Founding Head of Engineering (EnterpriseB2B)
Job Summary
If you have ever wanted to build something that changes how engineering teams work at a fundamental level this is that moment.
What You Will Build
Our product sits inside the developers existing workflow. When something breaks in production it detects it reasons about it across logs traces and code history writes a fix and files it as a pull request. The engineer reviews. The loop closes without a 2am page.
As the founding engineer you will own the core of this:
The agent runtime that orchestrates detection investigation and fix generation
Integrations with error monitoring ingestion pipelines and telemetry sources
Code analysis and patch generation across real production codebases
The SDK that engineering teams drop in to connect their stack to our product
Infrastructure that runs reliably at the scale of production error volume
What We Are Looking For
This is not a role with a defined scope. The right person sees an incomplete system and moves toward it. Concretely:
You have built and shipped production systems at scale distributed systems platform infrastructure or developer tooling
You are comfortable working across the full stack of a problem: from telemetry ingestion to LLM orchestration to the PR that lands in a developers queue
You have opinions about system design and the confidence to defend them and the self-awareness to change them
You write code that other engineers enjoy reading
You have worked with or alongside observability systems OpenTelemetry tracing log pipelines APM either as a builder or as a heavy user
You move fast without leaving structural debt that becomes someone elses problem
Why This Role Is Different
You are not joining a team. You are setting the technical direction for a company that does not exist yet in its final form.
Every architectural decision you make in the next six months will be load-bearing. That is a rare kind of leverage.
The problem is genuinely hard LLM-assisted root cause analysis on real distributed systems is not solved. You will be working on something that has not been done well before.
You will work directly with the founders. No layers no process no committee decisions on technical direction.
