What you'll work on
The surface area is wide. You'll touch some mix of:
- Multi-agent systems that plan, execute, and learn from websites and growth channels in production — orchestration, memory, evals, and everything it takes to keep them reliable.
- The infrastructure that lets those agents make changes to live sites safely at scale — previews, diffs, rollbacks, performance guardrails.
- The primitives and interfaces customers use to direct the agents themselves.
- The feedback loops that make the product get smarter about a customer's business the longer it runs.
About
We care much more about what you've actually built than where you've worked, but some signal that tends to line up well:
- You've built something from 0 to 1 and thrive in ambiguity.
- You're comfortable going deep on any part of the stack — frontend, backend, infra, or ML/agent systems — and have strong taste in at least one.
- You've worked with LLMs in production, or you're hungry to.
- You make good decisions fast with incomplete information, and you're honest when something isn't working.
- You want to work in person in San Francisco, most days, with a small team that moves quickly.
