About this role

We are looking for a Founding Engineer with 2+ years of experience to join as one of the first engineers at Quill, an AI platform for data reliability on systems of record.

What will you be doing?

Building the core platform from scratch with full ownership over architecture and product decisions

Interfacing directly with customers to understand their problems, gather feedback, and design solutions

Shipping features end-to-end (backend-heavy with some frontend) that non-technical users can actually use

Using AI-native development tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) extensively to write production code

Helping define the product roadmap and engineering culture as one of the first hires
