About the Company
Agora is the App Store for AI.
As hundreds of thousands of AI agents emerge across every vertical, the software discovery and sales landscape is becoming increasingly chaotic. Agora cuts through that noise—we help individuals and enterprises discover the best AI agents for their needs, all powered by deep research, social proof, and quantitative evaluations.
Agora has raised $3.6M in seed funding from world-class investors like Wing VC.
About the Role
As a backend engineer, you'll help build the core infrastructure and backend systems powering Agora's product. Our vision is to make Agora the go-to app store for software in the agentic future. We're tackling a broad range of problems, from building containerized infrastructure to deploy and evaluate AI agents to designing scalable APIs that handle complex social dynamics at scale. This will involve difficult technical challenges such as container-isolated agent execution environments, real-time ML inference and data processing pipelines, and high-performance database architectures that scale.
This is a rare opportunity to join a well-funded startup at the earliest stage, where your contributions will directly shape how the world discovers and adopts AI agents. We are in-person in SF and bring a fast-paced, ambitious, and creative culture. We offer competitive compensation, equity, and the kind of collaborative environment where you can do your best work. If you're interested in spearheading the future of AI distribution and adoption, we would love to chat.
