The full description

We are looking for a Core Engineer with 3+ years of experience to own the development of Honcho, our open-source continual learning infrastructure for AI memory and identity modeling.

You're a product-minded, high-agency engineer who thrives in ambiguity and can make autonomous decisions about what to build next.

You'll work directly with the CTO in a flat, fast-moving team.

What you will do:

- Own core feature development on Honcho's open-source codebase - the memory and identity layer for agentic systems

- Build and maintain integrations and plugins with agent harnesses (Claude Code, Hermes, OpenClaw, Codex) and connectors (Granola, email, etc.)

- Coordinate with the open-source community - reviewing PRs, responding to issues, and treating contributors as an extension of the team
