You've put tool-using AI agents in production and debugged the harness yourself. Be the second technical co-founder in all but name.
A seed-stage startup in New York runs an agentic operating system for restaurant back-of-house work: inventory, ordering, prep and invoices. Signed restaurants grow week over week. You'd own the product from zero to one, from the agent that drafts a purchase order to the screen where a manager approves it, with agents that move real money every day.
What you'll own
The agent harness: context, tool execution, state, failure recovery, human approval and evals
The product around it, from approval UIs to integrations
Customer conversations and the roadmap, with a voice in strategy from day one
Must-haves
You've shipped tool-using LLM agents to production and built or debugged the harness itself
A product spike with taste: React and full stack (infra-only profiles won't fit)
A founder mentality: you own outcomes, not tickets
1+ year of experience (roughly 1–3)
In the New York office at an intense early-startup pace, 9-9-6
Bonus points
Something you founded or built for real users
Early-employee time at a fast-scaling startup
A strong computer science education
What's in it for you
$150k–$220k base + 1–3% equity
A founding seat with real influence on product and strategy
Good to know
Full-time, in the New York office, 9-9-6
