About this role
We are looking for a Founding Product Engineer with 0-7 years of experience to define what using AgentMail feels like for the developers building the most ambitious AI agents. You are a high-agency, full-stack builder with strong product and design instincts who has owned projects from 0 to 1 in a startup environment. AgentMail (YC S25) is rebuilding email for AI, has already processed hundreds of millions of emails, and needs builders who can turn ambiguous customer problems into products developers love. You will work directly with the founders and help shape the product engineering culture from day one.
What will you be doing?
- Building products end-to-end across polished frontend experiences, APIs, backend services, data models, and infrastructure
- Talking directly to developers, digging into support conversations and usage data to understand where they get stuck
- Turning vague customer problems into shipped products, deciding what to build, not just how to build it
- Prototyping quickly and shaping the developer experience from sign-up to production
- Helping define AgentMail's product engineering culture and design standards as one of the earliest engineers
