We're building the control plane for AI agents in teams and companies.

As a Founding Engineer focused on Product & User Interface Systems, you will design and build the user-facing layer of that control plane — the web applications, workflows, and interfaces that make powerful agent infrastructure usable by real teams.

This is not a “frontend-only” role. You will work across the stack: distributed cloud-based systems, Kubernetes-based services, and modern web applications. You’ll collaborate deeply with product and design to turn complex infrastructure into intuitive, high-leverage user experiences.

You’ll also help define a new interface paradigm: agents as an interactive modality — not just chat, but structured, controllable, and production-grade workflows.

If you care about product quality, system coherence, and shaping how humans interact with autonomous systems — we want to talk.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

You will build and evolve the user-facing layer of our platform:

WEB APPLICATION & PRODUCT EXPERIENCE

- Design and implement React + TypeScript web applications

- Build high-performance, stateful interfaces for managing agents

- Develop dashboards, policy configuration UIs, audit views, and workflow builders

- Create systems that make complex agent behavior understandable and controllable


FULL-STACK ENGINEERING

- Build backend services supporting the UI

- Design APIs for agent control, policy configuration, and observability

- Work within a Kubernetes-native, cloud-based distributed system

- Collaborate on schema design, data modeling, and service boundaries


AGENT-NATIVE INTERFACES

- Explore agents as a new user interface modality

- Design structured, interactive agent workflows beyond simple chat

- Combine UI controls with agent reasoning

- Experiment with hybrid patterns: visual + conversational + automated systems


CLI & FUTURE INTERFACES

- Contribute to a TypeScript- or Python-based CLI

- Design consistent interaction patterns across web and CLI

- Lay groundwork for potential future mobile interfaces


PRODUCT & DESIGN COLLABORATION

- Work closely with product and design to translate concepts into shipped software

- Participate in usability thinking and iterative refinement

- Ship quickly, iterate based on feedback, and improve continuously


WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

- Experience building production-grade web applications in React + TypeScript

- Comfort working across the full-stack of distributed systems

- Strong API design instincts

- Experience shipping SaaS products used by technical teams

- Ability to translate complex backend systems into usable interfaces

- Strong product intuition and UX sensibility

BONUS

- Experience building developer tools or control-plane software

- Experience designing workflow builders or configuration-heavy interfaces

- Experience with real-time systems or streaming UIs

- Experience building CLIs

- Familiarity with LLM-powered products or agent systems


WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE UNIQUE

- You’ll help define how teams interact with autonomous agents.

- You’ll build interfaces for infrastructure-level systems.

- You’ll operate at the intersection of product design, distributed systems, and AI.

- You’ll have ownership from concept to production.


This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role. You’ll influence product direction and user experience at the foundational stage of the company.

WHO THRIVES HERE

- Engineers who care about product polish and system clarity.

- Builders who like working across frontend and backend.

- People comfortable turning complexity into usable abstractions.

- Those excited about inventing new human–AI interaction models.
