At HumanLayer, we’re on a mission to change how teams build software with AI. If we had a motto it would be “no vibes allowed” - we believe that AI agent-enabled coding is a deeply technical engineering craft, and we’re building CodeLayer to unlock it at scale. A Stanford study from June 2025 said AI can’t solve hard problems or work well in complex or legacy codebases, and we’re proving them wrong with advanced techniques inspired by Context Engineering (a term originally coined by our CEO Dex in April 2025).

Our product is an Agentic IDE built on claude code that helps CTOs and VPEs drive the transition to 99% AI-written code in their engineering orgs. Our MRR grew 100% last month, and we’re bringing on a founding engineer who loves to ship like crazy and get in the weeds with customers to solve big problems in AI Developer Productivity.

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.
