The Opportunity

Our Client is looking for a Founding Member of Technical Staff with a background in systems engineering (esp. Rust).

Why not engineer? Were not going to make a distinction between engineers and researchers to encourage people to have cross-functional scope and impact. Our CTO has a PhD in reinforcement learning but also writes infrastructure code in Rust.

Today we particularly need help building delightful interfaces, but expect everyone to contribute to the entire project over time. The vast majority of your work will be open source. You'll have an opportunity to continue to master your current skills with the flexibility to learn new ones from scratch.

We Are Looking For

Strong technical background - Youve tackled hard technical problems. You're comfortable driving large projects from inception to deployment (to start, Company's observability dashboard).

MUST HAVE a minimum of 5 years of working experience

Passionate about your craft & design - You're excited about the idea of re-thinking developer tooling from first principles to build interfaces and workflows that don't just work but also delight.

Background in front-end SWE - We've started building POCs using Remix and Tailwind, but ultimately were not experts in this area (for now!). You'll complement the team with a strong background and technical leadership (esp. React).

Hungry for personal growth - There are no speed limits. You're excited about learning and contributing across the stack.

In-person in NYC - We work in-person five days a week in NYC. We work hard and obsess about the craft but maintain and encourage a healthy lifestyle with a long-term mindset.

Benefits Package

Competitive compensation - We believe that great talent deserves great compensation (salary, equity, benefits), even at an early-stage startup.

Open-source contributions - The vast majority of your work will be open-source and public.

Learning and growth opportunities - You'll join with a background in back-end / systems but will have the opportunity (& be encouraged) to expand your skill set way beyond that (curious about ML?).

Small, technical, in-person team - You'll work alongside a 100% technical team and help shape our vision, culture, and engineering practices.

Best-in-class investors - Were lucky to be backed by leading funds like FirstMark (backed ClickHouse), Bessemer (backed Anthropic), Bedrock (backed OpenAI), and many angels. We have years of runway and a long-term mindset.
