Summary
What you’ll impact
Our company is looking for a founding engineer to build the technical foundation of its agentic procurement platform. The engineer will design, build, ship, and operate core systems, create the intelligence layer, and define engineering standards and processes as the organization scales.
Responsibilities
What you'll do
- Own systems end to end: Design, build, ship, and operate major parts of Syntro across the stack.
- Build the intelligence layer: Turn emails, parts, BOMs, quotes, POs, supplier data, ERP records, and external information into structured context our product and agents can reason over.
- Build reliable agents: Design systems that can reason and take action while handling uncertainty, failures, permissions, and human intervention.
- Make foundational technical decisions: Choose architectures and abstractions that let us move quickly today without preventing us from scaling tomorrow.
- Raise the engineering bar: Establish how we test, deploy, observe, debug, and build software as the team grows.
- Stay close to customers: Understand how procurement actually works and use that context to make better technical and product decisions.
Requirements
What you’ll bring
- You're an exceptional engineer who can move comfortably across the stack.
- You've designed and shipped complex systems from zero to one.
- You have strong judgment about when to build something properly, when to move quickly, and when to throw something away.
- You think deeply about reliability, data correctness, observability, and failure modes.
- You can take an ambiguous company problem and drive it to a working system without waiting for a specification.
- You care about the product and customer, not just the architecture.
- You want the responsibility that comes with being one of the engineers who defines how a company builds.
