Founding Software Engineer

OfficeSan Francisco

We're building the AI workforce for the physical economy — AI agents that replace the manual coordination layer running on emails, spreadsheets, TMS, ERP, and phone calls at companies that move, make, and deliver physical things. Our agents handle complex multi-day workflows, learn from feedback, and reach 90%+ autonomous execution in production.

Our founder Obaid Khan co-founded Motive — scaled it to $350M+ in revenue and a $5B+ valuation. We're going after the next big problem in the same market. Early team but we have multiple customers including Fortune 500. We move fast and hold a high bar.

Join us and build the core agent platform that automates complex operational workflows across the physical economy. You'll work across the stack — from AI agent orchestration to the product surfaces customers interact with daily.

What You'll Do

  • Ship end-to-end: design, build, and operate features that span agent orchestration, integrations (TMS, ERP, email, voice, vendor portals), and the UIs customers use to train, review, and trust the agents.

  • Own problems, not tickets. You'll pick up ambiguous customer workflows and turn them into reliable automated systems in production.

  • Work directly with customers — including Fortune 500 ops teams — to understand what they actually do all day, then compress it into agent behavior.

  • Raise the autonomous execution rate. Every point from 80% → 95% is a product, infra, and evals problem. You'll work on all three.

  • Set the engineering bar. Early team decisions compound — architecture, code review culture, on-call, how we ship.

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years shipping production software, with meaningful full-stack range (you've built the backend and the product surfaces on top of them).

  • A track record of driving large, ambiguous projects to done — not just completing tickets inside someone else's design.

  • Strong product instincts. You can tell when something is 90% there and still wrong, and you push until it's right.

  • You want massive ownership on an early team and are energized by the ambiguity that comes with it

Tech Stack & How We Work

  • TypeScript across the stack deployed on modern cloud infrastructure. Pragmatic about tools — we pick what lets us ship.

  • Small team, high trust, low process. Direct access to founders and customers. In-person bias.
