About the role
About Proliferate
Proliferate is building the operating system for modern engineering.
We are building the company in person in SoMa, San Francisco. We care a lot about intensity, craft, and working with people who want to do the best work of their careers. We work hard, and we also take health seriously: company-expensed Whoop, meaningful health and wellness budget, and top-tier insurance.
About the Founder
I (Pablo) finished my master's in AI at 19 and joined Onyx (YC W24) as engineer #1, where I spent a year building enterprise AI search before starting Proliferate. You can see what I shipped there here. We’ll be working closely together.
About the Role
You’d be one of our first engineering hires and build the core product. This is a high-ownership role across product, systems, and user experience.
Example work:
- Build a new core workflow end to end across agent runtime, product UI, and cloud infrastructure.
- Design and ship a new interface for human-agent collaboration made possible by a model capability that landed last week.
- Turn a rough customer pain point into a polished product surface in days.
- Re-think how engineering teams review, redirect, and trust agent work before merge.
Who We’re Looking For
We have an extremely small, flat, talent-dense team. We value urgency, taste, truth-seeking, and people who care deeply about the quality and impact of their work.
You might be a great fit if:
- You've shipped products from 0 to 1
