CC Blockit on any email or Slack thread and it negotiates the times, handles the time zones and sends the invite. Google and Outlook. 30-day free trial. Backed by Sequoia.
About the role
Think of this as a product engineer role — but the product is everything underneath. For a stateful, multiplayer AI agent that takes real actions in the world, infrastructure is the user experience. When a meeting gets scheduled in 800ms instead of 4 seconds, when an email never gets dropped, when our agent recovers gracefully from a flaky third-party API — that's a feature users feel. You'll ship those features.
What they're looking for
- 4+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time on backend or infrastructure
- Product sensibility — you reach for user-facing metrics first, and you can tell the difference between an infra problem that matters and one that doesn't
- Deep with databases — you can read query plans, find the bottleneck, and know when to fix the query vs. fix the schema vs. fix the architecture
- Have run production services and owned the pager — comfortable in an incident, methodical in the postmortem
- Familiar with job queues, async processing, or event-driven systems, and have opinions on when each is the right tool
- Interest in developer tooling and how AI changes the way engineers should work
More about this role
Time is the most valuable resource we have, yet coordinating it remains stuck in the dark ages. At Blockit, we're building the AI that finally fixes this: an autonomous time agent that handles the full complexity of scheduling—timezones, group coordination, in-person logistics—like an executive assistant that never sleeps.
While every LLM application to date has been a one-on-one conversation, Blockit is one of the first multiplayer, stateful AI agents—coordinating between multiple people, maintaining context across conversations, and taking real actions in the world. As more people connect their calendars, our network becomes exponentially more powerful.
This is the foundation of a platform of AI agents with access to the world's time. We're backed by Sequoia, and we're a small, sharp team that moves fast, ships constantly, and holds a high bar. If you want to build something genuinely new, we'd love to talk.
