The full description
We are looking for a Founding Engineer with 3-5 years of experience to join a small, high-impact team building AI agents that automate administrative workflows for mission-critical military units. You'll work side-by-side with the founders at a 7-person company that's already deployed with multiple DoD customers and backed by $2.5M+ from investors who were early in Palantir and Hermeus. This is a true founding role with significant equity, full ownership of the product development lifecycle, and a direct line to the customers you're building for. If you thrive in early-stage environments, ship fast, and want your work to matter — this is it.
What will you be doing?
- Owning end-to-end full stack development of the core platform — building out the knowledge graph, agent workflows, and customer-facing features in TypeScript
- Supporting customer launches by iterating directly on feedback from Armed Forces, translating mission needs into production code
- Maturing the AI orchestration platform — building tools for customers to configure their own agents and workflows
- Traveling to military bases (~1x/month, mostly local to SF) to embed with users and deeply understand operational problems
- Shaping product direction with autonomy — dissecting customer feedback, prioritizing features, and driving business impact as a product-minded engineer
