Role: Agent Engineer (Open on Stack--Full Stack like)

Vertical: Start Up

Location: San Francisco, SOMA area

Looking for a high-agency engineer to help build and shape a new generation of AI-powered products. This role blends full-stack engineering with customer-focused product development, ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced startup environments. You’ll work across the stack—primarily with React, TypeScript, and Node—while also helping define architecture, guide product direction, and build agent workflows that interface with real users. It's a great fit for builders who move quickly, think independently, and want to have a lasting impact on how the internet is navigated in an AI-native future.

Responsibilities

What’s an Agent Engineer?

Someone who builds agents, using agents, for a web navigated by agents. Naturally, you’ll be high agency yourself - meaning you have greater influence over the world around you than your peers.

Enough of that word for the moment. You can think of this like a Full Stack Engineer who talks to customers and has a particular focus on building our agent workflows.

You’ll be doing the following:

• Engineering leadership: Craft the architecture and establish technical standards that will set the tone for years to come.
• Full stack coding : It’s no problem if you’re stronger in frontend, backend, devops but ultimately you’ll need to ship features across the stack, balancing speed and technical debt.
• Product vision: Collaborate with customers to build a beautiful, intuitive, valuable product. Have say in the company strategy and product direction.

Qualifications

The stack: - This is not a crucial requirement for the role. It's very simple, and what matters more is a history of building great products.

• React Typescript (Tailwind)
• Supabase
• Railway (node) but mostly serverless

Some really strong indicators are:

• Having worked at a very high growth startup. If they've founded one, it's even better.
• If they've been to a top tier university, that's great.
• If they've evidence of really exceptional ability, that's great.
• Experience is flexible, so it doesn't matter if they're senior or junior, it matters if they're willing to work extremely hard and have prior evidence of being an extreme outlier.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The most important things are that you have exceptional ability, a history of doing hard things, and a bias toward taking responsibility.

What we mean by "extreme outlier":

We're looking for candidates with a track record of performing at a level that significantly exceeds their peers. That might include:

• Founding or co-founding a startup — especially one where you built and shipped products end-to-end.
• Graduating from a top-tier university (e.g. MIT, Stanford, Harvard), particularly with technical or entrepreneurial involvement.
• Participating in elite programs like Y Combinator, Entrepreneur First, Thiel Fellowship, Google Brain Residency, or Recurse Center.
• Building ambitious technical projects solo or in small teams that gained real traction — open source, viral side projects, or full production apps.
• Demonstrating obsessive drive or learning speed — like mastering advanced systems design independently, or becoming the go-to problem solver on a scrappy team.

Signs this might be for you:

• Agentic : You’re someone who consistently changes outcomes through drive, resourcefulness, and execution.
• Founder mindset: You’ve built things from scratch—whether as a founder, early engineer, or solo hacker. You’re not just comfortable with chaos, you thrive in it.
• Technical mastery: Languages change, but fundamentals don't. You’re a great engineer who ships fast, leverages AI in your workflows, and cares deeply about reliability and impact.
• Rapid learner: We’re looking for people who can give and receive feedback openly. This should be the steepest and most exciting learning curve of your career.
• Enjoyment: We want this to be the most fun and meaningful chapter of your professional life. If you love solving real problems with smart people, you'll fit right in.

You likely won’t like it here if:

• You want easy work. What we’re doing is hard. It requires intensity, deep thinking, and rapid iteration. A+ performance is celebrated. Anything less doesn’t work here.
• You don’t care about delivering value fast. We prioritize practical impact over theoretical elegance. Shortcuts, simplifications, and real feedback loops are core to our culture.
