Software engineer

Description

Software engineering is being fundamentally transformed by AI, and we're building the tools to lead that shift. The company is creating the engineering productivity supertools that will define how the best teams build software in the AI era.We as strongly believe that we can provide developers with super powers to build faster and better by solving the challenges that they face everyday.

We believe the future of software development isn't engineers replaced by AI—it's engineers supercharged by it. Small teams will ship what once required hundreds of people. Complex workflows that took days will complete in minutes. We're building that future.

We are a team of ex-Googlers with background building engineering teams at several fast-growing silicon valley startups.

Our platform already powers workflow automation at Slack, Figma, DoorDash, Square and other industry leaders. Square. MergeQueue eliminates merge conflicts and broken builds. FlexReview intelligently routes code reviews. And Runbooks—our newest product—is a collaborative AI agent platform that lets engineering teams automate complex workflows through natural language specs and shared context.

About the role

We are looking for an early fullstack engineer to join our nimble team and build the product alongside the founders in SF. This person will be an extension of us, the founders, and have the same voice at the table. We think of early engineers as having the ethos of being a founder themselves.

This role has a twist. Most of your time is spent building—shipping features, prototypes and full products in our codebase. But a meaningful slice of it, roughly a week or two a month, is spent forward deployed: embedded with a customer's engineering team, getting our products working inside their environment and watching real engineers use what you built.

Our customers run monorepos with thousands of engineers, custom CI, decade-old build systems and merge processes nobody fully understands. Making the company work there isn't a config file—it's engineering. And it's the fastest feedback loop we have. The point of the split isn't to hand you two jobs; it's that the same person who sees the problem in the field gets to fix it in the product on Monday.

An ideal candidate has a unique mix of software expertise, system design, and proficiency in HCI—plus the willingness to sit in a customer's office and debug their build system.

Responsibilities

• Building (most of your time)
• Build prototypes all the way to final products. Solve complex issues for our users.
• Collaborate with our founders to gather requirements through detailed technical discussions and brainstorming sessions.
• Explore new product development areas driven by strategic understanding of the user landscape.
• Take ownership and drive initiatives for segments within the product.
• Forward deployed (about a week or two a month)
• Embed with enterprise customers to deploy, integrate and debug the company in their environment—SaaS, on-prem and Kubernetes, GitHub and GitLab, monorepos and custom CI.
• Work directly with their platform, infra and DevEx teams to understand their workflows better than they've articulated them.
• Build the integrations, adapters and scripts that unblock a rollout—then bring the ones that generalize back into the product.
• Turn what you see in the field into roadmap input, with evidence. Ensure customer needs are supported by the broader engineering team through effective prioritization.
• We’re looking for someone who has:
• Shipped full-stack products before—whether in your day job or projects outside of work.
• Experience working in low-structure environments, comfortable working with unknowns.
• Passion for building engineering tools, excited about solving problems for engineers.
• Strong communication skills. You can explain a subtle failure mode to a staff engineer and its business impact to a VP in the same meeting.
• Genuine interest in the customer-facing half of this. You don't have to have done it before, but you should want to—being in the room energizes you rather than draining you.
• Willingness to travel occasionally to customer sites.
• Previous experience building internal engineering tools, or working inside a large monorepo, is a plus.
• Why you should join us
• Have an impact from day 1. You will be working very closely with the founders every day.
• Enterprise customers who actively engage on product direction—and you'll be in the room with them, not reading a summary of the call.
• Solve your own problems. As an engineer, you get to fix the workflows that frustrated you at your last job.
• Own the product—drive the product vision, participate in building the early team, and work closely with the users.
