## About the Role

We are seeking highly autonomous engineers excited about owning the design and implementation of end-to-end workflows for a complex, high-stakes industry and playing a foundational role in the formation of the company., * 4+ years professional backend/full-stack engineering experience. Working on large-scale open-source projects works too. You've played significant roles in either crafting AI products, building processing pipelines, or systemic integration of external systems.

 * Bachelor's degree in CS or equivalent
 * Early-stage startup experience (or other similar unstructured, fast-paced environment)
 * Live in or willing to relocate to the Bay Area to work full-time in our SF office, * Experience with web scraping, email scraping, browser automation - in general just getting data creatively out of hard-to-reach places
 * TypeScript/JavaScript experience in a professional or large-scale OSS setting. If you have a comprehensive side project you think is equivalent, send it our way! Clear, concise, and extensible code is important to us and collaborating with others is often a forcing function to that end.
 * Experience integrating with low tech industries, or other time spent integrating with poorly documented, antiquated APIs (and sometimes even a lack thereof).

## Description

* Hard backend/automation engineering problems on day 1. Backend is all we do, and the projects you'll work on will be challenging and interesting.
 * Above-market cash and equity
 * We've raised funding from great investors including top fintech funds, ex-Plaid folks, and insurance industry insiders., * You'll work closely with the team and early customers to build a world-class agentic platform.
 * You'll solve hard technical problems from scratch, owning the solution through the entire development lifecycle.
 * You'll help define the tech stack/architecture for an evolving product - we're technology agnostic and focus using the right tool for the job.
 * You'll contribute to the creation of the team culture, as well as internal tooling and processes.
