About the Role
You will own features end to end, from conception to production, across our gateway infrastructure, enterprise deployments, and agentic systems. The work leans backend and infra, but nothing is off limits: when the product needs a better UI you build it, and when a connector breaks during a security review you fix it. Claude and Codex are your primary working environment, and you use a fleet of agents to move faster than a team this size has any right to. Agents write much of the code and review PRs, so your real job is the judgment they cannot make: shaping the problem, making architecture, product, and UX calls, hardening enterprise paths, designing connectors, protecting security-sensitive surfaces, and catching generated code that is quietly wrong. Roles are blurred and we ship within hours, and you will learn directly from the founders and from customers. We hire across levels, from strong early-career builders to seasoned engineers, and we set level and pay to match. What matters most is judgment, range, and how fast you ship.

- Ability to ship and iterate without waiting for specs or approvals.
- Strong fundamentals and the ability to learn fast.
- Care about product value and customer needs over technical purity.
- Take infra seriously, with consideration for blast radius, trust boundaries, and code impact.

- Comfort across the stack, or the ability to pick up new languages, protocols, and domains fast.
- Excitement to build with agents and learn from their capabilities and limitations.
- Experience building with AI daily.
