About the Role

This is the first engineering hire at a pre-seed-funded startup building the infrastructure layer for AI-native service businesses. You will work directly with the solo founder to turn a working, revenue-generating product into agentic infrastructure capable of serving a million users. This role carries a clear path to a CTO seat as the engineering organisation grows around you.

What You'll Do

  • Rebuild a working product into scalable agentic infrastructure that can hold real production load.

  • Design and own the agent runtime: orchestration, memory, verification, and the systems that make an AI workforce trustworthy and auditable.

  • Own work end to end across backend, infrastructure, frontend, and agent systems.

  • Set the technical architecture, the engineering bar, and the way the team builds from day one.

  • Ship to real business customers on a weekly cadence.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 2 years shipping production software, or an equivalent track record as a founder or solo builder. Exceptional earlier-career engineers are explicitly in scope.

  • Hands-on experience building and runni
