Job summary

Ergoly Inc. in Seattle is seeking a hands-on engineer to stabilize the platform and build the building blocks that power the product.

You will own the platform contracts and help ship essential changes with minimal disruption for customers. The role splits into two workstreams — the platform and the factory — and emphasizes autonomy, direct collaboration with the founders, and immediate impact on real client deployments.

Responsibilities

• Stabilize the platform and ship building blocks that let the rest of the team move fast.
• Build the mechanism by which platform changes land, ensuring scale from day one.
• Write the contracts between platform parts to enable future growth.

Job description

The platform is the foundation everything at Ergoly runs on — the services, components, and connections the whole product is built from. You own it, and you build the factory that keeps making it better.

Who we are

Ergoly gives agencies and consultants AI teammates that live in their own tools, learn the craft by watching them work, and get deployed into client businesses under the agency's own name. The product is live, and agencies are running real client work through it today.

The team is small, and this is the ground floor of it. Nothing is someone else's department, there is no layer between building something and shipping it, and what you build reaches real agencies and their clients within days.

The role

Two workstreams, running in parallel from the start.

The platform

The services, components, and connections that power how Ergoly works. Right now it is under-engineered and over-relied upon. You will stabilize what is there and ship what needs to exist — the building blocks that let the rest of the team build fast without breaking things for customers.

The factory

The system by which engineers improve the system. Not just fixing things — building the mechanism through which platform improvements ship, so that everyone who touches the platform makes it better on the way past. It is built from day one, alongside the platform work, until it is how every platform change lands.

The actual problem

You are not just building a platform. You are building the system that builds the platform.

If that sentence makes you lean forward, keep reading.

The platform has no formal contracts between its parts — built to work, not yet built to scale. You write them.

For the right person, that is the most interesting part of the job.

What is in it for you

• Own the platform from day one — the building blocks everything else runs on.
• Pre-seed equity. The ground floor of something that does not exist anywhere else yet.
• Real autonomy, and the responsibility that comes with it. How the foundation gets built is your call to make.
• Work directly with the founders every day, on a problem that is genuinely unsolved.
