About this role

We are looking for a Staff Engineer with 10+ years of professional experience shipping to production to join our early-stage team in San Francisco. We are seeking a high-agency, first-principles thinker who thrives in ambiguity and wants real ownership, ideally someone who aspires to be a founder someday. This person will play a pivotal role in building our core agent infrastructure, shaping our technical strategy, and helping us scale aggressively as we push toward Series A.

What will you be doing?

Design, build, and operate core infrastructure powering our people-data and agent platform, including APIs, LLM-powered workflows, scraping systems, and large-scale knowledge graph architecture.

Architect and maintain production-grade systems capable of handling millions of - API requests, with a strong focus on performance, cost efficiency, and reliability across cloud and Linux server environments.

Own projects end-to-end, from ambiguous problem definition through deployment and iteration, shipping quickly without sacrificing system integrity.

Collaborate directly with the CEO and CTO on technical decisions, roadmap priorities, and foundational architectural choices that will define the company’s long-term direction.

Contribute broadly across the stack and the company, including developer documentation, technical tutorials, internal tooling, and experimental builds that showcase and stress-test our APIs.
