AI agents you can rely on. Backed by Y Combinator and Felicis.

About the role

Sauna's agent runtime has to keep track of work when a tool fails or new code ships mid-task. One session might start with a message, check Calendar, draft a Slack reply, and update Linear after the first response. A tool call can time out after the action succeeds; the runtime needs to know what happened before retrying. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience
  • US citizen/visa only
  • Full-time Engineering role
More about this role

This is a full-time, in-person role based in San Francisco (Presidio). We work from the office 5 days a week.

You must be based in the Bay Area or willing to relocate before starting.

We require US work authorisation, but are open to O-1 or J-1 visa sponsorship for exceptional candidates.

Every tool you use was built as an island, so you became the glue between them: a name from Gmail into the CRM, a time from the CRM into Calendly, a note from Calendly into a doc. AI showed up and mostly became an eleventh window to paste into.

Sauna is a hybrid of AI and software standing on one shared brain. It holds your context and hands you real software built on top of it, so an ordinary Calendly becomes one that writes the invite itself and knows which of your busy hours bend, and for whom. Software for the path you repeat, AI for the edge that never repeats.

Wordware is the team behind it, 15 people backed by Spark Capital, Felicis, and Y Combinator with a $30M seed, the largest in YC's history. We build from an office in the Presidio, fifty metres from Crissy Field beach, and we work absurdly hard because we can see and feel the outcome every day.
