What you'll own and drive

As our first founding engineer, you’ll work directly with the founders on frontier applied-AI problems: long-horizon reasoning over years of complex financial data, reliable computer-use agents in brittle legacy systems, and evaluation infrastructure for high-stakes decisions where correctness is partly factual, partly judgment. In your first 6–12 months, you will:

• Build out the core infrastructure for one of the smartest lending systems ever shipped
• Own the product end to end — architecture, agents, evals, UI/UX
• Collison install/deploy with customers — fly to banks, sit with credit officers, watch them use what you built, and iterate on the flight home
• Create self-evolving agents and a software factory that improves with every iteration and automatically hill climbs on evals

Here’s what to expect in the next 90 days..

0-30 days: You’ll be building core infra that powers our commercial lending agents.

30-60 days: You’ll be leading 0-to-1 product build for one of our core product lines.

60-90 days: You’ll be deploying the product live on our client’s systems.

We're looking for..

• You deeply understand the importance of security, reliability, and auditability of shipping AI agents for banks, fintechs, and regulated financial institutions.
• You are constantly up to date with frontier agentic architecture, techniques, harnesses, and self-evolving infrastructure.
• You have a strong desire to own a product end to end: building it, deploying it, talking to customers, selling it, learning from it.
• You can hold your own with a 60-year-old banker — curious, respectful, and genuinely interested in what they know.
• You're comfortable with change. Early stage means rolling up your sleeves and staying flexible as the company, product, and priorities evolve. Learn and unlearn.
• You know that polish only matters when it serves real users. You don’t over-engineer, prematurely optimize, or reach for complexity just because you can. What matters most is the value we deliver. Just because you have a hammer, doesn’t mean everything is a nail.

Our tech stack

TypeScript, Next.js, Mastra, Postgres, AWS, Inngest, and more. In the age of AI, we think the tool preferences of coding agents are way more important than that of humans.

Our culture

• Fitness, health, and wellbeing first. Engineers who are physically wrecked build worse companies. Train, sleep, eat well.
• High trust, low overhead. No standups. No status updates. No "quick syncs." You'll be trusted to own your work end to end. If you need help, ask. If you don't, we won't invent a reason to check in.
• Be ready to do a bit of everything. There's no wall between engineering and go-to-market. Everyone talks to customers. Everyone sees the pipeline. Everyone owns a piece of a pitch at some point.
• Stay close to the customer. Empathy for the banks and officers we serve. Obsess over solving their actual problem — not the one we imagined.
• Pragmatism over perfection. We'll never be perfect, but we can always ship something, gather feedback, iterate, and improve. Experimentation is the default.
• No ego. Embrace feedback. Admit mistakes quickly. Celebrate team wins over individual ones.
• Direct. We'd rather have an awkward five-minute conversation than a polite six-month misalignment.

Benefits

• 1.5-3% equity
• $250-300K salary
• Full medical, dental, vision insurance
• All meals (lunch, dinner) fully expensed
• Gym and wellness stipend
• All customer travel fully covered
• Biweekly fun team events (we love to have fun!)

Logistics

• In-person at our offices in San Francisco
• Expect to fly ~2x a month to meet and deploy with clients
• We work intensely — but training, health, and sleep always come first
