Job description

$180,000 – $250,000 per year

Hiring Engineers for VC-backed startups (YC, a16z, Bessemer Venture Partners)

Seattle | Onsite @ AWS

$180‑250k base DOE & Equity

Every company wants AI agents. Almost none can make them do anything. That’s the gap this company occupies.

What This Company Does:
  • The problem: AI agents are useless without integrations. Connecting agents to real‑world tools such as Gmail, Slack, Salesforce, GitHub, or Databricks is slow, expensive, and painful to build in‑house.
  • The solution: This company provides the infrastructure layer for AI agents, a single platform that gives agents access to thousands of tools, enabling them to take real actions, not just generate text.

Think of it as the nervous system for AI.

The Traction (This Is Real)
  • 150,000+ developers actively using the platform
  • 200+ companies live in production
  • $37M raised (Seed + Series A) from top‑tier investors
  • Open‑source, loved by developers, SOC 2 Type II compliant
  • Featured in major AI and tech publications
What You’ll Do:
  • Deploy & Build: Lead implementations and MVP builds for top AI teams
  • Own Customer Success: Work directly with devs at unicorns and F500s to unlock value
  • Iterate Fast: Ship code, tune LLMs, build voice bots, push transcribers — and make agents smarter
  • Bridge Gaps: Manage real‑time API integrations and remove friction from agent workflows
  • Drive the Roadmap: Relay insights from the field back to product and engineering
Why Join?
  • Work onsite at AWS alongside one of our biggest enterprise deployments
  • Shape how 1000s of AI teams build real‑world automation
What We’re Looking For:
  • Real engineering experience (React + full‑stack chops a must)
  • Strong communicator who thrives with customers
  • Excited by early‑stage pace and ambiguity
  • Experience with AI/ML, LLMs, or dev tools is a huge plus
