About the Role

Join an early engineering team building a cloud-first platform for orchestrating coding agents. You will work alongside the founders to help engineering teams run persistent, shareable agent tasks across a range of infrastructure and interfaces.

  • Develop desktop, web, and mobile interfaces, along with integrations for team communication and project management tools.

  • Build team capabilities for shared environments, secrets, skills, MCP servers, spend controls, and usage visibility.

  • Work with early customers to understand their needs and incorporate feedback into the product.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience with developer tools or coding-agent orchestration.

  • Daily hands-on use of current coding-agent tools, including experience running several agents in parallel.

  • A strong background building or operating cloud and compute infrastructure across varied environments.

  • About two years of software engineering experience; new graduates are welcome.

  • Open-source contributions to coding agents or developer tools are a plus.
