About the company

We’re partnering with a fast growing, engineering led startup building AI powered systems to modernize a complex legacy industry that has historically relied on manual workflows and outdated tooling. In under a year, the company has reached approximately $10M ARR, is already profitable, and is on track to scale to ~$50M ARR in 2026. Their platform is already trusted by top tier startups and technical teams across AI, infrastructure, and developer tooling, helping streamline high stakes and operationally complex processes.

The product sits at the intersection of AI, automation, and real world impact, using LLMs and agentic systems to replace hours or weeks of manual work with intelligent, scalable software. This is a rare opportunity to join early at a company with strong product market fit, real revenue, and meaningful mission driven outcomes.

We are looking for candidates open to working 3-4 days/week in San Francisco or New York City offices for local collaboration given our stage!

Why join us?

  • 401k with 3% company match
  • Medical, dental and vision benefits
  • Annual team offsites in cool places
  • High impact, mission driven work
  • You’ll be building systems that directly affect people’s lives and unlock opportunity for top global talent
  • Proven traction and real scale ($10M ARR, profitable, and growing rapidly with a clear path to 5x revenue in 2026)
  • AI native product from day one
  • LLMs and agentic workflows are deeply embedded into the core product
  • Engineering led culture
  • Small, high caliber team with real ownership over product and technical decisions
  • Zero to one through scale challenges
  • You’ll work on everything from early architecture decisions to scaling systems for significant growth
  • Already integrated into workflows of leading AI and technology companies
  • Rapid iteration, frequent shipping, and direct user feedback loops
