General Application

01. The Problem

Lack of connectivity is the most fundamental problem in the physical economy.

The physical economy runs on networks of interconnected companies, but on systems that were never designed to talk to each other. Every time two companies need to exchange data, someone builds a custom integration by hand: business analysts, integration engineers, QA. Manual, every time. (Google EDI if you haven't. It's wild.)

A lot of companies have tried to fix this. Nobody has. We think AI agents are the way.

02. What We're Building

Temper is an agentic integration platform for the real economy. Specialized AI agents handle the full lifecycle: gathering requirements in plain English, generating integration code, testing, deploying, and keeping integrations alive in production. When something breaks, the agents fix it.

We have paying enterprise customers and real integrations running in production. There's more demand than we can keep up with.

Seed-funded with over $8M raised. Earliest team of under 10.

03. The Founders

Daniel (CPO) grew up in his family's trucking business. Built the freight product at Hive, Europe's leading eCom logistics startup, from 0 to $M. Hardware-native engineer who taught himself to code.

Heinrich (CEO) ran 100+ person warehouse operations at Amazon, then consulted on system integrations at KPMG. Built Hive's largest revenue line from zero.

Nick (CTO) built Lilith at 16, led an offensive security program for a nation-state, entrepreneur for 8 years. In eCom, he led the tech that scaled a company from 0 to $100M in 3 years.

Daniel and Heinrich built Hive from pre-seed to 400+ people. They've been living this problem for years.

04. Who We're Looking For

We hire for ownership, taste, and the ability to move fast in ambiguous environments. The specific role matters less than the person.

We are a small team building something technically hard in a domain most people have never heard of. Everyone here owns something real, works directly with the founders, and ships constantly.

If that sounds like the environment where you do your best work, we want to hear from you. Engineering, design, GTM, operations: if you are exceptional at what you do and the problem resonates, reach out.

• You have owned real things end-to-end and shipped them.

• You move independently and do not wait to be told what to do.

• You have strong opinions and change them when the evidence says so.

• You want a true early-stage, in-person experience in San Francisco: fast-paced, high intensity.

05. What We Offer

• Top-quartile compensation and meaningful equity

• Top-tier office in San Francisco

• M5 MacBook Pro and whatever else you need to move fast

• Full health coverage

06. The Process

• Screen (20 min): Quick chat, mutual fit.

• Deep dive (45 min): Your career, what you've built, how you think.

• Further interviews: Tailored to the role we land on together.

• Offer: Under two weeks from first call to offer.
