We’re starting by helping solutions engineering and implementation teams at software companies automate customer onboarding and product setup - enabling them to deliver value faster and at scale.

We’re backed by tier-1 VCs and growing fast. Looking for ambitious builders who move fast, take ownership, and want to help define the future of AI automation.

What We’re Looking For
  • 3+ years of full-stack engineering experience and love working with React and Typescript.

  • Proficiency in modern web application development – React/NextJS and Node.js. Understanding of Python and Elixir/functional programming is a plus.

  • Experience building rich-text editors (think Notion) or excited to take on that challenge.

  • Experience (or strong interest) in building AI/LLM-powered apps and workflow automation tools.

  • A product-minded engineer who cares about clean code and great UX.

  • Problem-solver who thrives on breaking down ambiguity and delivering fast.

  • Excited to work in person with us in San Francisco.
