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.
