It all started when engineer Fred Luddy wrote code that automated a tedious task for his coworker, Phyllis. She cried tears of joy. Backed by Greylock and Sequoia.

About the role

You own the technical foundation the team ships on. You design and build the hardest platform problems — generality, scalability, extensibility — while keeping developer experience as the measure. You think in systems. You ship. You bring others along. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 12+ years designing, building, operating production systems, significant platform or infrastructure team experience
  • Experience leading design and multi-year operation of developer platforms that reached 100+ external teams, can point to instances where the platform unlocked new use cases or accelerated velocity by order of magnitude
  • Deep expertise in distributed systems: reliability, API design, performance, fault tolerance, observability
  • Strong systems engineer with fluency in production microservices environments at scale
  • Built general-purpose platforms other engineers depend on, understand what makes an abstraction good vs. leaky
  • End-to-end ownership: you design, code, debug in production, iterate based on real feedback — not handing off at the design doc

We own the flywheel: more builders → more integrations shipped → better assistant → more demand. We build scalable infrastructure first, then the products on top of it. Platform engineering discipline meets developer-facing product thinking.

  • Design and build core developer platforms: SDKs, APIs, runtime abstractions, tooling infrastructure, developer-facing services
  • Own end-to-end delivery of products that increase developer productivity: faster time-to-market, higher-quality artifacts, lower friction
  • Define platform primitives other products build on — bias toward generality, reliability, clean abstractions
  • Drive measurable supply metrics: developer activation, integration velocity, artifact quality, ecosystem breadth
  • Lead technical...
