About Us
Baton AI (getbaton.ai) is building the enterprise automation platform for cross-application workflows. We’re starting by helping solutions engineering and implementation teams automate customer onboarding and product setup – enabling them to deliver value faster and at scale. This is just our first wedge toward a broader vision of enterprise-wide, AI-powered automation.
We're VC-backed, live with customers, and moving fast. If you're excited to build with real users, solve hard technical problems, and shape the future of software, we’d like to chat.
What You’ll Get to Do
- Own core systems – Design and build key parts of our full-stack web application, API infrastructure, and AI-driven automation platform.
- Work on cutting-edge tech – Work on complex technical challenges involving AI agents, prompt engineering, eval, monitoring, API, and browser automation.
- Shape the product – Collaborate with early customers and the founding team to define our technical roadmap and deliver features that create real impact.
- Move fast, learn fast – Prototype, experiment, and ship quickly in a high-trust, low-bureaucracy environment.
What We’re Looking For
- 3 years of full-stack engineering experience and love working with React and Typescript.
- Proficiency in modern web application development – React/NextJS and Node.js. Understanding of Python and Elixir/functional programming is a plus.
- Experience building rich-text editors (think Notion) or excited to take on that challenge.
- Experience (or strong interest) in building AI/LLM-powered apps and workflow automation tools.
- A product-minded engineer who cares about clean code and great UX.
- Problem-solver who thrives on breaking down ambiguity and delivering fast.
- Excited to work in person (~3 days per week) with us in San Francisco.
Why Join Us?
- Founding team impact – Help define our culture, product, and technology from the ground up.
