About Apten

Omnichannel AI agents that engage leads across SMS, voice, and email. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

Apten is an omni-channel AI agent that automates sales and marketing conversations with millions of leads across SMS, voice, and email. Apten communicates exactly like a human — dynamically switching between channels, personalizing every follow-up, and proactively using tools (CRMs, schedulers, lead systems) in-conversation.

What they're looking for

  • Experience building and shipping production software (or equivalent skill) - personal projects are OK
  • Experience with TypeScript , React , and AWS (Lambda, ECS, DynamoDB, SQS, CDK, etc.)
  • Strong product sense — able to make pragmatic tradeoffs, prioritize for impact, and ship fast
  • Comfortable working across the stack (frontend → backend → infra)
  • Previous startup or early-stage experience a plus
