Summary Generated by Built In

Want to build the future faster than most people think reasonable? We need engineers to help us transform how people interact with the web.

We’re a fast growing, self-funded SaaS platform with 4.8★ customer love and a 4.9★ team score. Help us build the next generation of our website optimization platform.

What you’ll build
  • AI agents that orchestrate website creation and optimization

  • Human-simulator bots that browse, click, and get frustrated, like real people

  • Planet-scale distributed services running on a Kubernetes fleet

How we work
  • Core stack: TypeScript/Node, AWS, Kubernetes, Clickhouse, MySQL, Redis, Playwright

  • AI tooling: Cursor, Codex, MCP, LLMs, agentic workflows

  • Culture: ship often, own the outcome, debate ideas not egos, delete code that no longer serves us

You’ll thrive here if you…
  • Have 3+ years building distributed backends in TypeScript / JavaScript

  • Already work with agents, vector databases, context engineering

  • Like small teams, fast decisions and deleting code as much as writing it

You will not love it here if you…
  • Need a detailed spec before touching the keyboard

  • Avoid honest feedback, in any direction

  • Prefer 10x planning to 1x shipping

Location and lifestyle
  • Hybrid in downtown Austin, 3 days a week in our dog friendly office in the historic Littlefield Building (106 E 6th St, 6th and Congress) with 24/7 parking

  • Walk out to some of the city’s best tacos, coffee and live music, with easy access to Lady Bird Lake trails

Compensation and benefits
  • Competitive base salary with bonus or equity depending on level

  • Top spec MacBook Pro (M4 or better)

  • Private Health, Dental and Vision, plus a monthly wellness stipend

  • 401(k) with company match

  • 20 days PTO plus US holidays, with vacation increasing over time

  • Flexible hours, casual dress, weekly team lunches and monthly outings

The fine print

Must be eligible to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.
