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.

What You'll Do

  • Build the orchestration engine for running multiple coding agents in parallel and keeping long-running tasks active across sessions.
  • Enable the platform to run on customer infrastructure, bare-metal fleets, cloud providers, and managed compute.
  • Support different coding agents and models, including bring-your-own subscriptions and open-source models.
  • 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.

Base salary is $140,000 to $240,000 annually, plus founding equity. Visa sponsorship details were not provided.
