Software Engineer (San Francisco) | Instalily AI Software Engineer (San Francisco) Engineering | Full-time San Francisco Office Fast Track Hiring: Hackathon Track If you are based in San Francisco (or can make it) We are hosting a one-day, in-person hackathon in partnership with Google DeepMind on Feb 28. A full day, hands-on hackathon where builders come together to design, build, and deploy edge native systems that overcome the physical limits of the cloud. Winning teams walk out with an on-the-spot offer to join the founding SF team at InstaLILY AI. Apply here: https://luma.com/lw45p5sw About InstaLILY AI InstaLILY AI builds vertical AI Teammates (InstaWorkers™)—autonomous, role-based AI workers that execute revenue-critical work end-to-end inside a company's existing systems. Coordinated by InstaBrain™, our shared company intelligence layer, InstaLILY transforms fragmented data, inboxes, ERPs, and CRMs into reliable execution. The Opportunity We are opening our San Francisco office and hiring founding Software Engineers to build the core AI systems that power InstaLILY’s platform and West Coast growth. This is not a maintenance role—you will help define our technical architecture, product surface area, and engineering culture from day one. You’ll work closely with the founding engineering, product, and GTM teams to ship production-grade AI teammates used by enterprise customers in revenue-critical workflows. Your work will directly influence how we scale across customers, verticals, and markets. This role offers deep mentorship from senior engineering and company leadership, direct exposure to enterprise customers, and ownership over systems that matter. As the SF office grows, top performers will take on technical leadership and platform ownership.
Who You Are You move fast, care deeply about quality, and enjoy building real systems used by real customers. You’re energized by ambiguity and motivated by ownership. You want to understand not just how to build something—but why it matters in the context of customer workflows and business outcomes. You’re excited by AI, but grounded enough to ship reliable software around it. What You’ll Do Core Platform & AI Systems Build and evolve InstaLILY’s AI workflow platform, including orchestration, data pipelines, and execution logic for AI teammates Design and implement backend services that integrate with enterprise systems (CRMs, ERPs, internal tools) Work closely with product and GTM to translate customer

Humans + InstaLILY = Superhumans.
That is our mission at InstaLILY AI: to pair every person with an AI teammate who makes work faster, smarter, and more human. Our InstaWorkers™ are not bots or dashboards. They are better software — blending AI and code to create Code-as-Work, the ability to turn business workflows into bits and bytes that run themselves.
InstaWorkers™ are already deployed at some of the world’s most demanding companies. They log into Salesforce, SAP, and ERPs to handle quoting, follow-ups, claims, and backlogs across the complex distribution economy — from physical goods to insurance policies to industrial parts. With Instalily, work is not just automated, it is codified. That means fewer delays, fewer errors, and more time for people to do what only humans can: sell, solve, and lead.
We are an elite team of dreamers and doers based in New York City, united by one belief: when work becomes code, humans become superhuman.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
