What you'll do
  • Build AI agent platform to serve risk and compliance in trillion dollar financial industry (don't worry if you don't know anything about finance)
  • Build mission critical features for Fortune 500 customers
  • Operate as one team: own problems end-to-end, review each other’s code, and move quickly.

What you won’t do
  • Bureaucracy. No 3-month approvals to launch a feature.
  • Politics. No fighting other teams for headcount or scope.
  • Build for the void. We ship what customers actually need.

  • You want to learn how to build a startup from the inside.
  • You’re comfortable with: Python, Cursor, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), and agent frameworks.
  • People describe you as obsessed, curious, and resourceful.

This role isn’t for you if
  • You’re looking to rest & vest.
  • You can’t commit to intense weeks (we sometimes run 6-day sprints).
  • You’re not among the top 5% builders in your network.
  • You can’t be in the office 3 days/week (hybrid in SF Bay Area).

Must Requirements
  • 1-4 years of full-stack software development experience.
  • If you have less than 2 years of experience, GPA >= 3.7
  • Communicative

Perks & benefits
  • Epic offsites (e.g., Napa Valley Wine Train, speed sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge).
  • Daily lunch stipend—order what you actually want.
  • Medical, dental, vision, and standard insurance.
  • Hybrid work: in-office collaboration + focused WFH days.
