## Description

This is a founding-team engineering opportunity at an early-stage agentic integration platform built for the real economy. Specialized AI agents gather requirements in plain English, generate integration code, test it, deploy it, and keep it running in production - autonomously. As one of the first engineers, you'll own core systems end-to-end alongside the founders and set the engineering foundation that every future hire builds upon.

This is not a chatbot or a thin LLM wrapper. The agents do actual work with actual consequences in production: multi-agent orchestration, a durable execution runtime (think mini-Vercel for integrations), self-healing systems, and a knowledge base that gets smarter with every integration shipped., * Own core systems end-to-end - agent platform, cloud infrastructure, and the integrations runtime, from conception through production.

 * Set the engineering patterns - define the architecture, standards, and best practices that every future engineer inherits.
 * Ship constantly - work directly alongside the founders, deploying to production frequently and iterating fast.
 * Shape the entire system - your decisions in year one will define how the platform scales technically and organizationally.
