About the Company
This stealth mode startup is the latest AI native venture incubated by one of the most successful VC firms in Silicon Valley. The team is solving a massive whitespace in enterprise productivity by building a system that transforms internal email into a real-time intelligence and collaboration layer for large organizations. Think: turning asynchronous communication into structured, queryable workflows, without asking employees to change behavior.

Backed by one of the top enterprise software VCs and built by a proven founding team with a track record of unicorn outcomes, this company is positioned to be a breakout player in the AI x enterprise SaaS space. The engineering culture is lean, hands on, and driven by deep technical rigor. The product vision is bold: map and optimize organizational decisions at scale through AI.

What You’ll Do

  • Architect and implement the backend infrastructure powering a complex AI-driven platform ingesting and analyzing enterprise email data.

  • Design distributed systems that scale with millions of messages per day across global orgs.

  • Build secure, enterprise grade systems from day one (compliance, encryption, on-prem options, etc.).

  • Work alongside some of the sharpest product and technical operators in Silicon Valley.

  • Play a founding role in a new company being spun out - this is not just a job, it’s a legacy build.

Who You Are

  • 10+ years in software engineering, building infrastructure for enterprise SaaS or B2B platforms.

  • Comfortable working as a hands-on IC; you're not a manager who's been away from the code.

  • Background includes time at high-caliber companies (think: Databricks, Scale AI, Stripe, Palantir, or top trading firms).

  • You’ve built systems that run in secure, high-availability environments - and you understand the bar for selling to Fortune 500 customers.

  • Deep fundamentals in backend engineering and distributed systems. Bonus for Python or TypeScript experience.

  • A strong CS degree from a top university or equivalent real-world experience - bootcamp-only candidates won’t be a fit here.

What You’ll Get

  • Massive technical ownership on a zero-to-one product build with direct access to visionary product leaders.

  • High-impact equity with a real path to co-founder-level upside.

  • A front-row seat to what could be the next foundational AI company in the enterprise space.

  • True startup energy - fast pace, tight team, big ambition.

Not a Fit If You...

  • Haven’t shipped real infrastructure in the last year.

  • Have hopped around without building anything meaningful (short stints, no progression).

  • Only worked on consumer tools or simple CRUD apps.

  • Need remote work - this is an in person role only.

Skills Required

  • 10+ years in software engineering building infrastructure for enterprise SaaS or B2B platforms.
  • Hands-on individual contributor actively writing production code.
  • Background at high-caliber companies (e.g., Databricks, Scale AI, Stripe, Palantir, top trading firms).
  • Experience building secure, high-availability systems and understanding Fortune 500 security/compliance requirements.
  • Deep fundamentals in backend engineering and distributed systems.
  • Experience with Python or TypeScript.
  • Strong CS degree from a top university or equivalent real-world experience; bootcamp-only candidates not a fit.
  • Has shipped real infrastructure in the last year.
  • Willing and able to work in person (role is in-person only).
