ABOUT ORPEX
The next generation of service companies won't scale through headcount. They'll be built by tiny teams orchestrating AI workforces with 1000x the output. Orpex is building the infrastructure they run on: agentic workforce, company brain, human trust layer, one cockpit to run the business.
We just raised an oversubscribed 2.7M angel round in 7 days and are moving at rapid speed.
EUROPE → SAN FRANCISCO
You're one of the best engineers in Europe and you know your ceiling is in San Francisco. You just never had the right reason to go.
This is the reason. Move with us to SF. We handle the visa, pay for the move, and your salary switches to SF level the day you land.
You'll join as a Founding Engineer, Member of Technical Staff or Applied AI Engineer, depending on what you're best at. In all three you build the whole platform. There's no legacy code and no roadmap handed to you. You decide what the right thing to build is, build it, and hear about it directly when it's wrong. You'll ship to production in your first week.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Wants SF, seriously. Relocation latest in January 2027 is the deal, not an option. If you're not sure, this isn't the posting for you.
Proven builder. You've shipped something real to real users. It ran, it broke, you fixed it. We care about that far more than your stack.
Product engineer, not software developer. Nobody hands you a ticket. You talk to users, define the outcome, ship it.
AI-native. You write code with AI at a pace that would have looked unreasonable two years ago.
Intensity. You force things into existence. Bonus if you've founded something or joined a startup early.
YOUR FIRST MONTH
Ship from day one. Production code in week one, from Vienna.
Own it end-to-end. Spec, build, deploy, talk to the user, iterate.
Do what needs doing. Infra, UI, customer calls, hiring the next engineer.
WE OFFER
Competitive salary in Europe + Switch the day you land in SF + meaningful early equity
Visa fully sponsored fully paid
Europe now, San Francisco from January 2027. In person, both places.

If you want to build something truly generational, are ready to make it your life's mission, and want to do it in San Francisco: this is for you!

What We Do
Orpex provides an AI operating system for AI-native service businesses. Users describe the company they want to build, and Orpex assembles an AI-agent workforce, operating playbooks, and a shared company “brain” to run it. Its agents can support recruiting, website development, marketing, PR, lead generation, and back-office work, while founders retain oversight and approve key actions. The platform aims to help small teams operate companies with less reliance on headcount.
