Westgate Supply is an ai-native industrial distributor. Backed by General Catalyst and Y Combinator.
About the role
This is a Founding Software Engineer role for Westgate Supply. You’ll build the core agent infrastructure that runs our business: RFQ in, vendor sourcing, pricing, quote out, order, fulfillment. Today a lot of that is humans on the phone. Your job is to turn it into a machine that scales to $100B. You’ll ship fast, own what you ship, and work side by side with ops and sales, who are your users and your harshest critics. You’ll be in person in San Francisco, building from scratch. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Strong engineer who has shipped production systems end to end and owns outcomes, not tickets
- Experience building with LLMs and agents: tool use, orchestration, evals, and failure handling in the real world
- Systems thinking. You care about latency, concurrency, state, and reliability, and you think in terms of throughput
- Obsessively detail-oriented. Messy real-world data doesn’t scare you, you want to clean it
- Fast. You ship in days, not quarters, and you’re comfortable making calls with incomplete information
- Calm under pressure when something breaks and a customer’s job is on the line
More about this role
Westgate Supply is an AI-native industrial distributor. Our agents sell the pipes, valves, and fittings that go into American data centers, fabs and power plants.
We’re rebuilding the industrial distribution industry from the ground up, and we’re looking for a software engineer who gets things done and doesn’t take “I’ll get back to you” for an answer. If you’re willing to work harder than you ever have before, want to work in person, and thrive in an always-on environment, this is a ground-floor opportunity to help build what we believe will be a $100B+ company.
We’re backed by tier 1 investors, and don’t care about titles or traditional career paths. We care about results, ownership, and hunger.
Think high-frequency trading, but for physical goods. Every RFQ that hits our inbox is a market signal. The company that reads it, sources it, prices it, and quotes it fastest wins. We’re building the agent infrastructure that does this at machine speed, across thousands of vendors and parts, with humans only where they add real value.
