About Us

We are a well-funded SF Bay Area startup backed by tier-1 investors. We’re a small, cracked team in stealth, building an agentic platform for the hardest, least glamorous, but most valuable, software problems inside the Global 2000. Think decades-old business logic, mission-critical systems, and colossal codebases where every percent of reliability matters. Our product blends program analysis, developer tooling, and code generation to turn multi-year enterprise transformations into something teams can do in a fraction of the time, with verification, auditability, and real-world guarantees. Join a talent-dense founding team with meaningful equity and real growth upside at the intersection of ERP and artificial intelligence.

  • Ownership mentality, crisp communication, and comfortable making decisions with 80 percent information.

  • Move fast without breaking things, not afraid to learn new stacks, bring a we will figure it out attitude.

Why Join

  • Total compensation: $240,000 to $400,000

  • Base salary: $160,000 to $250,000 plus meaningful founding equity
