AgentMail gives AI agents real email inboxes. Create, send, receive, and search messages via REST API — built for autonomous agents and agentic workflows. Backed by General Catalyst and Y Combinator.
About the role
Design APIs and abstractions that are intuitive for both humans and AI Agents Build high-performant, low-latency systems with the idea that agents are the end-users in mind
What they're looking for
- You want to solve problems end-to-end: every engineer owns a part of the product and needs to make decisions across the frontend, infrastructure, backend, and UX
- You have a high bar for quality: At a startup, speed is the only advantage we have over big-tech companies. But even more important is to care about your output and obsess about details
- You are a clear thinker and communicator: We have daily standups and weekly syncs in which we expect you to communicate tradeoffs, problems, and blockers directly
- You are highly technical: preferred you have prior experience shipping production software by real users as a software engineer at a tech company or startup. But hustlers are always appreciated

We're coming up with solutions in a problem space where no one in Silicon Valley knows the answer to either: how to build something agents want. If you like owning things 0 -> 1, lets chat.
AgentMail is building an API designed to give inboxes to AI agents and be the sole identity + communication provider. It isn't AI for your email, it's email for your AI.
We’re looking for a founding engineer with strong backend and infra instincts to help build the primitives agents will use to communicate, authenticate, and operate in the real world.
