About the role
Arzana is building the autonomous operating system for US manufacturers. It’s an ERP with the back-office of custom agents built in that automatically make quotes, enter orders, schedule jobs, purchase materials, process invoices, and arrange logistics. We’re growing 75% month-over-month and looking for engineers that thrive in fast moving, 70-80 hour week, high-ownership roles.
As a founding engineer, you will work directly with the CTO to build agents and configure our ERP platform for customer-specific applications. You’ll also contribute to the onboarding agent that takes in terabytes of a customer’s historical data and task mining videos and autonomously builds their custom agent / ERP.
This is a high-ownership role for someone excited to operate across product, engineering, and customer workflows from day one.
What you’ll do
• Extend existing agents to support more customer configurations, edge cases, and backend integrations
- Build entirely new agent types from scratch
- Build custom neural net models, fine-tune LLMs and VLMs on factory data to replicate expert human operator actions and orchestrate business and production workflows
- Translate human-described business workflows into clean chains of extraction, reasoning, and action nodes
- Wire agents into external APIs and operational systems
- Own technical decisions across the agents’ platform, from architecture through implementation
- Work directly with the CEO on product direction, roadmap, and prioritization
- Help build out the team and manage future engineers as the company grows
What we’re looking for
-
Experience working in or closely with manufacturing environments: We’re talking gritty, old school manufacturers in rural areas. Translating their non-technical description of a specific workflow into a reliable agent requires learning to speak their language, ask the right questions, and above all, commit massive amounts of information to memory in a short period of time.
