A modern messaging platform for teams of humans and agents. Backed by Accel and Index.

About the role

We’re looking for founding engineers who are excited by that challenge: building a product from first principles, shaping the future of how humans and AI collaborate, and dogfooding what they build every day. You want to work with colleagues who have high standards and who love building beautiful, performant software

What they're looking for

  • You prefer the dopamine of working on software that will get into hundreds of thousands of users' hands, vs working on enterprise, forward-deployed software
  • 3+ years of full time SWE work
  • A deep interest in the quirks of LLMs and agents, memory systems, tool use, etc
  • Ability to work very fast without cutting corners on quality
