- Builders who like working across frontend and backend.
- People comfortable turning complexity into usable abstractions.
- Those excited about inventing new human-AI interaction models.
Benefits
Additional Information
We're building the control plane for AI agents in teams and companies. As a Founding Engineer focused on Product & User Interface Systems, you will design and build the user-facing layer of that control plane - the web applications, workflows, and interfaces that make powerful agent infrastructure usable by real teams. This is not a "frontend-only" role. You will work across the stack: distributed cloud-based systems, Kubernetes-based services, and modern web applications. You'll collaborate deeply with product and design to turn complex infrastructure into intuitive, high-leverage user experiences. You'll also help define a new interface paradigm: agents as an interactive modality - not just chat, but structured, controllable, and production-grade workflows. If you care about product quality, system coherence, and shaping how humans interact with autonomous systems - we want to talk.
