The team

Meet the founding team

Platform Engineer

Open role

The core developer on the platform itself — build the features behind the eight building blocks, and the pipeline that turns a described workflow into something that actually runs.

Forward Deployed Engineer

Open role

Embed with the first customers, turn their recurring work into workflows that actually run, and bring every gap you hit straight back into the product.

Cloud Platform Engineer

Open role

Designs, automates, and manages secure, scalable deployments of our AI platform across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.

Founding Engineer

Open role

Build a real product on top of the platform — one people love enough to pay for — and operate it as a business, not a demo.

Building the thing we sell

Specialized AI agents produce the implementation work; a human sets direction, reviews every change, and owns every release. If that operating model is the one you want to work inside, we should talk.
