Founding Engineer

About the Role

This is a founding engineering position at a YC-backed enterprise AI startup building agents that automate complex system integrations, migrations, and implementations — the kind of critical infrastructure work that typically takes consultants months to deliver. You'll join a small, senior team and have direct influence over the architecture, culture, and engineering bar for everyone who comes after you.

What You'll Do

• Build the agent core: the planning, execution, and self-healing loops that turn natural-language integration descriptions into production-grade data movement.

• Own systems end to end — connectors, transformation engine, execution runtime, web app, SDK, and MCP server — picking up the highest-leverage problem each week and shipping it.

• Work on production-critical infrastructure that operates directly on live ERP and financial systems, where reliability and failure-mode awareness genuinely matter.

• Join customer calls when technical depth is needed, translating real-world requirements into product decisions.

• Set the engineering patterns and standards that the next wave of engineers will build on.

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of software engineering experience building and operating production systems.

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript with demonstrated experience building full-stack, end-to-end applications.

• Experience designing and implementing critical infrastructure with sound judgment on reliability and scalability.

• Hands-on experience integrating with or implementing enterprise systems such as ERPs, CRMs, or data warehouse platforms (e.g. SAP, NetSuite, Salesforce, Snowflake, or similar).

• Proficiency in at least one additional language beyond TypeScript — Python, Go, or C.

• Experience working directly with customers on technical implementations or support.

• Experience building or meaningfully contributing to open source projects.

• Background in data migration, ETL, or system integration work is a strong plus.

• Strong CS fundamentals from a rigorous academic background or equivalent demonstrated depth through competitive programming or impactful internships.

• Comfortable in an early-stage environment with limited process and high ownership.

• Clear, direct communicator — with teammates and with customers alike.
