More about this role

Whirl AI helps Enterprise IT organizations deliver business change faster. Our platform gives enterprise teams AI agents grounded in a deep, continuously updated understanding of how their systems actually work - compressing discovery and documentation from weeks to hours without sacrificing quality or control. We are early-stage, moving fast, and building the team that will define how Enterprise IT operates in the AI era.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to own the engineering behind our AI agents and the data infrastructure that powers them. You are a backend-leaning generalist who moves fast, makes pragmatic decisions, and takes pride in shipping things that work. You will be an early team member with real influence over how we build and who we become.

We value in-person collaboration along with flexibility – our team works hybrid from the FiDi in San Francisco, with in-office days Tuesday - Thursday.
