About the role
As the founding engineer at TraceRoot, you’ll work side-by-side with the founders to build the product and shape our engineering culture from the ground up.
You’ll wear many hats, touching everything from AI systems and user-facing features to backend infrastructure and open-source SDKs.
We move fast, debate hard, and execute even harder, shipping new features weekly and iterating live with users. You’ll work in person with the founders at least 3 days a week, white boarding, coding, and shipping together. If you love building fast, solving hard problems head-on, and seeing your code impact real users within days, you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Do
- Talk to users often to deeply understand how to improve TraceRoot’s AI and UX (you can expect to spend 10-20% of your time on support)
- Ship full-stack features and build the foundational building blocks that users will use to build their apps seamlessly
- Maintain our open-source projects to help grow and engage our developer community
- Improve our AI agents’ performance, reliability, and edge-case handling to continuously enhance AI output quality (for both function + design)
- Build robust infrastructure for our end-to-end platform to power millions of telemetry events
Requirements
- Strong full-stack experience with React, TypeScript, and Node.js: you’ve shipped production features end-to-end
- Strong sense of ownership: you’re autonomous and own features from start to finish
- Strong communicator: you write clearly, think rigorously, and can collaborate well within small teams
