Ai Engineer

## About the Role We're building AI agents that serve as the backbone for the world's businesses — starting with accounting, the hardest domain AI has ever touched. Every number has to be right. Every decision has to be traceable. Every agent has to survive legal scrutiny. We're not building demos. We're building infrastructure that sits beneath how real businesses run. We're looking for a founding engineer who wants to own the technical DNA of everything — not contribute to a roadmap, but define one. ## The Mission As our founding engineer, you'll build the core primitives that make autonomous AI agents reliable, inspectable, and scalable — across a model-agnostic harness, a cloud runtime for thousands of concurrent agents, and the memory and context systems that make them intelligent over time. ## What You'll Build - A model-agnostic agent harness — structured reasoning loops, tool calling, safe code execution, parallel orchestration. Simple. Deterministic. Inspectable. - A distributed cloud runtime for hundreds to thousands of fully isolated concurrent agents — container orchestration, ephemeral compute, filesystem virtualization, execution tracing - Advanced harness systems — dynamic tool search, decision-time prompting, context pruning, compression, and compaction - A multi-layer memory architecture — working memory, episodic task memory, long-term semantic retrieval, and compression over time ## What We're Looking For - Deep experience building distributed systems or AI infrastructure from scratch - Strong instincts for correctness, determinism, and debuggability in complex systems - Comfort with ambiguity — you've shipped things that had no playbook - Someone who's looked at their own work and thought "I don't know anyone else who could have built this" ## Good to Have - Experience with container orchestration, sandboxing, or ephemeral compute - Familiarity with LLM tool-use, agent frameworks, or RAG systems - Understanding of context window management, memory compression, or retrieval at scale ## Why Join - This is the only seat — not a headcount, not a queue. One person shapes the architecture of everything - You're solving the hardest AI trust problem: accounting, where a single wrong digit has legal consequences - If you can build agents that survive accounting, you've built agents that can survive anything - Bengaluru-based, early stage — the kind of work you'll look back on and know you built something that lasted
