AI Engineer - Grit
About Us
We believe there is a better way: we’re building AI bots that automatically maintain software through a combination of static analysis, our own query language, and machine learning.
Founders Fund and Abstract Ventures led our $7M seed round and we have shipped thousands of migrations for customers like Cloudflare and OpenAI.
We’re looking for passionate engineers who are excited to make a big impact in a small team.

About the role
As an early engineer, you’ll work on building our cloud product.
The core responsibility of this role is improving our playground for AI agents to write and test code. You’ll solve problems like:
How can we discover the dependencies and requirements for running unit tests on a repository, even if there’s no configuration written?
How do we efficiently fork a running cloud instance to try two alternative migration strategies in parallel?
How can we build a caching file system to make it faster to check out repositories on new machines, without keeping permanent copies of customer code?
How do we stream results back to customers with minimal latency to allow live monitoring and intervention?

We are hiring in-person in San Francisco.
