About This Role

We are hiring our first founding engineers to build the core of a deeply horizontal system spanning data ingestion, spatial computation, agent orchestration, and product surfaces. There is a lot to build: each engineer is expected to own outcomes end to end, operate with high agency, and function like a mini-founder within the organization. This is an in-person role in San Francisco, working directly alongside the founder at an early, well-capitalized stage.

What You’ll Own

• Own modules of the geospatial intelligence platform end to end, from architecture decisions through production deployment, without waiting for a playbook.
• Build and iterate on core system components: data ingestion pipelines, spatial computation layers, agent orchestration logic, and output delivery surfaces.
• Ship production code at high velocity, balancing technical depth with product intuition and customer outcomes.
• Identify and close gaps in the system independently, proposing and executing what needs to be built next.
• Collaborate directly with the founder to shape early technical and product direction as the team scales from its first hires.

Requirements

• Experience shipping production systems at established companies.
• Full-stack generalist able to own backend and frontend work.
• High-agency, mini-founder mentality.
• Comfort with demanding, startup-intensity hours.
• Fluency with current AI and software tools.
