To apply, you must submit a short video by email. See the full application instructions at https://tasklet.ai/careers.\nTasklet is building the AI platform companies use to run their business on agents. A customer describes an outcome in plain English, and Tasklet gets the work done across their tools and systems-immediately or in the cloud 24×7. We’re looking for unusually strong generalist engineers to build the product foundations that make Tasklet work. This includes the backend APIs behind product features; accounts, workspaces, permissions, billing, payments, and analytics; and the connector, authentication, webhook, and trigger infrastructure that lets Tasklet act across a company’s tools. This is a mostly backend role, but not a narrow specialization. You’ll turn messy product and business needs into clean primitives, then follow those systems into the product and infrastructure as needed. We care more about intelligence, first-principles reasoning, and strong computer-science fundamentals than experience with any particular technology or domain. We’re open to candidates from mid-level to Staff+. Regardless of level, this is a hands-on IC role: everyone at Tasklet personally builds and ships.\nCompensation\n$225K-$425K base salary\n0.20%-0.65% equity\nCompensation is calibrated to experience and expected impact. Competitive benefits include medical, dental, vision, 401(k), four weeks of PTO, free lunch, and more.\nWhat you’ll do\nBuild backend APIs and services that power Tasklet’s product.\nDevelop core systems for identity, workspaces, sharing, permissions, billing, payments, and analytics.\nBuild reliable infrastructure for connectors, authentication, webhooks, triggers, and third-party integrations.\nDesign simple abstractions and data models that can support a fast-changing product.\nOwn systems in production and improve their correctness, security, reliability, and operational simplicity.\nWork across the stack and across role boundaries whenever that is the best way to solve the problem.\nWho you are\nYou’re an exceptional problem solver with strong computer-science fundamentals.\nYou reason from first principles, see how parts interact within a larger system, and move comfortably between levels of abstraction.\nYou’ve built and operated meaningful production software, and you can debug a problem wherever it leads.\nYou balance clean design with pragmatism: you know when to create a durable primitive and when to ship the simple thing.\nYou learn quickly, operate well with ambiguity, and prefer responsibility over process.\nYou use AI deeply in your own work. We don’t require prior professional AI experience, but we do expect you to already be seriously engaged: using current models, probing their limits, and forming your own views about where they are going. This role is full-time and primarily in person at our office at 1 Post St. in San Francisco.\nThe whole process can move very quickly.\nSend us a video application by following the instructions on our jobs page here.\nWe’ll get on a call with you\n If there seems like a mutual fit, we’ll bring you onsite for 1/2 day.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3155,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Workflow & Process Automation (RPA, BPM)","AI Agents"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T13:49:24Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":13,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.466,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":61,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","urgency","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-06T05:58:05Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":425000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tasklet-software-engineer-platform","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tasklet-software-engineer-platform.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T20:27:14Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4701,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":20253},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=20253"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftasklet-software-engineer-platform"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftasklet-software-engineer-platform"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftasklet-software-engineer-platform"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/tasklet-software-engineer-platform\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftasklet-software-engineer-platform"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":284360}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"tasklet.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":284360},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
