.
- Comfort working directly with customers on technical implementations or support.
- Contributions to open source projects and evidence of strong technical depth, such as a substantial side project, founding experience, competitive programming, or rigorous technical training.
- Experience with LLM or agent tooling is useful.
