About the role

Attune is building developer tools for a post-AI world.

Our first product is faster build tools that require zero migration effort. AI is enabling engineers to write code faster than ever. The next bottleneck will be all the other tooling between code and deployment.

We’re looking for a Founding Software Engineer to help us build the future of software development: someone with the taste to see how the future of software development should look, and the autonomy and pragmatism to build that future.

This is for you if

You care deeply about the craft of software engineering. We think the best tools can only be built by people who earnestly care.
You’re comfortable jumping around in different programming languages. We’ll mostly be building in Rust, but you should expect to quickly pick up other languages in order to understand how their build systems work.
You’re unafraid of digging into black boxes. Hacking compilers tends to involve a lot of reading the spec, realizing that the spec is incomplete, and then reading the source code to understand behavior.
You own problems end-to-end. Building the future involves talking to customers, understanding their needs, navigating ambiguity, and wearing lots of hats. Bonus points if you’ve shipped 0-to-1 in production before.

Why you should join

Work alongside experienced co-founders. Both of us have scaled previous developer tools companies from zero to 8 figures, and we know where all the pitfalls are.
Build the future you want to see. Have you ever been annoyed at your tools, but never had time to actually fix them? Come work on that full-time.

Attune makes blazingly fast build tools that require zero migration effort.

As AI enables developers to write code faster than ever, slow builds are increasingly becoming the bottleneck in development velocity. Developers regularly lose hours of productivity every day waiting for their builds. Imagine being able to write code in 1 minute, but needing to wait 30 minutes to compile, deploy, and test it.

Existing solutions either require painful migrations to new tools (e.g. Bazel) or rely on just using bigger servers to run your builds. Instead, we do native, first-class integrations into compilers and build systems.

With Attune, you don't need to integrate a new tool. Just make a one-line change from cargo build to hurry cargo build for 20x faster builds.

Eliza (ex-Google) and Xin worked together for 3 years at FOSSA, where Eliza was Head of Engineering and Xin was Head of Product. Eliza brings a decade of programming languages and build systems expertise, while Xin brings a decade of experience building developer tools products, most recently as VP of Product at Teleport (S15). Having experienced the pain of slow builds firsthand across hundreds of production codebases, we're building the solution we've always wanted.
