Sycamore Forge turns hard business processes into working software. Sycamore Guard governs every AI system from request to runtime. Backed by Lightspeed.
About the role
The simplest way to describe this role: you are the engineer in the customer room and the product engineer who ships what the room needs. You will map how an important workflow works today, find where an agent can create a measurable outcome, and build the application end to end, from the user experience and data model through agent tools, integrations, permissions, approval points, and the operational controls needed to run safely. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 2-12 years of software engineering experience. We will make exceptions for exceptional people in either direction
- Strong software fundamentals across product design, APIs, data modeling, distributed systems, testing, and production debugging
- Evidence that you personally shipped and operated meaningful software, rather than stopping at prototypes or delegating the production work
- Product judgment. You can find the real problem behind a request, choose a useful first version, and decide what should remain customer-specific versus become reusable
- Comfort moving across user interfaces, backend services, data, agent behavior, integrations, and deployment when the outcome requires it
- A security-minded approach to enterprise data, permissions, credentials, approvals, and auditability
More about this role
Sycamore is building the trusted agent operating system for the enterprise. Our platform helps companies build, deploy, and orchestrate agentic apps that take on real operational work, with the security and control large organizations need.

You own the full loop: discovery, implementation, realistic testing, deployment, production debugging, adoption, and iteration. Customer-specific product work belongs with you, and when the same runtime, connector, memory, or deployment need appears repeatedly, you work with Core AI or Infrastructure to turn it into a reusable capability...
