# Founding Engineer

Replicas lets you manage cloud coding agents - swarms of frontier coding agents like Claude Code or Codex working in their own sandboxes. With their own customizable environments, they can iterate and work on any engineering task and deliver PRs. Replicas comes from the vision proposed by AI 2027, whereby so much of humanity’s day-to-day work will be done by these fleets of AI agents, each equipped with the tools to complete tasks for anything from deep research to software engineering. Our mission is to build the infrastructure and tooling to control these background agents. We want to build a team of exceptional people in San Francisco, to work on some of the most interesting problems and products of the next decade! About You We’re looking for people who chase as hard as they can. We want someone with opinions about where AI agents and software engineering is heading.
