About the role

Superset is building self-improving software. It starts with giving engineers the best tools that adapt to their needs over time. Today, tens of thousands of engineers run Superset as their primary IDE, at companies like Wix, DoorDash, and Netflix.

We're building a flat and talent-dense team, and we're looking for people who have crazy ideas and are crazy enough to ship them. If you want to build a product you love to use, come build it with us.

About the role

We are looking for a founding engineer who will own a large chunk of the product suite from idea to production. This role is perfect for someone who works well autonomously, ship quickly, and has strong opinions.

What you'll do

  • Own large product features end to end. You’ll likely ship a feature to production in your first few days.
  • Build in any of our product surfaces: agent, cloud, terminal, mobile, factory. You’ll have to get down to the pty, stream transport level up to building UI.
  • Set up systems and processes to help the team ship faster.

We’re a source-available company, so your work is public from day one.

About us

The team includes 3 ex-YC CTOs, building a product that we love to use. We believe in hiring the smartest people and trust them to own the work. We’re building a talent dense, deeply technical team. We like to win, ship, and have fun.

You are a fit if

  • You have been a founder, or early employee at a startup.
  • You have shipped complex agentic products or infrastructure
  • You use coding agents daily and have strong opinions about the future of building with agents.
  • You can work in person in SF five days a week

Benefits

We currently offer our employees the following plans at no cost:

  • Healthcare: Kaiser Platinum 90 HMO 0/10
  • Dental: Guardian 1500
  • 401(k): Guideline

I you need another plan we are happy to work with you. We also offer unlimited time off, $5K desk stipend, free meals in the office.
