Viktor is the AI coworker. It lives in Slack and Microsoft Teams, connects to thousands of tools, and does real work for real companies: finance, marketing, ops, engineering. We're building the product that replaces half the SaaS stack with a single teammate.

The team is small. The scope is not.

The Role

We're hiring AI Engineers who want to build the infrastructure behind autonomous AI agents at scale. You'll work across the full stack — from the agent runtime and sandbox orchestration to the integrations layer and the product surface in Slack and Teams.

This is not a "maintain the monolith" role. You'll ship features end-to-end, make architectural decisions with real consequences, and see your work in production the same day. The pace is high, the team is small, and every engineer has an outsized impact.

What You'll Work On

Agent runtime — sandboxed execution, tool orchestration, memory systems
Integrations — Slack, Teams, and 50+ third-party tools (APIs, OAuth, webhooks)
Infrastructure — container orchestration, scaling, cost optimization
Product — features that ship directly to users through the conversational interface
Whatever needs building. The team is small. The surface area is large.

What We're Looking For

Agentic coding. You're fully bought into AI-assisted development — using agents, parallelized workflows, and whatever tools make you fastest. This is how we work.
Systems thinking. Strong system design judgment. You can make hard technical trade-offs and own them. You understand how things break at scale.
Speed without compromise. You know how to build things fast while keeping the quality bar high. No enterprise engineering. No three-week review cycles. Ship today, not Thursday.

Bonus

AI engineering experience — agents, harnesses, deep model understanding.
Previous founder or early-stage builder. You've worn every hat and liked it.

Relevant Backgrounds

Backend engineering, ML/AI engineering, fullstack builder, or founder who codes. Verticals matter less than velocity.

How We Work

Small team, high trust, low process. Slack is our operating system (we eat our own cooking).
Agentic coding is the default. We use Viktor internally to build Viktor.
Decisions are made by owners, not committees. If you can ship it today, ship it today.
We're in wartime. The window between product-market fit and category dominance is now. Every hire, every feature, every decision matters.

Tech

TypeScript/React (frontend), Python (backend/agents), Modal (infrastructure). You don't need to know all of it coming in — you need to learn fast.

Compensation

Competitive salary + meaningful equity. We're early enough that the equity matters and growing fast enough that you'll see it.

How to Apply

Send us your strongest signal. A GitHub profile, a side project, a demo, a one-paragraph explanation of why you're fast — whatever makes the case better than a resume alone.

How we work

Small team, high trust, low process. Decisions are made by owners, not committees. You will ship your first week. You will talk to users your first day. We don't do alignment meetings or stakeholder syncs. We build things, see if they work, and iterate.

Everyone here owns something real. Not a task. A surface of the company that customers depend on. When it breaks, you fix it. When it wins, everyone knows whose work it was.

We use Viktor to build Viktor. You'll see what you're working on in action every day.

Why Viktor

This is a rare window. The product works. The market is pulling. The team is small enough that what you do next week will be live in production next week. That doesn't last forever. Right now, it's still true.
