Job description

$150K–$200K + 0.10–0.30% equity YC agent workflows travel-heavy

New York, NY (on-site) · Posted August 11, 2026

Why it's interesting

YC agent-workflow startup wants a full-stack FDE ($150K–$200K + up to 0.3%) who travels to client sites and writes the code no one's written before; finance/PE exposure preferred — the 'technical tip of the spear' framing in its purest form.

The role

Embed with VectorShift's most critical customers to build agents, data pipelines, and automations on its platform; travel on-site to navigate customer infra, security, and messy data to get the product running live. 1–5 yrs, Python + TypeScript, LLM/agent experience; fintech/PE exposure a plus.
